My friend's wedding is coming up ... I am trying to think of a really good song to sing during the ceremony ... any ideas?
Hi. Have your friend check with the organist at the church. The organist will be able to help her with selections. I am Catholic, myself, but usually at weddings, the guests do NOT sing. Usually their is an organist or a pianist that simply plays OR there is a soloist or vocalists. Anyway, if your friend does want hymns, here are some:
Here I Am Lord
Hear Us Now, Our God and Father
The Wedding Song - annon.
The Gift of Love - arr. Hopson
The Bridal Prayer -Roger Copeland
All I Ask of You - Weston Priory
I Have Loved You - Joncas
Prayer of St. Francis – Sebastian Temple
Servant Song - McGarill
Set Your Heart on the Higher Gifts - Warner
The Irish Wedding Song - trad.
The Lord is Kind and Merciful - Haugen
Where There Is Love - David Haas
Wherever You Go - Weston Priory
With This Ring - Copeland
Taste and See - Moore
I Have Loved You
Laudate Dominum - Mozart
City of God - Schutte
Joyful, Joyful We Adore You - Hymn, Beethoven
Ode to Joy - Beethoven
I have a friend who is getting married in October. We are trying to help her pick out songs to be played while in the Church. It will be a Catholic wedding. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Pachabel Canon is always hit, just make sure you screen what goes in the player or to the DJ, At my Uncles wedding, they ended Blasting System of a down , Profanity and all, it was the best moment, in my opinion, embarassing for my Uncle im sure.
We're getting married in a Catholic Church and are hiring a guitartist to play but I just heard somewhere that he can only play religious music. Does anyone know if this is true because I was hoping to choose a song that I know and have him perform it as I walk down... :|
Mostly.
You parish should provide you with guidelines for your music selections.

Question about Wedding Music? :Wedding Questions.net
Here Comes the Bride is not set in stone, even in a Catholic church. I believe there are restrictions on some kinds of secular music, but even Here Comes the Bride is actually a secular tune, since it was written for Richard Wagner’s opera Lohengrin. The most commonly used music for the recessional also comes from an opera, Mendelsohn’s opera of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Both were written late in the nineteenth century, and thus are not that long-standing as traditions go.
But there are many churches that allow a wider selection of secular music, and many couples who are not marrying in a church, or even using a clergyperson.
So, yes, there are a lot of brides walking up the aisle to something other than Wagner. Me? I was lead up the aisle by a bagpiper who played a lovely traditional Scottish tune called Highland Wedding. Pachelbel’s Canon in D has been a very popular tune for wedding processionals for the last thirty or forty years. JS Bach’s Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, and Purcell’s Trumpet Voluntary are also popular, as are a wide variety of hymns and classical pieces.
