Music for Weddings
St. Viator Parish, Chicago, IL | Evan Snyder, Director of Music
The following is a list of music available for your wedding day. I currently do not have recordings of the songs and hymns listed; however,
you can find many of them on youtube.com, itunes, spotify, or other online resources. Please keep in mind that all music played or sung
during the liturgy must be appropriate in a Catholic liturgy. Music sung or played as a prelude or postlude may be secular, but still
appropriate for use in the Church at the discretion of the Music Director.

of God).
