Processional and Recessional??

I'm curious to see your responses on this cause I a too am having trouble with picking ceremony music.

I don't think that the ambiance music really needs to match with the ceremony music. I don't see a problem with going from upbeat to classical. It makes people know that the ceremony is starting.

I'm still in planning stages of this but so far I'm thinking...bridesmaids walk down to Vitamin String Quartet's cover of Bruno Mars "Just The Way You Are"...me walking down to DJ Sammy's "Heaven" (Candlelight Remix not the fast techno version)...recessional Colbie Caillat "I Do"

Our processional is "Marry Me" by Train and I'm walking down to The Piano Guys' version of Bruno Mars' "Just the Way You Are." Our recessional is "Never Knew I Needed" by NeYo

We are doing the following:

Bride Entrance - A dream is a wish your heart makes

Recessional - Walking on sunshine

We won't be having a processional

Omg! i was thinking of doing "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" since Cinderella is my favorite! and my dress is a princess dress, well i think anyways. haha I recently heard Train's- Marry Me, and I cried, so i might have to throw that in there somewhere too! thanks for all of the ideas!

I've struggled with music too. I think I want classical for the processional and bridal entrance only because I've dreamed about it for years

After a HUGE wedding-stress-induced-fight we has "The Imperial March" from "The Empire Strikes Back" for our processional-- it got everyone smiling to have such ominious music for all our attendants! I had Hayden for my processional and the we had the theme from 'Superman' for the recessional. My brother, who got married a few years later, had the theme from "The Raiders of the Lost Ark" for his recessional.

My processional is Can't help falling in love with you by Ingrid Michaelson, I'm walking in to Marry Me by Train and walking out to Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Iz. (My Future MIL is obsessed haha)

We have a friend that is a classically trained violinist and she's also in an amazing Celtic band. She is going to play while I walk down the aisle.

My processional is going to be Canon in D. I am going to walk down to my brother playing "Marry Me" by Train on the guitar. Muy recreational is going to either be The Wedding March or Marry You by Bruno Mars. I haven't decided yet.

Professional: Largo By Handel

Bride's Entrance: Canon in D

Recessional: Trumpet Voluntary

We are using A Thousand Years for our unity portion of the ceremony. Our String Duo will also play a mix of pop songs while guests are being seated.

Processional: Trumpet Voluntary

Brides Entrance: Bridal Chorus

Recessional: The heavens declare the Glory of God

Our organist suggested them because they are traditional.. we had no idea what to choose, so we're going with his expertise

Processional: who knows?

My entrance: We've only just begun -- The Carpenters

Recessional: Either We are the champions by Queen or All I want is you - Barry Polisar

I've been wanting to squeeze in All I Want Is You somehow! I'm not sure what my processional is, but my entrance is Canon in D and recessional is Now We're One by Buddy Holly. all on our record player!

Processional is "Can't Help Falling in Love" by The Piano Guys

Bride Entrance is "Just the Way You Are" by The Piano Guys

Recessional is "You Make My Dreams Come True" by Hall & Oates

Tentatively, our processional will be "Canon in D" by Brian Crane... My entrance will be "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri or The Piano Guys... and I believe our recessional will be "Best Day of My Life" by American Authors.

Seating of the families: Canon in D

Wedding party processional: All of Me by John Legend

Bridal Processional: Dee by Randy Rhodes

Recessional: Second Line
