Music sets a tone, stirs up emotions, and shares a message with your guests, The music you choose at your wedding is a reflection of the two of you as a couple.

The church’s professional music staff can provide live piano, organ and/or vocal music for your wedding. We can also arrange for other instruments with some lead time and there would be additional cost.

Please provide your preferences. Below are some options.  A few weeks’ lead time for any special requests is appreciated in order to prepare music for your wedding.
