Fun Facts
Christian wedding songs are very appropriate during a wedding ceremony. Christian songs are very commonplace during the unity ceremony, processional, recessional, and other activities encompassed in the wedding ceremony.
The wedding ceremony is when a couple professes their faith to one another before the Lord. Special Christian wedding songs can help signify the meaning of certain activities during a wedding ceremony in song. In addition, Christian songs can help portray the love for each other, the remembrance of a loved one, or a couple’s profession of faith.
Also popular during a wedding ceremony is playing Christian hymns. Christian hymns include Amazing Grace, All Things Bright & Beautiful, and Love Divine, All Things Excelling.
A good Christian song for a wedding has lyrics that describe your love for each other and supports your Christian faith. The perfect song choice is “One + One” by Lawson Bates featuring Olivia Collingsworth.
Music is music. What makes a song Christian is the lyrics, not the style or genre of the music. Our best Christian wedding songs come from several genres including rock, jazz, and country.
Songs can be considered Christian without being sung by a categorized Christian artist. For example, a country artist like Carrie Underwood can sing a song that is both country and Christian. Her song, “Jesus Take The Wheel” is a good example.
Many categorized Christian artists have been accepted in mainstream radio.
Christian songs are appropriate for all the formal dances and cutting of the wedding cake. If so desired, Christian music can play during the wedding ceremony and reception. It is the bride and groom’s wedding and it is up to them as to the type of music they desire to have played at their wedding.
