Processional Songs and Recessional Songs
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, send us an email through the contact us link on the bottom of the page and we'll add it.
Recessional Songs are played at a wedding ceremony after the bride and groom have been announced husband and wife. Recessional songs play while the bride and groom walk down the aisle after the ceremony is complete; away from the alter. The song can continue to play as the wedding party also exit down the aisle. If you have a special recessional song that you think we should add to our list, send us an email through the contact us link on the bottom of the page and we'll add it. Please Note: Many songs listed below can be found with vocals and as instrumentals. If the link is for vocals, please search on Amazon.com and iTunes for what you are looking for and visa versa.
