What you really need to find out first is if they allow secular or classical music, in addition to hymns.


Then your choices depend upon whether you are just having the marriage rite, or a Mass.


Some places for ideas -

Actually, a good place to listen to bits is on youtube.





My faves for weddings - I sang The Wedding Song (Ave Maria) by Julie Rogers when my sister walked down the aisle. The lyrics and melody are just beautiful -

Other lovely songs are -


Set me like a seal on your heart - Landry


Wherever you go - Norbert


Sing a New Song - Schutte
Meet with you liturgist or wedding coordinator at the parish where you are getting married, they should be able to make some suggestions. My musican was able to meet with us, look at our readings and make suggestions. Then he would play the choices until we picked what we liked.
If you would like more answers, consider asking around this site as well...

Hi Melissa and congratulations on your upcoming wedding!





I am Catholic myself, so here are my thoughts. I agree with the other poster who said to meet with the music person (organist?/pianist?) at your church and discuss this with him/her. That is usually what is done for any church wedding (not just Catholic.)





The music person at your church will have all sorts of ideas and selections for you to pick from. If you don't know who this person is, then call the church office and speak with the secretary to get the name of the person who will be in charge of playing at your wedding.





My favorites:


Canon in D (processional)


Trumpet Voluntary (processional or recessional)


Fanfare (recessional)
