Recessional Wedding Music

You did it! Congratulations, it is now time to celebrate! Recessional wedding music is played at the conclusion of the wedding ceremony. After your officiant pronounces you man and wife, your guests will applaud as you make your way back up the aisle or out of your ceremony location. Joyous recessional music that is bright and upbeat should be playing at this time. The most popular choice for the recessional is Mendelssohn's Wedding March.

But there are many more songs that are appropriate for your recessional.
