Recessional Music...Not sure if we should keep it traditonal

We are walking down the aisle to "Everything" by Lifehouse.

Sorry I meant when your exiting the cermony. I want something fun...but not sure if it would come off as tacky.

I think the recessional is always an exciting time and people would enjoy something light-hearted. I would definitely go with a fun song for the recessional, even if you do the traditional bridal march when you walk down the aisle.

We weren't traditional at all. Our Recessional song was "A Whole new World" From Aladdin.

We're probably going to use "i'm yours" by jason mraz, or "lucky" by jason mraz/colbie caillat... it's all about making the whole day about you guys. if you guys have a favorite song or 2 you can use them, or acoustic versions! since i'm a fan of jason mraz (obv lol) i'm going to walk down the aisle to an acoustic version of "i won't give up" by jason mraz, it's also the song that FI's coworker learned in a day and played at the proposal

We're doing I'm a Believer by Smashmouth I can't believe the priest approved it but he did!

I'm doing "Fireflies" by Owl City for the Recessional. Don't know if it makes sense, but I love that song and it's definitely fun!

We are also doing I'm a Believer by Smashmouth.

I definitely vote for a light, fun, upbeat song to leave to. Every wedding I've been to it's just so much more fun that way! Last June when my BM got married they used "Walking on sunshine" It was so sweet.

I'm walking down the Aisle to an instrumental version of Beauty and the Beast by Jim Brickman and our recessional is going to be A Whole New World Instrumental from Disney's Fairytale Weddings CD. So we're totally skipping the traditional and going for what we love.

None of our music for the entire wedding is traditional. We are mixing it up We are huge 80's fans so we have a lot of 80's but also a mix of other things . the bridal party is walking down to Masquerade by berlin because are wedding is masquerade theme. the ring bearers are walking to star wars and our final we havent decided yet.. We are huge on Harry Potter but still not sure I better hurry up and figure all this out my wedding is getting so close

Lol welll we are thinking about the first 20 seconds of Star Wars Throne Room by Vitamin String Quartet

and then the rest

We are doing the instrumental piano version of here comes the sun by the beatles, we are using untraditional music for the whole ceremony, my BP is coming down to an instrumental of unchained melody, and I am walking to an instrumental of a thousand years by christina perri

We are still in debates about the imperial march Fh wants to see if there is anything else but I say by the time the 20 seconds rolls by we will be down the aisle and people will just laugh =)

We are doing i could not ask for more"by Edward McCain" for the exiting song.

For our recessional we're doing "When the Day Met the Night" by Panic! at the Disco. It's a really cute song and one of his favorites. All of our decisions for music so far have been very non-traditional.

Our recessional was "Smile" by Uncle Kracker....I had a guy friend singing it and another guy playing a piano. It was great!

We are doing "Don't worry baby," by the beach boys!

You all have some great picks! My FH wants to use the choirs from Nikki Minaj's "moment for life". I thought "The good Life" by Kanye West. We thought either one of those were fun.

Darla- as a DJ I hardly ever have brides & grooms that want the traditional songs anymore. Unless you've always dreamed of exiting to the Bridal March, then go for what makes you happy! If you go with Kanye or Minaj, every time someone who was at your wedding hears that song (including you two) it will bring them back to that moment in time. Make it yours! Hey, and a good DJ should be able to mix both of your suggestions into one recessional song... Have fun and congrats!

I haven't done a wedding that did 'traditional' recessional music for over a year!

Recent weddings I did used, at THEIR choice :

Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith

Walk It Out - DJ Unk (yeah, really, ha!)

White Wedding - Billy Idol

Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves

Another One Bites the Dust - Queen

Yeah, I've had some fun couples!
