Processional Songs - Wedding Ceremony Songs

Walking to the altar from behind wedding guests to start the wedding ceremony is customarily set to music. The people walking down the isle could include as much as the entire wedding party to as few as the bride herself. This is known as the processional. In addition, the same can be said for the exiting of the wedding party and all guests, the recessional. However, the bridal couple starts the recessional after the announcement of the new married couple to their guests from the minister. Then, the wedding party exists followed by the wedding guests from front to back rows.

Processional Songs are played at a wedding ceremony while the bride walks down the isle. The same song can also be played while the wedding party walks down the isle to their seats and positions at the alter. We tried to list the more popular traditional and non-traditional songs. If you have a special processional song that you think we should add to our list, please add your song suggestion through the comment section below.

Traditional processional songs listed below include Wedding March by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Trumpet Tune by Henry Purcell and Canon In D Major by Johann Pachelbel. If you have a beach themed wedding, we would suggest Somewhere Over The Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole. We have also included romantic pop songs which include If I Ain't Got You by Alicia Keyes and A Whole New World, from the movie Aladdin by Peabo Bryson & Regina Belle. Our processional songs list includes many genres such as classical, jazz, country, rock, indie, new age and more.
