Catholic wedding music is music that is appropriate for a Catholic ceremony and is approved by most churches. It is important to remember, however, that each parish is different and some may have more restrictions on music than others. Always consult your priest and the musical director before assuming that any piece of music will be allowed at your Catholic wedding ceremony. Below are several suggested songs for each part of the Catholic ceremony. Although some of the songs listed are secular in nature, remember that in many parishes, secular music is not allowed- so check with your priest!
