(Please note that if you follow a link to my YouTube channel, not everything is available to play at weddings. Check the repertoire list for what I can play!)
Processional music is what plays when the wedding party and bride walk down the aisle. You can have one song play for everyone, or one song for the bride and one song for everyone else. The following songs are excellent choices for processional music, but many can easily be used during other parts of the ceremony as well.
Classical options:
Wagner's Wedding March ("Here Comes the Bride")
Pachelbel's Canon (Canon in D)
Pop options:
Can't Help Falling in Love - Elvis
A Thousand Years - Christina Perri
Signing of the Register
While the new spouses and witnesses sign the register, there is a fairly long pause so I will play music to fill the silence. These are some songs that are appropriate for the signing, but this section is very flexible and almost anything can work here.
The Shearin's No for You (Scottish Traditional)
Arioso (Bach)
River Flows in You - Yiruma
Beauty and the Beast/Tale as Old as Time
Fields of Gold - Sting
In My Life - The Beatles
Marry Me - Train
The Recessional
The recessional music is at the very end of the ceremony when the newlyweds walk back down the aisle. For this song we usually want something upbeat, joyous, and celebratory.
Classical options:
Finale from Music for the Royal Fireworks
Pop options:
I'm Yours - Jason Mraz
Just the Way You Are - Bruno Mars
Better Together - Jack Johnson
You’re My Best Friend - Queen
