  • Music within a Mass must be appropriate for the liturgy, i.e. Entrance to Communion hymn. There are a wide selection of hymns available to choose from and we can recommend based on your readings. Please consult your presiding priest if unsure.

    Music for the walk-in/out is traditionally a classical piece but can be replaced with a song that is meaningful to the couple and still respectful within a church setting.

  • We highly recommend the (digital) pipe organ to better support congregational singing and align with the spirit of the liturgical actions. We are also able to use the piano where preferred.

    Please obtain permission from the church in advance to use the instrument(s) available.
