CEREMONY RECESSIONAL / RECEPTION COUPLE WELCOME

These songs work for either the Recessional (Walk out) song, or the couple welcome song at the reception. Here you would like to select a song that has immediate uplifting feeling in the beginning of the song. The walk-out/ walk in only lasts a couple of seconds and then the impact is over. The rest of the song then merely serves as background.
