21 Amazing Recessional Songs For Your Wedding

Music plays an important role in weddings – from the song that is played when the Bride walks down the aisle, to the father/daughter dance, and the first dance as a newly married couple – the music selected for your special day sets the tone of your wedding, makes a statement about you as a couple, and will be associated with many happy memories for years to come.

In addition to the music that is expected at a wedding, such as the song for the couple’s first dance as husband and wife, it’s now quite common for couples to play music during the wedding ceremony – such as when the couple are signing the register – or to signal the end of the wedding ceremony, also known as a recessional song.
