Wedding Recessional Songs
The joyful walk back up the aisle as newlyweds.
The recessional is the celebratory walk back up the aisle as a married couple — usually the first big, upbeat moment of the day.
Tips for choosing:
- Go big — this is a celebration moment, so don't hold back on energy.
- Pick something that makes guests want to clap or cheer.
- A song meaningful to your relationship works well here too.
- Keep the tempo brisk to match a quicker recessional pace.
