Musicians
The required services of the Organist and Parish Cantor are NOT included in your parish wedding fees. Please see the Wedding Music Guidelines for instructions on these fees. Please indicate here any additional musicians you would like for your wedding liturgy. NOTE THAT EXTRA FEES WILL APPLY FOR EACH ADDITIONAL INSTRUMENT HIRED, AND ARE SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY. The fee for a trumpeter, violinist, or flutist is $200-$225. Harpists receive a higher fee - usually around $350-$450 - since they also have to contend with cartage of their unusually large and heavy instrument. ANY OTHER VISITING OR CONTRACTED MUSICIANS (including string/brass ensembles or guest vocalists) MUST BE PRE-APPROVED BY THE DIRECTOR OF LITURGY AND MUSIC. Please contact the Director as soon as possible if you wish to utilize such instruments.

Meditation to the Virgin Mary (optional)
If you are planning a visitation to the image of Mary, it will take place after Communion (or the Lord's Prayer if you're not having a Mass.) Music during this moment is usually a setting of the 'Ave Maria' or other appropriate hymn to Mary. This action may also be accompanied by a selection by the organist alone. If you chose to have an 'Ave Maria' sung during the Seating of the Generation at the beginning, it would be best not to do another here.
