The Director of Music Ministry must be contacted for your wedding music, and to coordinate with for any musicians.

"Your music and your song are a true instrument of evangelization insofar as you witness to the profoundness of the Word of God that touches the hearts of people, and allow a celebration of the sacraments."
~Pope Francis

Music is performed by live musician(s) at your wedding; CD tracks and Youtube recordings are not played during the Holy Sacrament of Marriage.

Weddings

As soon as your wedding date is confirmed, contact the our Director of Music Ministry, Jim Stayton, to assist you in helping plan your ceremony music.

It is suggested that you have a cantor/vocalist to perform at the wedding ceremony. Please make the music director aware of additional instrumentalists and/or vocalists you would like for your Mass/Ceremony. i.e. – violinist, trumpet, etc. – Every effort will be made to meet your requests, however, it cannot be guaranteed.

Stipends are as follows: (Payable on or before Wedding Day)
- Organist/Music Director - $250
- Cantor - $200
- Each Instrumentalist (violin, flute, trumpet, etc.) will have a different fee based on their experience and instrument.

Please make sure to finalize any details with your Music Director TWO weeks before the ceremony to assure everyone is on the same page.

You can at any time set up an appointment with the Music Director to go over musical suggestions. Usually the best time to meet is on Saturday or Sunday, but accommodations can generally be made to meet at a time of mutual convenience.
