Hey Gals!I need some help with ceremony music. I need prelude and processional along with recessional It is in a Catholic Church but I would still like to be contemporary with the music. Please give me some ideas! Thanks!!!

Check with the church before deciding on any music, alot of churches (espeically Catholic ones) have restrictions on that type of thing...We're going pretty traditional with our ceremony music. I love Cannon in D, Trumpet Voluntary (my favorite), and Ode to Joy. I'm not sure which will be used for what!

Ditto Gina.  Check with the Church first! Our Church gave us a CD to select music from.

If the church is up for anything...then it really depends on your style....Classic would be to stick with things like Canon in D, Butterfly Waltz, Bridal march, etc. We are doing different stuff though....we are using Vitamin String Quartet songs for most of ours....so it's all renditions of rock-ish music done by a string quartet....example: Welcome to the Jungle....Don't Stop believing....All I want is you by U2...these are all songs we are thinking about using.... Another song that is very lovely is "I cant help falling in love with you" sung by Ingrid Michaelson....also, "Somewhere over the rainbow" sung by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (lord I hope I spelled that right....) HTH!
