Congratulations to all husbands and wives to be!
So at this point you have probably already said "Yes To the Dress", your husband to be has chosen a very handsome pastel blue tux, and your in-laws to be have increased the guest list from 100 to 500 people! Now it’s time to plan the most important part, your ceremony or mass!
When planning music for your wedding, it is extremely important that the lyrics of each hymn reflect a personal message to the congregation. A message expressing who each of you are as a couple, in the eyes of the Lord. The hymns, and Responsorial psalm, should coincide with the readings you have chosen from both the Old, and New Testament. A vocalist and organist are required to help further express the message of love you have for one another.
St. Michael Parish Music Ministry offers a large selection of vocalist, male & female, classical & lyric, depending upon your preference.
Your wedding consultation will take place no later than a month prior your wedding, and will run anywhere from a 1/2 hour, to 1 hour long. Each couple is expected to have a general idea of their music selections prior consult. We have included
suggestions for music selections here.
It is strongly suggested each couple attend either a 4:00pm mass on Saturday evening, or any of our Sunday morning masses at either 8:00 or 10:30am. This is so you can listen to each of the vocalists we have on hand at St. Michael's. Not only that, but you will be able to experience firsthand, the warmth of our church family.
Vocalists Include:
Meg Deane and Nancy Iacobucci
Instrumentalists are available upon request. All musicians’ fees are subject to change and payment is due after the consultation. Payments of cash or credit is accepted. If a couple has a friend or family member, who is musically inclined, and would like to be part of your special day, please let me know. There are many places where they can be included in your mass/ceremony.
The consultation will help guide you through the mass/ceremony, and each couple, concluding the consult, will receive an email with your receipt, music selections, and composers to better assist you in the preparation of your wedding program. After consult only minor changes can be made to your program up to a week after your consult.
We look forward to meeting each and every one of you and assisting you in planning your special day here at St. Michael Parish!
Please call the Parish office at 978-562-2552 to arrange an appointment.
