Contemporary Wedding Songs
Having a contemporary wedding ceremony allows for the utmost freedom in choosing wedding songs. Contemporary wedding ceremonies can include traditional, classical and even pop songs as well as fun contemporary pieces at any point in the ceremony. Our favorite recent examples are the bride who walked down the aisle to John Lennon's Imagine and the couple who sang Unchained Melody (from the movie Ghost) to each other. Here are the top contemporary wedding song recommendations downloaded on our site each week.

Contemporary Wedding Processionals
We weren't surprised to see the Kenny G version of The Wedding Song at the top of this list. It's quickly becoming the new standard in wedding processionals, and will one day rival Canon in D as the go-to favorite. The O'Neill Brothers' Canon in F , with its graceful, three-four meter, is also quickly climbing the chart.

Contemporary Ceremony Songs
Solos and interlude pieces at contemporary wedding ceremonies are excellent opportunities for couples to incorporate their personality and style. Love Broadway? Include a show tune. Or how about country music? Rascal Flatts' Bless the Broken Road is now one of the most popular wedding songs of all time. Our instrumental arrangements of these top contemporary wedding songs also make great interlude music.

Contemporary Wedding Recessionals
Dance back down that aisle together as newlyweds to your favorite song anything goes as a contemporary wedding recessional piece. We know an organist who once played a couple out with a Starship song. Needless to say, that tune didn't make our list but there are many more that are perfect!

Contemporary Wedding Reception Songs
Again, just about anything is appropriate for a contemporary wedding reception. We had trouble trimming this list because there are so many favorites on it so we didn't! These instrumental arrangements make the perfect background music for cocktail hour or dinner. Many are also great first dance, father-daughter dance or mother-son dance songs, and so we've added a link to the popular contemporary version of the songs (including vocals) on Amazon.
