Congratulations on your engagement and on your decision to celebrate the sacrament of marriage here at Padre Serra Parish. We are all praying God's blessing on you as you make this important commitment. We look forward to working with you to make your wedding day special and also to supporting, nurturing and celebrating your decision to live as a sign of God's love in the world in the days to come.

Arrangements for ALL musicians-accompanist, cantor and other instrumentalists/singers are made through:

Dominic MacAller
Director of Liturgy & Music

dominic@padreserra.org
 
Guest musicians are welcome only with the approval of the Director of Liturgy and Music, and will work with, not in place of, Padre Serra music ministers (see below):

In response to the requirements of the Catholic wedding liturgy, (with or without mass) our practice at Padres Serra Parish is to staff each wedding with an accompanist (pianist/organist) and a cantor, a vocal soloist specially trained in Catholic liturgy, particularly for leading the assembly (the wedding guests) to participate in the sung prayer and ritual.  The accompanist's fee is $200 and the cantor/soloist fee is $175. You may also wish to arrange for additional instrumentalists to enhance your wedding music even further. Typical fees for additional instrumentalists range from $150 to $200. 
Payment is required for all musicians no later than four days prior to the wedding ceremony. Details are to be worked ahead of time with the Director of Liturgy & Music. Thank you and congratulations again.​
