Choosing songs in the church for your wedding is one of the biggest decisions when planning your ceremony. Music helps set the mood in the church and gives the ceremony a personal and romantic setting that brings people closer together. At Limunt, we work with wedding music in the church every day, and we help couples find both classic and modern wedding songs that create an unforgettable experience.
Popular songs in church for weddings
Many brides and grooms choose songs that create a warm and intimate atmosphere from the first note. The most popular choices are often love songs with beautiful melodies and lyrics that touch both you and your guests.
Examples of favourite picks:
- Quick hands
- Hallelujah in a romantic version
- Bright nights
- A Thousand Years
These songs are often chosen because they work beautifully in the church space and can be adapted to a soloist or small ensemble.
Classic songs for church weddings
Classical music creates a timeless and solemn atmosphere. Many choose classical pieces because they fit perfectly with the acoustic church space and emphasise the traditions surrounding the ceremony.
Classic examples:
- Hail Mary
- Panis Angelicus
- Air by Bach
- Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring
Classic songs add elegance and a calmness to the ceremony that many couples appreciate.
Modern love songs for the wedding ceremony
Modern music in the church is more prevalent than ever. It allows you to put your own unique stamp on the ceremony and create a moment that feels completely personalised.
Modern suggestions:
- Perfect
- Shallow in a fun version
- All of me
- Make you feel my love
These songs work particularly well when a professional singer interprets them in a softer version, giving them a beautiful and subdued feel.
How to choose the right songs
The best way to choose music for your wedding ceremony is to start with your personality as a couple. Think about the mood you want and what characterises you. Should it be romantic and gentle or festive and crazy?
At the same time, consider how the lyrics fit into the ceremony. The right interpretation can turn even a simple song into a powerful moment.
It can also be an advantage to choose a combination of both classical and modern music. That way, you'll have both traditions and personality elegantly woven together.
Soloist, organist or both
You can choose to use only the church organist if you want a more traditional ceremony. However, many couples choose a singer or musician from Limunt because a live rendition of your favourite songs gives the ceremony more personality and adds character to the room. A combination of organist and soloist can also be a beautiful choice and allows for a varied musical expression.

The most frequently asked questions for us!
The name Limunt originated as a contraction of the words Tove Music Entertainment. We have booked music since 2016 through the concepts Jazzkollektivet, Popkollektivet, Strygerkollektivet etc., but decided in 2022 to bring the activity under Limunt and create a better coherence and clarity of our many different offers.
We handpick our musicians from the great Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and German talent pool. In the administration, we all have a background as professional musicians in a wide range of genres. Through our large network, the Danish conservatories, jam sessions throughout the country and by constantly keeping a finger on the pulse of the Danish music scene, we can ensure a high level every time. We make a virtue of onboarding each individual musician so that expectations are aligned from the start. The musicians should do what they do best: play great music - then Limunt handles all the administration around each performance.
Payment will fall after your event. You will receive an invoice from our administration.
In most cases, it is possible to extend the playing time if you do not want the music to stop at the agreed time. However, as we only book professional musicians, there may be circumstances where this is not possible, for example if the musicians have another job later in the day, have an early job the next day or a voice that can't cope any longer. If you want to make sure you have the option to book an extra set of music on the day, we recommend that you arrange this with your Limunt contact so that both you and the musicians are aware of the option.
The prices we quote are in most cases inclusive of transport (to land bridges), VAT and engineering (up to 100 people).
We customise each specific offer - booking everything from a single solo musician playing a single song to live music over several days for larger events. Try our price calculator or contact us for a no-obligation quote.
We provide substitutes in case of illness, so you don't lose the music for your event. We have built up good procedures with our many musicians and have an action plan in case of illness. Our large catalogue of musicians means that in almost all cases we can find a talented replacement in a very short time.
It's hard to give a clear answer, as we book solo musicians, traditional party bands and full orchestras of 9-10 people. A traditional band of 3-5 people should have at least 3×4 meters to stand on. A solo musician can manage on 3×2 meters. However, there are many factors that come into play when it comes to space - so it's best to have a chat with your Limunt contact. A concrete example where the above rule does not quite apply is when booking a party band: here we at Limunt always recommend placing the music in the same room as the bar, as this way you gather the activity and the party in one place - and get more people on the dance floor! If there are not quite 3×4 meters to stand on, we still recommend placing the band at the bar, even if the musicians need to sit a little close, to ensure the good party!
Typically in sets of either 2 x 45 minutes or 3 x 45 minutes. But it all depends on the function of the music: whether it's background music, a beautiful feature or party music to get the party started. We provide everything from a single heartfelt song for the wedding to music for 10 hours during a larger event.
You are always welcome to make suggestions for the repertoire - that way we get to know your taste and try to include everything possible. However, we cannot guarantee to fulfil all your wishes. We are often in dialogue with customers who are very unsure about the repertoire - and we are here to help. By booking more than 500 jobs annually, we know what works for different events. Our professional musicians are also good at reading the audience on the day, which means that changes can be made to the setlist during the performance.
When booking an event with 1-3 songs for e.g. a wedding, we take a dialogue about what is possible - and in most cases we can meet your wishes.
The jazz concept Jazzkollektivet was what started it all in 2016. Then followed Popkollektivet, Strygerkollektivet etc. In 2022 we decided to bring all our concepts and booking together on this new site!
