Anyone Have Any Music Suggestions For Modern Wedding Music?
Filed in Category - Modern Hymns
I’m a church organist/pianist, employed by an Episcopal church, and have been commissioned to play a wedding this fall. The conundrum I have is that the bride and groom want only modern music, no hymns at all, for the entire service, as well as before and after. The groom is a fan of classic rock, and also said to think in the spirit of Coldplay ballads, which would be helpful if I listened to them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Wow…you have your work cut out for you. I don’t envy you.
You can try these sites for suggestions, though you will have to find the music itself elsewhere:http://www.wedalert.com/songs/reception/…http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-plann…

Some standards for weddings:
“Open Arms” – Journey
“Babe” – Styx
“Everything I Do (I Do For You)” – Bryan Adams
“Faithfully” – Journey
“I Don’t Want to Live Without You” – Foreigner
“Love of a Lifetime” – Firehouse
“My Heart Will Go On” – Celine Dion
“Power of Love” – Celine Dion
“You Raise Me Up” – Josh Groban
“Love Song” – Tesla
“Wind Beneath My Wings” – Bette Midler
“You’re the Inspiration” – Chicago
“Landslide” – Fleetwood Mac
“Angel Eyes” – Jeff Healey Band
“Wonderful Tonight” – Eric Clapton
& (believe it or not) “Stairway to Heaven” – Led Zeppelin
If they truly like classical rock, they won’t object to these songs. My suggestion, however, is get the bride and groom to provide you with a list of songs they want to hear. You might also check with the minister and see if he has any suggestions for you.
Good luck and God bless.
