All music in the Wedding Service should reflect the praise, prayer and sacred meaning of the service and directed toward God in an appropriate manner. Favorite popular/secular songs are not appropriate for the Wedding Service and are more appropriate at the reception.
The Organist/Music Associate must approve all music used in your wedding. This includes soloists and instrumentalists. Special care should be taken in selecting a vocalist/instrumentalist. There are several fine vocalists/instrumentalists available in the church. The Organist/Music Associate will be happy to suggest some. If vocalists/instrumentalists are secured by the couple, it is their responsibility to contact the Organist/Music Associate to schedule a rehearsal. There is no music at the wedding rehearsal. The rehearsal with outside musicians are usually held the day of the wedding. One rehearsal is included in the fee. Additional rehearsals are possible at an additional rate of $50 per rehearsal.
It is expected that the MUMC Organist will play for all weddings. If the couple wishes to use another organist, they are welcome to play before and after the service.
A CD of processionals/recessionals and vocal music is available for your listening pleasure. Contact the Wedding Coordinator or Organist/Music Associate for your complimentary copy.
After listening to brief excerpts, simply select your choices.
