Modern, Upbeat
Recessional Wedding Songs

If you tired of lists of traditional, classical recessional wedding songs, then maybe something more modern and upbeat is just what you are looking for. Something less boring and more celebratory!

The list below contains some more modern (as in not classical or traditional), upbeat recessional wedding songs for your walk back down the aisle as a newly married couple.

This is a time for celebrating the fact that you are married as your guests shower you with confetti, bubbles and joy, and the song you choose for this moment should reflect that joy.

Below Itunes widget (where you can listen to the songs) there is also a list of the songs.

If you want to use any of these songs (or any other song for that matter) for your wedding, I would recommend downloading it from a legitimate site like Amazon MP3 or Itunes (you can do so directly from the widget above).

Downloading from torrents or other sources is unreliable as you are never sure of the sound quality or the version that they offer (not to mention viruses). For important moments in your wedding it is always better to have copies of the songs on hand on the wedding day as you never know. Perhaps the DJ's copy does not work, or is the wrong version, or the band forget their sheet music.

If you don't want to use Itunes, you can also search for your wedding music on the Amazon MP3 store:
