Christian Songs for Wedding Reception

chicagomomab · January 2012

I know that people vary on whether there should be music and/or dancing at a Christian wedding reception, but we have decided to have music at the reception and I would like to include some upbeat contemporary Christian songs. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

All star United is my all time favorite Christian band. Most of their songs are upbeat and fun, swing type songs.

What genre do you like? Christian Rock, Christian Rap, etc...?

If you want people to get up and dance, I am a big fan of Tobymac! If you like Christian rap, Lecrae is the best, IMO. Francesca Battistelli is fun (love her!), but not really dance-y. It depends on your style.

Im totally stealing some of those songs....I dont listen to much christian music, but know that my family would appriciate it, I had already planned on using the Brandon Heath -love never fails, possibly during the ceremony or first dance....but im still trying to figure out where to use this song:

(in case you recognize it its not christian, but its about life long commitment and is in Zorro)

Here's some Christian DANCE music:

"Dance[!]" - David Crowder*Band

"Shine" - Krystal Meyer

"Mighty to Save (Family Force 5 Remix)" - Newsboys

"1 2 3 Praise" - Virtue

"Here We Go," "Ooh Ah," etc. - G.R.I.T.S.

Plumb has several dance tracks and remixes of normal tracks. (My favorites are some of the "Cut" and "In My Arms" remixes.)

Pretty much anything by Family Force 5

Pretty much anything from the Sunsets and Sushi EP by David Crowder"Band
