Fees


It is one of the primary responsibilities of the Director of Music to coordinate the music for wedding liturgies. However, any musician listed below
may be engaged to play or sing for your wedding. The Director of Music will be happy to assist you in contacting any of these individuals.

The Director of Music or other organist/pianist/vocalist/instrumentalist does not attend the wedding rehearsal. If the musician is available to attend the
rehearsal and you wish to have him/her there, an extra fee will be imposed.

No music may be used without prior discussion with the Director of Music.

If you decide to hire a musician not listed below, the Director of Music must also be contacted prior to their engagement because there are guidelines
and policies pertaining to liturgy and selection of music that may be unknown to musicians who do not regularly work at Incarnation. Approval from
the Director of Music must be obtained before any outside musician may be used. Please note that the music fee (bench fee) must still be paid even
if you use an outside organist or pianist.
