Hi All,

Throughout the years as a New York Wedding Officiant, I am often asked about the protocols for the wedding party order.

I tell all my couple the great thing about conducting your wedding outside of a house of worship is the carte blanche you have to deviate from procedure.

With that said, the following is just a guideline for your bridal processional...


Grandparents of Groom (If Applicable)

Grandparents of Bride (If Applicable)

Groom and Best Man (Can just be assembled in the front as alternative)

Grooms's Parents (in Jewish ceremonies Groom's Parents walk groom down)

Bride's Mom (assuming just Bride's Father will be giving bride away)

Groomsmen with accompanied Bridesmaids (usually paired by height, although married couples within the Bridal Party are often paired with one another)

Junior Bridesmaid(s) (If Applicable)

Ring Bearer (If Applicable)

Flower Girl (s) (If Applicable)

Maid/Matron of Honor

Bride and her escort


I hope this post sheds some light on the procedure

Warm regards,

Keith
