Nothing better to represent feelings than songs. Nowadays, religious ceremonies are no stranger to romantic and fashionable themes and there is the possibility to make a triumphal entrance and show off your wedding dress, accompanied by a wonderful song.

Although the traditional religious songs are generally listened to, it is also allowed to play a repertoire of songs that the bride and groom feel, identify them completely. The posture of the wedding rings or the reading of beautiful phrases of love in the wedding vows indicates that every song has its moment and every moment its song, and that is why choosing songs is a good idea.goes beyond what a religious choir can offer, but rather, this choice is important and meaningful to each couple.

From pop songs, rock songs, ballads, to the most classic religious songs, perhaps with some adjustments, are allowed in church ceremonies. What song makes you feel like it was composed especially for you? Surely there is more than one that meets that requirement. If you haven't found it yet, don't worry, you're about to do so.

Below, we have 30 songs that you can use for church weddings and for brides and grooms who have not yet found a repertoire that identifies them. We invite you to take some time, relax for a while and choose the songs you like the most. There are songs for all styles and tastes of couples. We hope you tell us which ones you have chosen!
