Wedding Advise

I used very non-traditional music in my wedding. As stated earlier, some churches have strict music guidelines. I used a contemporary gospel song by John P. Kee, "Come in the House". When I watch my video, I still get chills!!!

Before you make any decisions, check with your venue/church.

Canon in D is pretty common, as is Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. We used Canon in D because I used to play piano and it's one of my favorites.

Remember it's your wedding, though! You don't have to go traditional if you don't want to! If, say, you're a U2 fan, you could totally go with "Mysterious Ways" and it would be appropriate and fun and personal. Just a thought!

Canon in D.... It is even on most cell phone ringers... I lOVE IT! :)

I am a musician and have been the vocalist in countless weddings- there are many "traditional" songs, but a favorite for most is Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring or Sheep May Safely Graze or Air on the G String - all by Bach. You can probably find clips on these on the Internet. Good luck with your preparations. Let me know if I can help out further with the music. :)

I had my attendants walk into the church while "Trumpet Voluntary" was being played. You can find it on most CDs of traditional wedding music.

Hi, I'm still not msrried yet so I don't know but I just wanted to say congrats! I hope your day is everything you dreamed!

I used Jesu, Joy of Mans Desiring. It was beautiful. Good luck!

My Husband and I have a wedding videography business and have been to a wide variety of weddings. Sometimes churches have restrictions on the type of music used, but if you have an outdoor or non-church wedding you can typically use whatever you like. We used Enya at our wedding, and my friend used Shania Twain. We both used the wedding march for ourselves.
