Hymns for catholic wedding

[Stephen_says]

Hey! Looking for some ideas for the best hymns to use at a catholic wedding. Mostly we need a song during the Offertory and during Eucharist, but also any songs for the procession and recession as well, or any good resources that have a list of ideas would help!

Thanks

The parish where you are getting married should provide guidance on this, such as a list of hymns, or a book where you can choose hymns.
Parishes also have guidelines on what you are allowed to use for processional and recessional. My parish for example allowed the Wagner “Lohengrin” music (“Here Comes the Bride”). I understand some parishes do not.
I know one piece that was often used at parishes where they didn’t allow “Here Come the Bride” or the couple didn’t want that, is Purcell’s “Trumpet Voluntary”. However, your parish would need to allow it and you would need to have an instrument (trumpet or organ) capable of playing it.

“Here I am, Lord” was one of the songs from my wedding. Some other personal favorites: “You Are Mine”…“Supper of the Lord”…“One Bread One Body”…“Christ, Be Our Light” (an all time favorite). You can find them on YouTube. Some of the renditions are better than others.
