A Guide for the Bride & Groom
Five Easy Steps to Picking Your Wedding Ceremony Music
The Bridesmaid/Attendants Procession
Bridesmaids, Maid or Matron of Honor, Junior Bridesmaids, Flower Girls, Ring Bearers and anything else that walks down the aisle just prior to the bride will enter to the music in this section. The feel of the music is graceful and flowing. One of the most commonly used pieces is the Canon by Johann Pachelbel. Click the picture or link above to listen Bridesmaid songs.

This is the what everyone has been waiting for! Words that come to mind about choosing music for the bridal procession: elegant, uplifting, regal, majestic (we even have a “Royal Procession” example) and in contrast to the feel of the Bridesmaid Procession. Some brides love the Pachelbel Canon so much, they want that for their entry. The Bridesmaids would then enter to something like the Trumpet Tune by Purcell.

You probably will want to choose music for the Unity Candle, which is replaced sometimes with a Sand Ceremony. A Catholic Wedding Ceremony also has music for the Psalm and Alleluia; if a Mass is included, there is music for Presentation of the Gifts and Communion. We have some great pieces to listen to for these sections, as well as two Ave Maria compositions for Presentation of the Flowers, coming just before the recessional.

The Recessional
Music for the recessional is definitely up tempo and joyous; one of our recessionals is Rejouissance meaning rejoice! Click the picture to listen to Recessionals.
