Should I Use a Congregational Hymn in My Wedding?

Congregational hymns are used in about one out of every three weddings.

A wedding is really a service of worship and the singing of a congregational hymn is a great way to involved everyone in the ceremony. An excellent place to sing a congregational hymn is right after the processional and opening invocation while everyone is still on a euphoric mood from the processional. The hymn is not only a powerful way to worship God but is also symbolic and affirming that everyone there is willing to support the couple in whatever ways possible. Hymns work best when there are at least 75 or more people in attendance. All the stanzas of a hymn do not need to be sung but you can choose two or more stanzas that would be most pertinent for your wedding. If you already have instruments at your wedding such as a trumpet or strings, you can also add them to the organ or piano.
