Music for your Ceremony

Music is an important part of your wedding.  Couples are asked to select sacred music that reflects and enhances the Sacrament of Marriage and the sanctity of the church.  Sacred music takes its words from the Bible, religious poems or a hymn.

The Basilica has a beautiful pipe organ, and the use of the Basilica organist is included in your booking fee.

Portable keyboards, and recorded music (CD or iPod) are not permitted.

Wedding Music Days are conducted at various times during the year.  One of the Basilica organists will be available to play pieces suitable for weddings to assist you with selecting the music for your wedding ceremony.
