Wedding music is such a personal choice and many couples don’t know where to start. The music played as you both leave the wedding venue is the first song you walk back up the aisle to as an officially married couple.

Working in the wedding industry Doctor Chocolate are often asked by couples What music do we choose as our wedding exit music after the ceremony?

Well, music is a personal choice but its also an extremely important part of any celebration.

If you are getting married in a church – you’ll need to choose your exit music.  You can choose classical wedding music for your exit theme or pick a song that means something to you – perhaps a song that was playing when you first met (as long as it’s also suitable for playing in a church! Something like Smack My Bitch Down probably won’t be suitable!).

If you are having a civil ceremony – then you have a wider choice of songs to play for your entrance, recessional and exit music – but you can’t have anything played that has a religious side to it – so no hymns or similar.

Once you have exchanged vows and signed the register – it’s time for you to leave as an official wedding couple!

Here are a wedding music exit suggestions:

Signed, Sealed Delivered I’m Yours – Stevie Wonder
For Once In My Life – Stevie Wonder
Now That We’ve Found Love – Heavy D & The Boys
Better Together – Jack Johnson
Somewhere Over The Rainbow – Israel Kamakawiwo’ole
From This Moment On – Shania Twaine
Can You Feel The Love Tonight – Lion King

You can choose anything that means something to both of you, that is vibrant and lively or soft and serene so you can hop, skip and jump out of the venue, or glide with composure.  Just be sure to pick something that you BOTH like!  Listen to the lyrics – do they mean something to you both (the lyrics in For Once In My Life are meaningful)! Are they heartfelt and pull at the heartstrings? Are they jokingly applicable to your wicked sense of humour such as Always Look on The Bright Side of Life?

Whatever your song – it’s the first music to be played in your married life together and whenever you hear it again it will certainly put a smile on your face!
