WEDDING MUSIC SELECTION GUIDE

   

These selections are meant to be a guide to those couples who cannot have a personal conference with the Organist/Choirmaster of the Huguenot Church. This list should not be viewed as an exhaustive resource. It should, however, serve to illustrate the type of music which is most appropriate for church wedding services. Couples are most free to choose items not on this list. If they should question the taste or suitability of a particular selection, they are urged to contact the Organist/Choirmaster.
