Important - Please Note:
-
The Music Director at All Saints Parish is required to maintain the principles set forth in the Church's Documents on the Liturgy, as well as those outlined in the Diocese of Pittsburgh's "Music for the Wedding Ritual: A Guide for Planning".
​
-
Music preceding and throughout the public celebration of the Sacrament must be that which befits the Church's teachings, and must be perceived as prayer.
​
-
Due to their secular nature, the cathedral is prohibited from using 'The Bridal Chorus” (Here Come’s the Bride).
​
-
Please be aware that many web sites are devoted to music for weddings, however, few of these web sites are required to meet the basic needs that are set forth for music in sacramental celebrations. Be careful!
​
-
Because choosing wedding music in adherence to the various guidelines set forth by the diocese can be confusing, any questions regarding the suitability of music can be discussed with the Music Director, Catie Brown.
​
-
Wedding Fees are subject to changed based on availability of staff Organists.
​
-
The Parish has a team of cantors/organists who typically provide the music for each wedding. If you have a musician that you would like to bring in for your service, please discuss this with the Music Director, Catie Brown.
​
-
All fees are due BEFORE your wedding ceremony (recommended to be given to the priest at the rehearsal, or dropped off prior to the wedding at the St. Paul Church Office). If your payment is not received prior to your wedding, there will be no music provided for your liturgy.
