Looking for some classical vocal selections for your wedding? Here are some options to consider.
Ave Maria- by Schubert is always a popular tune for weddings and something that works nicely as members of the bridal party enter.
Surely the Presence of the Lord Is In This Place- by Lanny Wolfe is also a very popular and very beautiful song that is commonly used in pre-ceremony music.
During the ceremony several “prayers” are very commonly sung. Some of my favorites and most typical are
The Lord’s Prayer- Albert Malotte
Wedding Prayer- Fern Dunlap
Bridal Prayer- Roger Copeland
These prayers are very often inserted before the exchanging of rings/vows.
Gift Of Love- Hal Hopson is also a very beautiful song that is a preferred piece to be presented as music during the ceremony.
Several of these pieces can be heard on my website.

Of course this is just the tip of the iceberg for classical selections and vocal selections in general. My advice when beginning to find things that you are passionate about having at your wedding is to go to a music store and purchase an anthology of wedding music and look over the texts and and melodies to see what moves you the most. While these selections are beautiful and common, what will make the music most memorable to you, is having music that you love.
