So Many Recessional Songs, So Many Choices
You’re imagining your big day and celebrating the joy you feel for your new spouse, so of course you want to end your ceremony on a high note… but which high note, exactly? With so many options, it’s tough to decide which Recessional is right for your exit into marital bliss. You’re here for a reason though, and we’ve narrowed down our favorite Recessional Songs to make it easier for you!
We’ve recently had a lot of requests for Beatles Recessional Songs and “I Want to Hold Your Hand” is one of our favorites! It’s upbeat and fun melody will have everyone on their feet to end your ceremony in a remarkably memorable way. This is a unique Beatles song to choose, but definitely one of their most celebratory songs! Listen in to our String Quartet’s instrumental version below to see why we’re such big fans.
If you’re looking to end your Wedding Ceremony with an exclamation point, this next iconic song may be the one for you! A Southern Strings classic, “Marry You” by Bruno Mars is one of our favorite songs to perform. This joyful and optimistic tune is a great choice for any size ensemble you choose. We’ve performed this popular recessional at some of our favorite Nashville landmarks, from the Parthenon, to Cheekwood Botanical Gardens, and even the Country Music Hall of Fame! Below is one of our highest requested Trios performing “Marry You”.
We will not shut up about this Southern String fav - “Shut Up and Dance” by Walk the Moon is one of the best Recessional songs of all time! We’ve had so much fun practicing and performing this cheerful jam at venues like Hachland Hill and Longhollow Gardens. It also makes a great song for cocktail hours and receptions!
So before you decide on your first song you’ll hear as a couple, make sure you pick a song that will leave a lasting impression for you and your guests! We hope you consider working with Southern Strings to bring that important moment to life. Reach out to get your Wedding Music off of your to-do list! :)
