Song Recommendations for Contemporary Catholic Weddings

When I was first starting out as a worship leader, I would often get asked to play at weddings. It usually came from a young woman (or her mum) who had heard me play at her parish and fancied a more contemporary tone to the musical aspect of liturgy at her wedding, rather than the more traditional organ/cantor instrumentation.

I have compiled a list of songs that have been well received at contemporary weddings, especially for Catholic couples. These songs are both relevant to the sacramental union being celebrated and acceptable for the liturgy surrounding it.
