2. Your Wedding Music
Appropriate music will enhance and beautify your wedding celebration. You are encouraged to discuss your music ideas with the pastor well in advance of your wedding date before final decisions are made on selections and musicians. The lyrics (message) of the vocal music you select should be consistent with the Christian celebration of the marriage service.
If you are uncertain about what is appropriate music for the Christian wedding service, the pastor or music staff will be able to assist you with some suggestions, and also give you an opportunity to hear some of the selections on the organ. Music selection should be completed at least one month prior to the wedding. Soloists should rehearse with the organist or instrumentalist at least once in the worship space to become familiar with our church. All rehearsals must be scheduled through the church office.
