Recessional Music Options

I’m putting the finishing touches on a ceremony idea packet for one of my clients, and it inspired me to blog about some recessional music options.

If you don’t want to dance your way back up the aisle like the wedding party in my previous post did on their way down, there are some more traditional options.

Handel’s “Hornpipe” from the Water Music Suite is one of my traditional and classical favorites:

For a still traditional, but slightly more alternative recessional alternative, I absolutely love George Winston’s

“Variations on the Kanon by Pachelbel.” Of course, this would only work if you did not go down the aisle to Canon in D:

Of course, if the classical genre is not your taste, there is plenty of room to have fun in your recessional song selection, especially if you aren’t limited by house of worship song policies.

Consider Vince Guaraldi’s “Linus and Lucy” theme:

Or U2′s “Beautiful Day”:

Now if only you could just get Bono to show up and serenade you and your guests live…..
