Best Christian Wedding Songs UK: 55 Worship Songs for Weddings That Celebrate Love & Faith

Remember, you won’t be able to play anything that has religious connotations at a civil ceremony, and you will need to provide your song choices ahead of time for your officiant to vet.

Note that there may be rules around religious ceremonies, too. When it comes to your wedding church songs, you may be asked to provide a list of your choices before the event, as some religious venues can be quite strict.

Christian Wedding Songs FAQ

How to choose the right Christian wedding song 

Much like choosing any music for your ceremony or reception there are a few things to consider.

Firstly, think about your journey together and what kind of song might reflect that. Do you want something that's upbeat and fun or a song that's more reflective? You'll also want to consider the different moments in your wedding day.

Your first dance song could be a more personal, sentimental song that you love as a couple, whereas you might want something more joyful and uplifting to walk out to as you exit the church. 

What are traditional Christian wedding songs?

We’ve got a selection of traditional Christian wedding songs to be inspired by, including some of the most well-loved Christian church hymns as listed by the Church of England.

Can I mix modern and traditional Christian songs at my wedding? 

Absolutely! The beauty of your special day is that you can do whatever you want to reflect yourselves as a couple and mixing traditional and modern songs is a great way to do that.

Traditional songs tend to bring a sense of sacredness and nostalgia, whereas modern songs can be more expressive. To tie things together you could consider picking a general theme such as God's love or grace and choose your transition songs carefully, so the tone flows naturally. 

There are many ways to celebrate your faith as you tie the knot, and picking the perfect Christian songs is just one of them.
