Since we rocked an iTunes playlist for our music instead of a DJ, I wanted to share with y’all the complete music sets for our wedding. At the end of the series, I’ll let you know what worked, what didn’t, and if we would have done anything different in retrospect. I’ll also talk about logistics and the details of our self-emceeing!

But to get there, we have to start at the beginning. The ceremony music.

Pre-ceremony music: We started this playlist about 30 minutes before the ceremony began, so our guests would have music to listen to as they waited. Remember, all the ceremony music needed to be “fitting of a Christian worship ceremony.”

• “Praise to the Lord, The Almighty” by David Nevue
• “Simple Gifts” by Jim Brickman
• “Amazing Love (You Are My King)” by David Nevue
• “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” by David Nevue
• “Joyful” by Jim Brickman
• “How Great Thou Art” by Jim Brickman
• “Wedding Bells” by Jim Brickman
• “Words Left Unsaid” by David Nevue
• “Jesu” by Jim Brickman
• “If You Believe” by Jim Brickman

Processional:

• “Hallelujah” by Vitamin String Quartet (the Paramore cover) - for family
• “Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts - for bridal party and bride

Communion/Thanksgiving: We decided to serve communion during our ceremony instead of doing any kind of unity candle (or alternative) ceremony.

• “Your Love” by Brandon Heath

Recessional: We did get our pastor’s permission to use this!

• “Throne Room (Star Wars)” by John Williams

What music did you play/are you playing in your ceremony? Do you have any suggestions for other brides looking for Christian wedding music?
