I'm looking for a large ensemble song to sing at my wedding reception coming up in April. I have many guests attending who are accomplished singers that I've sang with in various shows and singing groups over the years and would love to find a song we could all sing together at the reception with simple but impressive harmonies. Ideally something that showcases multiple soloists.
So far I've thought of the All Shook Up arrangement of Can't Help Falling in Love - but does anyone out there have some other ideas of Broadway group numbers that could work for something like this? My fiance isn't an Elvis fan but I love the style of this arrangement. Appreciate any suggestions!!

A MILLION DREAMS ( from the movie musical The Greatest Showman) may have become ubiquitous but it has been known to have been sung in wedding receptions.

There's also the Wedding Chorale from Les Misérables! Short but sweet but you could maybe do a round...
"Ring out the bells upon this day of days!
May all the angels of the Lord above
In jubilation sing their songs of praise!
And crown this blessed time with peace and love!"

"To Life" from Fiddler? Love when this was sung at Lin-Manuel's wedding, with a few changes to the lyrics.

I wrote an arrangement years ago for a friend's wedding that was a mashup of "Without You" and "I'll Cover You" from Rent. It was for three women, plus piano, violin, viola, and cello, but could easily be expanded to be sung by an ensemble. Let me know if you want to chat about using it!

At my wedding, our friends sang Seasons of Love from Rent as we left the altar together. It was lovely and the guests really got into clapping and singing along at the end

I have supplied a singing and dancing (or lip-syncing and dancing) flash mob of "It's Your Wedding Day" from The Wedding Singer to a few weddings I DJ'd.

"We'll Make Our Garden Grow" from Candide It's a sober but realistic view of two imperfect people coming together. "We're neither pure nor wise nor good," they sing. And the bride and groom could probably say that of themselves.
