Ceremony Music Ideas

Many churches have restrictions where you are only allowed to play hymns or contemporary Christian music. Check with them to see what is allowed. But if she is open to modern music then you may not have restrictions, but confirm first with the church before looking for alternative music.


If you are able to use anything, do a search on Pinterest or YouTube for wedding ceremony music and see what you both like.

View Quoted Comment Love this! Thank you for sharing!

View Quoted Comment Daniel Jang’s violin cover is what made me really like an instrumental version of “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” and then when my mom said it was one of my grandparents’ favorite songs I knew I’d want to include it in some way.

Honestly, picking the ceremony music was the hardest part for me. I just kept googling songs until I found ones that I really liked and felt would work for our ceremony. I love that you chose "Can't Help Falling in Love".

My bridal party walked to an instrumental version of Van Morrison's Crazy Love https://youtu.be/NvdqykDerVU. I walked to a cello version of Ed Sherran's Thinking Out Loud https://youtu.be/fHNgOlHA8wQ.

Picking music was one of the harder parts of wedding planning for me. We did ain’t no mountain high enough for our recessional and it was good except the DJ didn’t start playing it til we were 1/3 down the aisle already!

I think I’m going to walk down the aisle to Unchained Melody. A fun song I’m thinking of before is Montero by Vitamin String Quartet.

Thanks Cece!! I just bookmarked that website.

I love these forums!!

View Quoted Comment Yes! Me too!! I love that we can all share resources with one another!!

OMG!!!!! I love "Cant Help Falling in Love With You" That's the song I want to walk down the aisle to but the Kina Grannis version from "Rich Crazy Asians". Venue is going to let FH walk down to a song as well but I'm going to let him decide his song. As for the attendants it will be "Faded into You" from the Nashville soundtrack by Scarlett O'Connor & Gunnar Scott, but as for the candle unity part and the exit not sure lol.
