The Perfect Irish Wedding Songs For Every Magic Moment

22nd November 2021

by Semrah


Weddings are full of magic moments. Walking down the aisle, toasting to the bride and groom, and signing the wedding guest book are all magic moments that can be heightened with Irish and Celtic songs.

Traditional Irish instruments coupled with folk songs that have been passed from generation to generation can create a serene and mystical atmosphere. Your wedding is sure to be special if you choose the right Irish wedding songs for the right moment.

We’re helping you pick the perfect pairing of Irish songs and memorable moments, so that you can make your wedding day extra special. Here are some of the best Irish wedding songs for those special moments:

 

Irish songs to prepare for the wedding

Perhaps you meet for a few tipples before the couple walk down the aisle, or maybe you’re getting ready with the bridal party. Those moments before the church are full of anticipation and excitement. These are some of the most beautiful Irish songs to take you to the altar:

Carolan's Concerto

Down by the Salley Gardens 

Dúlamán 

For the beauty of the Earth - John Rutter

Mari’s Wedding - Noel McLoughlin. 

 

Mari’s Wedding is particularly emotive, conjuring up images of stunning Irish scenery with the lyrics:

 

“Step we gaily on we go

Heel for heel and toe for toe

Arm in arm and on we go

All for Mairi's Wedding

Over hills and up and down

Myrtle green and bracken brown

Past the shieling through the town

All for sake of Mairi”.

 

Irish wedding songs to walk down the aisle to

 

Is there a more powerful wedding moment than walking down the aisle?

If you’d prefer to use a traditional Irish wedding song as opposed to the classic "Bridal Chorus" by German composer Richard Wagner, then these are the more traditional songs that are suited to walking down the aisle:

My Lagan Love (beautiful on harp)

Carolan's Concerto (on harp)

She Moves Through the Fair. This is a haunting, beautiful song that mentions walking down the aisle.

Midnight Walker - Uilleann Pipes

 

Irish wedding ceremony music

Similarly, traditional Irish wedding songs are well suited to the procession. Listen to:

 

The Rose of Mooncoin

To Kingdom Come

Wild Mountain

Uilleann Pipes or Celtic Harp music

Si Bheag Si Mor

 


Irish wedding church songs

At a traditional Irish wedding, the songs played in the church will be hymns. Some of the most beautiful Irish hymns that can be played on the organ are:

All things bright and beautiful

Christ the lord has risen today

Be thou my vision

King of love my shepherd is

Morning has broken

Saviour of the world

Gaelic blessing: This John Rutter modern classic is particularly beautiful at weddings, featuring the lyrics:

 

“Deep peace of the running wave to you

Deep peace of the flowing air to you

Deep peace of the quiet earth to you

Deep peace of the shining stars to you

Deep peace of the gentle night to you

Moon and stars pour their healing light on you

Deep peace of Christ the light of the world to you

Deep peace of Christ to you”.

 

Irish father daughter speech wedding songs

The father of the bride will often make a speech at a traditional wedding. This can be a very emotional moment as the father of the bride sends his blessings to the happy couple. Some of the most beautiful Irish wedding songs for this moment are:

 

Give Me Your Hand

Be Thou my Vision

Blessing, by Katie Moran Bart

 

Irish father daughter dance wedding songs

The father-daughter dance can be made even more special with a traditional Irish song. Take a look at these classics if you’d like an Irish song for the father-daughter dance.

 

When Irish eyes are smiling - Joni James

Daughter of mine - John McDermott 

A beautiful wedding song that won’t leave a dry eye in the house. With lyrics that are perfectly apt:

“Dance with me daughter of mine

On this your wedding day

Dance with me daughter of mine

You'll soon be going away

I loved you since you first began

Now you've found a new man

But I love you so, and this you must know

That my love won't falter

So dance with me daughter

Beautiful daughter of mine”.

 

Irish wedding songs for the party

 

Moving away from tradition and towards the songs that people can boogie to, there are some great Irish songs that should be on any DJs playlist at an Irish wedding. These include:

Galway Girl - Ed Sheeran

Brown Eyed Girl - Van Morrisson

Lewis Bridal Song (Mairi's Wedding) - The Irish Rovers

Come On Eileen - Dexy’s Midnight Runners

Have I Told You Lately - Van Morrison

C’est la vie - Bewitched

Breathless - The Corrs

Beautiful Day - U2


Best folk songs for Irish weddings

 

Folk songs hold a special place in any Irish person’s heart, and add a haunting and timeless touch. Some of the most popular songs include:

Raglan road

My lovely Irish rose of Clare

The star of the county down

Sweethearts in the Spring

I know my love 

 

Celtic wedding songs when the party’s over

The Parting Glass

Honeymoon in Ireland

The secret wedding (theme from Braveheart)

Celtic wedding march

Amhrán na bhFiann

 

There’s always room for one or two Irish songs on your wedding day. They can make such a beautiful statement, and honour your ancestry at the same time.

But Irish wedding songs aren’t the only way to add a touch to your wedding, there are plenty of Irish traditions and customs to choose from.
