Ceremony Processional song at a Catholic Church

Melissa , on June 20, 2019 at 9:52 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 3

Hi there -

this is my first post, but I am writing this because I booked my Church where I am going to get married. It is in a catholic church and I reached out to the admin to see if it were possible if my processional song was "Turning Page" by sleeping at last. I am super nervous because most catholic churches will not allow secular music to be played, because it is a place of worship. The music admin did reach back to me and he said they only have an Organ, not a piano but that song would be beautifully played on a violin. I am nervous because it is mainly piano, I was wondering if there were any musicians who can confirm that it would sound horrible on an organ, or if you have tips on how to make that song graceful still on one. I have zero musical talent so please forgive my complete lack of knowledge.

Thank you in advance!

    First off, I am so thrilled to see that someone else is using Sleeping at Last - I was convinced I was the only person on earth who knew who they were! HA! (We used their cover of "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic") Sleeping at Last is a super "string friendly" band - I have heard a few of their songs taken from piano to a string trio or quartet and they always turn out GORGEOUS. I think if you find a violinist who knows how to work it, it will BE GORGEOUS!

    Oh my goodness, their music is so amazing. As soon as I heard that song like however many years ago I knew I would walk down the aisle to it. And I’m going to have to speak to the music admin about it more, I think it’s more money but it’s 1000% worth it to be able to walk down the aisle to that song 😭❤️ Thank you for your advice!

    Hey Melissa! Congratulations on securing your church for your wedding! That’s another big step checked off your to-do list!

    Welcome to the WeddingWire community!

    I was not familiar with the song you were talking about, but I looked it up and it is absolutely beautiful! I think it a perfect song to walk down the aisle to and I’m so happy that you can use it!

    If you are still unsure about how it will sound played on string instruments, you should definitely look it up on YouTube! I came across a number of musicians covering the song on violins! It might give you a better idea of what it will sound like!
