Make a Wedding Songbook
Create a beautiful printed songbook for your wedding — with ceremony hymns, reception music, and party songs all in one book. A keepsake for you and a guide for your musicians.
Why Print a Wedding Songbook?
Musicians stay in sync
Every musician — pianist, guitarist, vocalist, string quartet — follows the same book with the same arrangements in the right order.
Guests can sing along
Hand out booklets with hymn lyrics so the congregation can join in during the ceremony. No fumbling with separate hymn sheets.
A keepsake to treasure
Your wedding songbook becomes a beautiful memento — the songs that made your day, bound together in a book you'll keep forever.
Chapter Ideas for a Wedding Songbook
Organize your wedding music to match the flow of your day.
By ceremony moment
Prelude, Processional, Hymns, Signing of the Register, Recessional. Your musicians follow the ceremony in order.
Ceremony & Reception
Two main chapters — one for the ceremony, one for the reception. Simple and clear for everyone involved.
By performer
Pianist, Vocalist, String Quartet, DJ playlist. Each performer gets their section with the right arrangements.
Reception moments
First Dance, Parent Dances, Cake Cutting, Bouquet Toss, Last Dance. Time every special moment with the right song.
Congregational hymns
A dedicated section with lyrics for hymns the guests will sing. Print extra copies for the pews or ceremony chairs.
By genre or mood
Classical, Contemporary, Traditional Hymns, Love Songs. Mix genres across the day while keeping the book organized.

Tips for a Great Wedding Songbook
- Include timing notes in chapter descriptions — 'Processional starts at 2:00 PM' helps musicians stay on schedule.
- Print the guest hymn booklet as A5 — it's the perfect size to slip into a ceremony program.
- Use the Ornate divider style for a formal, elegant feel that matches most wedding aesthetics.
- Include the key and tempo in file names so musicians can prepare without extra communication.
- Print 2-3 extra copies for last-minute changes, the rehearsal dinner, or as gifts for parents.
- Create a separate 'Ceremony' version for guests (lyrics only) and a full version for musicians (with notation).
