Wedding Liturgy Music
As with all Liturgical Celebrations, your wedding music should be chosen with great care. Lyrics should be taken
from Holy Scripture or other Liturgical Sources. They should reflect not only human love, but also God's love and
presence in our lives. Popular music is not appropriate for the wedding Liturgy. A variety of traditional and
contemporary Liturgical music can be used to make your wedding ceremony unique. The following list offers
suggestions for appropriate music and songs. Most of the music can be found in the Breaking Bread hymnal. For a
wedding ceremony outside of the Mass, omit the Offertory, Eucharistic Acclamations, and Communion sections.

outside) will be left in the same condition after the wedding as they were before the wedding.
The use of alcohol or tobacco products (inside and outside) are not permitted.
While there is no required fee for the priest or deacon, it is still customary to offer him a
gift/stipend. Please keep this in mind when planning your wedding.
