Recessional

The recessional is when the bride and groom leave together down the aisle. The music chosen for
this moment is festive and upbeat, as the guests applaud the newly-married couple.

Note that some selections can be played with extra instruments such as trumpet, or can be done by the organ alone.
This is simply a matter of taste and of budget. Don't be confused by the titles—even pieces called
"Trumpet Tunes" can be played without a trumpet player.

After the bride and groom are down the aisle, we keep playing for a few minutes as you greet your guests.
