Wedding Music Guidelines & Musician Directory

Since a church wedding is a religious ceremony, all music should be of an appropriate nature. Secular music will be considered on an individual basis. Please contact the Scheduling Coordinator at 903-525-1126 if you have questions about whether a song is appropriate.

The following musicians are available to provide music for your wedding. All arrangements should be made with them personally in regard to schedule and music. It is the responsibility of the wedding party to select any and all soloists and/or instrumentalists. If you need assistance in selecting either, please contact the Worship Ministry at 903-525-1114.
