Usually, there is a lot of pomp and circumstance surrounding the processional, but the recessional music should not just be a slight afterthought compared to the processional. Many people focus completely on the processional because it is about making a grand entrance and then they lose sight of the importance of the recessional. If you want a dramatic or flamboyant exit that is perfectly fine but you also need to keep in mind that the music should also be joyful and festive. A classical piece like Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” or a modern rock selection like Eric Clapton’s can both reflect the appropriate tone and emotion. You want to find a selection that fits in with your service as a whole but that still reflects your happiness and glowing demeanor after just getting married. Anything that raises the spirit would be appropriate and you also want to find a selection that will pump up your guests for the partying and fun of your reception that follows the wedding.
