Processional (ceremony)

A processional in a ceremony refers to the formal, organized movement of participants entering or exiting an event space. It typically involves a predetermined sequence of individuals, such as bridal parties, officials, or performers, walking in a specific order, often accompanied by music or a designated pathway. The processional sets a respectful and official tone, marking the beginning or end of a ceremony like a wedding, graduation, or parade. Its purpose is to create a sense of occasion, highlight important moments, and guide attendees smoothly through the event’s progression.
