My friend's wedding is coming up ... I am trying to think of a really good song to sing during the ceremony ... any ideas?
What is a really good wedding song to sing in a Catholic church?
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
Reply:You should speak with the priest before deciding on a song. Most Catholic priests only allow religious music to be played and sung at the ceremony. The priest that officiated at my Catholic wedding a month ago was fairly liberal with music selections and I had a couple of songs sang - Wind Beneath My Wings and The Rose. I don't think The Rose is a religious song, but he allowed it. It was really pretty. We had it sung while we lit the unity candle and did the sign of peace.

Reply:You would have to ask their priest what music is allowed. Many churches, especially Catholic, only allow religious music, and even then it must be out of their hymnal, not contemporary religious music.
Reply:If you scroll down through this church's webpage, you will see a list of songs for particular parts of the wedding ceremony and mass. Hope this helps.
