Top 5 Ceremony Exit Songs to Celebrate Your “Just Married” Moment
Your wedding ceremony is the heart of the day—the moment when everything changes. And after you’ve sealed it with a kiss, there’s one last piece of magic left: your exit. Whether you’re walking hand in hand back up the aisle or dancing your way out with confetti and cheers, your ceremony recessional song sets the tone for celebration.
We have over 10 years of experience in curating music for ceremonies - so we've seen it all!
Here are 5 timeless, joy-filled songs that are perfect for your grand walk-out:
⸻
1. “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” – Natalie Cole
This one’s an instant mood-lifter. From the very first upbeat piano chords, “This Will Be” radiates pure joy. Natalie Cole’s powerhouse vocals, the infectious rhythm, and lyrics that celebrate lasting love make this the ultimate feel-good song to kick off your life as a married couple. It’s soulful, sassy, and full of energy—just like a great love story.
Best for: Couples who want a bold, fun, and unforgettable exit with major “main character” vibes.

2. “All You Need is Love” – The Beatles
Classic, universal, and totally charming—this Beatles anthem is a beautiful reminder of what the day is all about. With its laid-back groove and heartfelt message, it’s perfect for couples who want a moment that feels romantic and meaningful but still playful and light.
Best for: Free-spirited duos and Beatles lovers who want their walk-out to be sweet and symbolic.

Need a song that brings the house down? Stevie’s iconic hit is bursting with soul and swagger. It’s a great way to say, “We did it!” with confidence and style. That signature horn section and punchy beat practically guarantee a standing ovation—or at least a whole lot of dancing down the aisle.
Best for: High-energy couples who want to bring the party vibes immediately after “I do.”

4. “It Must Be Love” – Madness
For a little retro charm with a quirky twist, this ska-inspired tune is an offbeat but romantic pick. It’s upbeat, a little whimsical, and full of heart—a celebration of love that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Perfect if you’re looking for a tune that’s as unique as your relationship.
