Music
Music in the wedding liturgy, like the music of all the services of worship, is never an end unto itself, but rather a means to glorify God and edify His people. The wedding liturgy is a time of worship and a celebration of faith, and music for your wedding should be chosen accordingly. You will be guided in the selection of music for your wedding by the parish music coordinator. Only religious music may be used within the Mass or wedding service.
The parish music coordinator will have a list of music appropriate for celebrating weddings in church. If needed, the music coordinator can also recommend soloists for the wedding. The fees for the musicians, musical ensembles or instrumentalists are set by, and are payable directly, to the musicians themselves prior to the wedding. The musician’s fee should be paid no later than the rehearsal date.
Please note: The parish music coordinator must be contacted even if outside musicians (organist, instrumentalist, vocalist, etc.) are to be used. These guest musicians must also comply with the parish music policy for weddings.
