Need music suggestions

We're planning out the music for our ceremony. We're stuck on finding songs for the Offertory and the Communion Hymn. For the Communion I really like How Beautiful by Twila Paris, but FI isn't crazy about it. Another choice I really like is On Eagles Wings. I want something that's a little upbeat, cheery, and prefer not to go with a classical piece like Panis Angelicus because the Ceremony is already filled with classical songs. What are you using/did you use for the Offertory and Communion?

    I was in a similar position to you.  I like more traditional music but my FI wanted some more modern, upbeat songs.  We worked with our church's music coordinator and chose a combination of both.

    For the offertory we are using an instrumental song, The Wedding Song by Kenny G.  For the communion hymn, we are using In Remembrance of You.

    For Offertory we used something instrumental (not sure what) and for Communion my niece sang Liam Lawton's When This Day is Done with piano.

    We are also doing the Prayer of St. Francis for the offertory and for communion we are doing On Eagles Wings (this was my grandma's favorite song so it's kind of a tribute to her since she is no longer with us).
