Music for wedding masses must be sacred in nature and performed live. The following songs are a selection of what is in our song books. If there is a sacred song that has special meaning for the bride and groom, and is not listed below, please contact Luisa Orejana, the Director of Music, to determine if the special request can be accomodated.
Choosing a secular or non-religious song will require a copyright license. It may require a purchase of the music by the couple.
