     The Recessional. A matter of minutes that bring an experience and feeling immediately after a bride and groom have exchanged vows, sealed their love with a kiss and are pronounced husband and wife. The recession is also the initial moment of celebration for the bride and groom as well as their guests. After all of the seriousness, nervousness and pressure that may arrive with the ceremony, including walking up the aisle, the recession is finally a bride and grooms time to turn, face their guests and say to the world “We Did It!!”. Despite this fact, the song selection chosen for the ceremony recession for a bride and groom is quite often overlooked. It’s understandable. A bride may spend her time and efforts in finding that perfect song for her and her bridesmaids to walk down the aisle to, meanwhile, the song selection after the ceremony is often forgotten or neglected to be chosen. That’s where Top Notch comes in!

     Here is a list of our top recommended and most popular songs to play for the recession of a ceremony. These are selections are broken out into 2 categories, which are the top most common chosen that we play along with a few not so common, less cliché pieces that we often recommend for brides and grooms during consultations. Please note that YOU WILL NOT find the traditional “Bridal March” listed in this post. It is 2016 friends. Not only is “The Bridal March” no longer expected, but it is also very conventional and somewhat unoriginal. To play in place of“The Bridal March” Top Notch recommends the following…..
