  • Guide to Ceremonial Wedding Music
    Guide to Ceremonial Wedding Music Your wedding ceremony is one of the most romantic events in your life -- music can and should be a big part of it. Music plays a crucial part of setting the tone for the ceremony, and has the power to convey your feelings and personality to your guests. Whether you've dreamed of walking down the aisle to the traditional "Here Comes the Bride" or the Beatles' "In My Life," music is a wonderful way to personalize your ceremony. Without a doubt, your choice of music will create a lasting impression that people remember for years to come. We hope this guide will be of help to you as you consider your choices of music. Please keep in mind that we are not limited to the selections listed below. This guide serves as a starting point and includes the most widely accepted pieces for wedding ceremonies. To further assist you in this process, song titles that are marked with an asterisk (*) can be heard on our wedding sampler CD. Whatever music you choose, remember to first check with your officiant: He or she may uphold religious restrictions. Should potential issues arise, many officiants are able to recommend suitable substitutes. Also, find out if there are any restrictions on hiring musicians. Some venues may have exclusive arrangements with in-house personnel. Marrying outdoors? Make sure your musicians are sheltered. Direct exposure to sun on a hot summer day makes performers in tuxes very uncomfortable; and on the other hand, rain can end the performance. A tent or awning, or any covered or shaded area should do the trick.

  • Wedding Song List
    Ceremony Music Prelude The Prelude is the music prior to the ceremony processionals and is generally 20-30 minutes of light romantic and classical music selections as wedding guests are arriving and being seated. The choice of pieces during the prelude is often left to the discretion of the musician. Seating of Mothers & Grandmothers The processional of the seating of the mothers and grandmothers is the official beginning of the wedding ceremony. The music selections usually include traditional wedding music, romantic, or classical music selections. Wedding Party Processional The processional of the wedding party includes the bridesmaids, groomsmen, ring bearer, flowergirl, and other members of the wedding party walking down the aisle. The popular music choices include contemporary or traditional wedding music selections and often include music with personal significance to the bride and groom. Bridal Processional The bride's processional is the central focus of the wedding ceremony and generally includes very stately elegant music at a casual walking tempo. The bridal processional is the most personal and important music in the ceremony and often includes music with personal significance to the bride (or bride and groom). Interlude (Optional) The interlude is the area during the ceremony that involves the unity candle, sand pouring, communion or eucharist, or another meaningful moment. These are moments of quiet reflection and the music chosen should complement the general mood. Recessional Departure or recessional of the bride and groom, wedding party, and family from the ceremony site is generally includes celebratory music. The wedding guests generally depart very soon after the wedding party to a cocktail hour or reception area.

The parish accompanists and cantors are listed below for your convenience (keyboardists who can sing while playing are marked with a “+”): Organists/Pianists Grace Kunkel (Parish Music Director)+ Mother Faith (SSVM)+ Cantors Bethany Derrickson Jean Anne Willaert Forrest Kunkel If you are planning on using an accompanist, singer, or instrumentalist from outside the parish, you will need to speak with the Director of Music, Grace Kunkel, before you finalize that arrangement.

    MUSIC GUIDELINES FOR THE SACRAMENT OF MATRIMONY Mary Immaculate Catholic Church 2800 Valwood Parkway Farmers Branch, Texas 75234 972.243.7104 © 2016 Updated July 7, 2016 Dear Friends Engaged to be Married, “The grace and peace of Christ be with you.” (1 Thess 5:28.) We, the staff of Mary Immaculate Catholic Church, extend a heartfelt congratulations and best wishes as you prepare for the Sacrament of Marriage. During this time of your preparation, we wish to let you know that our prayers are with you and your journey. It has well been said: “A wedding is for a day, a marriage for a lifetime.” Your wedding is the Church’s celebration of your call to married life. This brochure contains guidelines to assist you in the selection of music to enhance the spirit of faith and prayer during the marriage rite. Music is such an integral part of the wedding ceremony, assisting the words and actions done to express powerfully your own faith and appreciation for the spiritual dimensions of married life. You are expending considerable time, effort and energy in designing plans for your wedding. Careful attention to the choice of music (as well as the Scripture readings and liturgical prayers) can enormously enhance the celebration not only for the two of you, but for all who witness your marriage vows. This enables everyone to participate in a full, conscious, focused and spiritual manner. We pray that God may dwell in your minds and hearts, with Jesus serving as the foundation of your new vowed life. The Sacrament of Marriage provides the source of grace upon which you can draw in your marriage to assist you in living the responsibilities of your hallowed state - to your respective families of origin and to the family you will establish together.
