As a general idea the wedding is all about the grooms and their preferences. The way they do the things is the reflection of their style, the intention of a story, of a theme to be to be contoured. But in a way not only what they like is a coordinate for the wedding planning.
For example the wedding music: if for the party time they are free to have any type of music play list at the ceremony things change. The priests are the leading persons.
Indeed the opinions among priests may vary each one having another perception and judgment. But in fact they all think alike, with the difference that in some cases they are flexible in their decision. It sounds a little bit drastic but so are things. What you choose as music type and the whole list of songs has to pass through their filter. Catholic parish wedding music guideline is the description of your situation now. It is not like you will sit at the round table along with the priests and discuss this subject but you need to ask a few things. What they will point you has to be your strict rule. For example during the ceremony itself no modern music is allowed. They come with arguments related to the purpose, to the meaning of the ceremony so to be an encomium to God. After all priests have to officiate the marriage in the sacred unity. And to use music with no purpose in they way will be inappropriate.
But the Catholic parish wedding music guideline may be in agreement for you to use some songs part of a modern category for various moments. For example the entrance of the bride or/and the exit of the grooms. For the rest of the event nothing else but religious themed songs are the option.
