Ideas for Wedding Processionals and Recessionals

 

You can reach the Organist/Choirmaster, Bruce Smith, via

e-mail or by phone: (315) 733-7575, extension 227.

​

NOTE: These are just suggested uses for the pieces. Some pieces work either as the processional (walking in) or

the recessional (walking out). Don't be afraid to ask me! Thank you for taking the time to listen to the recordings.

You need to select a piece for the Processional (the entrance of the whole wedding party, including the bride)

and a piece for the Recessional (the "exiting" piece).
