Exiting In Style

My Top Tips for the end of your wedding ceremony

3 things you can do to achieve the perfect wedding exit.

These wedding tips apply to all types of wedding ceremonies

The right choice of music is vital for your wedding Recessional piece. I always suggest to pick something upbeat that will lend itself to a cheerful and joyous party vibe.

An up-tempo song or hymn will also sit nicely over the applause and cheers from your guests.

Check out my list of Recessional Music >HERE<

Take your time walking down the aisle. It’s easy to get lost in moment with all the excitement but hear me out…

Actually hold back for a few extra seconds after the music starts. Stand at the top of the aisle, soak it all in and look at all those happy faces.

These are your nearest and dearest family and friends so share that time with them.

Maybe wait until a key part of the song kicks in – like the chorus or the part that everyone knows well. Then go for it!!*

Just walk down the aisle when you are ready. There is no hurry, your wedding singer won’t run out of music and they will actually thank you for not rushing it.

*you can always ask your wedding singer to start with the chorus if the song doesn’t usually. So you’re getting the best part of the song from the get-go

This one is for the bridal party. Do not forget, you are still on duty, so follow the newlyweds down the aisle in pairs or whatever you have decided on in advance. BUT, hold back a few seconds and let them have their moment.
 
Nowadays some couples are stopping half way down the aisle for a photo op or a kiss so that’s something to consider too.
 
This means the photographer/videographer can get a few clear shots of the couple before the aisle fills up.
 

As you’ll see in the video above – The amazing Graham Barrett Registered Solemniser was on hand here at Emma & Shane’s wedding to help co-ordinate the perfect wedding recessional. What a pro!
