Wedding Music:
We are so glad that you are planning your wedding at St. Augustin! Below are some policies for Wedding Music:
There is a flat $300 fee for wedding music. This includes: Meeting with the Music Director, Liturgical Music Planning, Organist and Vocalist (which may also be done from the Organ) for the ceremony.
All music must be sung and played from the loft.
All music during the Mass must serve a liturgical purpose and should reflect the solemnity of the Sacramental Vows of marriage. It is also advisable that it reflects the classical aesthetics and beauty of St. Augustin Church. (Prelude/Postlude music that is not liturgical must be approved by the Pastor and Music Director.)
Outside musicians or family members who would like to participate in music for the Mass must be approved by the Music Director and are not considered part of the $300 fee for music.
The necessity of musicians being present at the Wedding rehearsal is subject to availability and is up to the discretion of the Music Director.
Requests for additional professional instrumentalists (violinists, flutists, small choir, etc) are subject to availability. The requested fee for an outside professional musician is $100 (and $50 per additional professional singers)
