As a Palm Springs wedding officiant, here are some wedding recessional & send-off song ideas–including Spanish and country suggestions. The wedding recessional song is a fun, upbeat, celebratory song played at a somewhat higher volume after you’ve kissed at the end of the ceremony (as you walk back down the aisle to exit). The send-off song has the same high-energy vibe but is played after the Last Dance as the newlywed’s make their “Grand Exit.”
