Recessional Song Ideas

I'm in the same boat as you are. I keep going back to Forever by Chris Brown, but I'm trying to avoid it.

I love Gheorghe Zamfir! lol I bet everyone is going to get tired of me raving about him. Also Richard Clayderman does awesome instrumental versions of songs.

We wanted something upbeat and fun too, but ours isn't an instrumental. We are using I'm a Believer(from the movie Shrek), by Smashmouth.

Check out Vitamin String Quartet. They do instrumental covers and are fantastic!

We are using You're So Cool by Hans Zimmer from the movie True Romance. We are having it done on steel drums though

We are using The Beatles "All you need is love" We wanted upbeat but something that a lot of generations would like

Here are some fun/crazy ideas... some of them are more instrumental than others:

2 Unlimited - Get Ready For This

James Brown - I Got You (I Feel Good)

Harold Faltermeyer - Axel F (Theme from Beverly Hills cop)

Walter Murphy - A Fifth of Beethoven

Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling

The O'Jays - Love Train

The Champs - Tequila

Quincy Jones & Orchestra - Soul Bossa Nova (used as the theme for Austin Powers)

David Foster - Love Theme from St. Elmo's Fire

Some TV themes might fit what you're looking for:

Mission Impossible

Magnum PI

Batman

Beverly Hills 90210

Dallas

Hawaii 5-0

We are using the instrumental version of 1234 by the Plain White Ts. It's played by Vitamin String Quartet. Its happy and upbeat and we consider it one of our songs so it is perfect for us.
