Should the processional be instrumental or have vocals?

Instrumental is safer because vocals can compete with the officiant and the guests whispering. If you want vocals, keep them soft, background-style, and end them before anyone speaks.

How do I time the song to the walk?

Plan about 30 to 45 seconds per member of the wedding party and 60 to 90 seconds for the bride. Meloro lets you request a specific build-up moment so the climax lines up with the altar.

Can we reuse the key for the recessional?

Yes. Ask Meloro to generate a recessional in the same key but upbeat, so the two pieces feel like bookends of the same story.

Processional music sets the emotional tone of the entire ceremony. The classic choice is a string arrangement at around 66 to 76 BPM, slow enough to walk unhurried and rich enough to carry the moment. Build the arrangement so the biggest swell lands when the walking party reaches the altar, roughly 90 seconds in. Keep lyrics instrumental or hum-only so officiant mics do not clash with vocals. Meloro can generate distinct cues for the officiant, wedding party, and bride, all matched in key and tempo.
