Catholic Wedding Songs

Religious ceremonies are actions that are performed with gestures and words accompanied by prayers as divine worshipping, prayers that in their turn come with lights, blessings, incense, and many other customs that are included in the specific religious service. One of these is considered to be also the catholic ceremony that is performed inside a wedding celebration. The religious service in this respect accomplishes the twofold nature of the human being, both from the spiritual point of view (paying God the adoration one has inside his nature) and the corporal point of view which is the manifestation of gestures of making the cross sign, lighting the incense and kneeling while praying.

Inside a wedding ceremonial, catholic worshipers perform every detail that is dictated by the religious officiant who leads the specific services. Many of the gestures incorporated in the sermon are similar to the ones performed during the Sunday preaching; therefore the catholic worshipers are more familiarized with the procedure. There are somehow events that take place inside a religious ceremony which belong specifically to the given moment, and as such music is the one that accompanies the evolution of each spiritual happening and corporal gestures.


Catholic weddings follow a procedure that is thoroughly rehearsed few days prior to the wedding celebration. In this way every character involved in the catholic staging of the ceremonial knows what is there to do in order the events to be accurately displayed. In this way, the priest will be ensured that his service is run accordingly going by the word of the wedding ceremony book.  And as such we meet inside a catholic wedding ceremonial the displaying of prelude when every guest is invited to step inside the church and have their seat. For each moment there are specific Catholic wedding songs chosen to be performed during the unfolding of the ceremonial. And as such you can choose one of the following for the unfolding of the prelude moment: Schubert’s “Ave Maria”, Bernstein’s “One hand, one heart”, or Mozart’s “Laudate Dominum”.



For the processional, when the bride is ready to step inside and walk down the aisle accompanied by her father, one of the following Catholic wedding songs could be selected in the displaying of the bridal entrance: Wagner’s “Bridal March”, Pachelbel’s Canon in D, Clarke’s “Trumpet Voluntary”, Handel’s “Water Music” with its allegro moderato part. There are also religious readings during the sermon, reading accompanied by choices of songs which the priest will indicate to the gathering; some of them could be: “Here I am Lord”, “Hear us and now, our God and Father”. A Catholic wedding planner would help you very much because they know very well all these songs.



For the recessional part, when the guests and the newly weds prepare to exit the church’s hall, choices to belong to the following composers could be revised and chosen from with the help of the church’s MC: Beethoven’s “Joyful, joyful we adore you”, Mouret’s “Rondeau”, Mendelssohn’s “Wedding March”, and many other songs that could be as well indicated by the religious face chosen to run the service of your wedding ceremony.
