3. Ceremony

Ceremony music can be performed during many portions of your wedding service, if desired.

A list of Ceremony music selections is provided below. In addition to these, most of the selections on the Prelude page are also appropriate during the Ceremony. To view our complete repertoire please click on one of these links: Trio Repertoire / Quartet Repertoire.

Some appropriate places for music during the ceremony are during the lighting of the Unity Candle, Rose Presentation, between readings, during Communion or the Offertory, or as a meditation. Often the Lord’s Prayer is sung. Note that we keep most of the music traditionally used in a Catholic mass in our repertoire. We also have many Jewish wedding music selections.
