Wedding bells are ringing, and guess who’s been asked to lead worship? That’s right, you! But before you break into a cold sweat, take a deep breath. This article is your go-to guide for navigating the beautiful (and sometimes tricky) world of wedding worship. Trust me, with these tips, you’ll be hitting all the right notes – literally and figuratively.

By diving into this wedding worship wisdom, you’ll learn:

• Why a wedding isn’t just another Sunday service (and why that matters for your song choices)
• How to avoid the dreaded “worship leader takeover” syndrome on the couple’s big day
• The secret to choosing instruments that won’t clash with Aunt Mildred’s hat or the bride’s dress
• Why spontaneity might be your worst enemy (sorry, improv lovers!)
• How to strike the perfect balance between “Jesus Loves Me” and “Highway to Hell” in your song selection
• The art of decoding couple-speak when they say “just pick whatever songs you want”
• Why that dusty 1915 sound board might be your new best friend (or worst nightmare)
• How to make both the newlyweds and Great-Grandpa Joe happy with your music choices

Don’t let another wedding gig catch you off guard! With these insider tips, you’ll be the unsung hero (pun intended) of the next “I do” celebration. Get ready to make musical memories that’ll last way longer than the cake.
