Catholic Wedding Music - Inspiration Needed!

HufflePuffin, on February 21, 2018 at 11:05 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 7

We're getting married in a Catholic church, but not having a full mass (just readings & vows, no communion). I've talked to our music director and he said for our ceremony music it just has to be either classical in nature or Christian hymns. I've already picked out our recessional, "Lord of the Dance," but I need inspo for the processional. We are not having anyone leading singing, so instrumental (specifically piano) music is preferred. I'm thinking of having a general processional song and then changing the tune for the bride walking in.

So, I'm just wondering what songs other couples used (or are planning to use) during their wedding ceremonies that fit the classical/hymn requirement. TIA!

    Canon in D is pretty popular, makes me cry every time I hear it!

    We are having a full mass:

    Seating of the Mothers: Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring

    Processional: Cannon in D

    Presentation of the Gifts: Here I Am

    Communion: On Eagle's Wings

    Reccessional: Hornpipe from Water Music and Trumpet Voluntary

    We are not getting married in a church, but we are using River Flows In You by Yiruma. It's instrumental (piano) so shouldn't be a problem to use. It's such a beautiful piece.

    I LOVE this!! I’m a musician that has been playing Canon in D so much I could do it with my eyes closed so I’m trying to find some “different” music for my Catholic ceremony. Thank you so much for mentioning it!
