Wedding Music

As you plan the music for your wedding, you will need to choose processional and recessional music. The processional is when the bridal party walks in at the beginning of the service, and the recessional is when they exit at the end. The organist can play any of the musical selections listed below; please listen and make your choices at your own convenience. All are excellent choices for making your wedding a festive and meaningful occasion.
You may choose one processional for the bridesmaids/flower girls and a separate processional for the bride, or you may choose just one for the entire bridal party. Several of the louder processionals may be used as recessionals as well; however, the recessionals are not recommended as processionals. Most selections can be shortened or lengthened to accommodate the size of your wedding party.
Download this form (which can be completed on your computer and printed) to complete your requests. Please submit this form as soon as you have made your selections (at least 2 weeks before the wedding).
