A Guide to Christian Wedding Music for Faithful Couples

As an experienced wedding DJ, I’ve assembled a list of Christian wedding songs. Songs are selected by the meaning of the song, wedding moments, and popular hits by today’s couples.

When it comes to a church wedding, it seems obvious to choose Christian wedding songs. But what about the wedding reception?

Of course, you can choose Christian songs for your wedding party; they’re not just for the ceremony. Discover popular Christian wedding songs to incorporate into your wedding day.
