But in reality, you can have whatever you want. the priest might object if you played any mp3 of any song but as long as its hymnal in tone he should be ok with it. If theres a particular song you want Id suggest getting a well recorded youtube acoustic version from someone. Lots out there. you can rip yt vids to mp3 on numerous sites. dont take "bedroom mic recorded" versions though.

Thank you.. Great site and got most of what we wanted.. With the exception of the entrance music as its not on iTunes... We've been lucky with the priest as he's family...

send me a pm with an email address of a tune you want.

This album has some nice instrumental wedding hymns. "The King Of Love My Shepherd Is" is one of my favorites and a beautiful setting of the 23rd Psalm. The site is Bandcamp and they allow you to listen to the whole tune before purchasing.

Did you decide on your entrance music yet? If not I would have some suggestions, I've played a lot of weddings.

Got the music the boss wanted and it was on iTunes after all... While watching some useless movie the other night against my wishes I continued to watch it/ left it on the tele.. Next thing I know she's nearly leaping out of her chair shouting that's it that's the music I want... Thank god for Shazam and rewind on the tv we got the music... Thanks to all for your contributions..

Just curious - what did she choose for her processional?

Eventually, canon in D.
It was the music used in the ross/Emily wedding scene in friends... Can't think of its name but not many were overly keen on it...
