• Marriage in the Catholic Church is a celebration of love that reflects God’s infinite love for us poured out in Jesus Christ. Music used during the marriage ceremony should reflect the sacredness and fidelity of Matrimony in a manner that is dignified and prayerful and glorifies God within the guidelines of the Catholic Church.
   
  Liturgical music is based on scripture and draws the couple deeper into their sacramental union in Christ. Music must be played and sung live; we do not permit recorded music. Selections should be from our hymnal (GIA's Worship IV). We do not permit music that is secular; the reception is the appropriate venue for secular music.
  
  The sung prayer of the assembly is considered the highest form of liturgical music and is the goal of our music ministry. Hymns and responses offer praise and thanksgiving on this joyous occasion and ask God’s continued blessing upon the couple and all of us. It is appropriate for everyone to sing certain parts of the Mass such as the Gloria, Alleluia, the Holy, the Mystery of Faith, and the Amen.
