Hymns
If you are getting married in a church, it is usual to have one or more hymns, which your guests are invited to join in singing. Hymns can really add to the atmosphere and beauty of a church wedding and they give your guests a chance to join in! There are many very beautiful hymns, but if you are not a regular church attender you may not know how to find them.For this reason I have compiled a list of popular hymns for weddings in various Christian denominations, as well as my own personal favourites. Where possible, I have provided links to the lyrics and audio or video of the hymn.

Online Hymn Databases
There are several internet databases of hymns, where you could search for a particular hymn that isn't in my short list of suggestions, or simply listen to a wider range of hymns. These are very useful websites, and most entries contain the hymn's text (lyrics), a midi sound recording, and information about this hymn's origins and history.Return to Main Weddings Page
