Help!! Catholic wedding music

Abby, 14 January, 2024 at 22:11 Posted on Planning 0 2
Hello,
Me and my fiancé decided to get married in a Catholic Church and I have recently been researching all my suppliers , including singers. In my vision I will have a singer during the ceremony (majority of packages include 20mins while your guests enter and are waiting, 1 walk down the aisle, 2 signing the register, 1 exit song) all appropriate songs of course. but it has suddenly dawned on me that I won’t be able to do this in the church and they will require me to only have religious music. To be totally honest the only song I care about is the one I walk down The aisle to - for YEARS I have pictured a particular song to walk to and are they not going to allow it?! It is obviously an appropriate song but after reading a few other forums , it has to be an actual religious song… btw I totally get that music during the wedding itself will be hymms- it is purely the aisle song I have now become stressed about as I don’t want a dull song for this please anyone who has married in a Catholic Church advise !! (Btw I do know I will need to contact the church to confirm with them individually but I would like to hear other experiences) thank you!!!!

    I would just contact the church directly - churches vary widely in what they will and will not allow music-wise during a ceremony, so even if other people have been able to have a song similar to the one you want, that won't affect the likelihood of your particular church allowing it.

    I'd contact them as soon as possible so that you know either way. If they're not happy to have you enter to a lyric version of the song, would they consider instrumental only? If you're not allowed to have the song you want, perhaps you could enter your reception to it? The earlier you know what is permitted, the earlier you can start planning how to deal with any limitations.

    Hello thanks so much for your reply it’s really helpful. I have chosen to hire some musicians that will be playing instrumental versions of some suitable songs that we like!
