Our 'donation' to the church included the organist and the cantor. We met with the organist a few weeks before the wedding to go over the choices we had. We walked in to Canon in D (Pachelbel - spelling??) He even played a few bars of the music we considered so we would have a better idea of what we wanted.

I have to pay my church organist to play. Some songs to do are:

1. Cortege
2. Hornpipe
3. Trumpet Tune
4. Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring
5. Trumpet Voluntary
6. Prelude in F Major
7. Canon in D

These are some suggested by my church because I am not allowed to use 'here comes the bride'.

Our fee included the organist and we could pick whatever songs we wanted.

Mine did. Sorry, I had the traditional song, but ask to hear other songs you can choose from that's what I did.

I made an appointment with the organist and he played a few songs for us to hear and choose from (Processionals, Responsorial Psalms, Gospel Acclamation/Verse, Recessional and some other Hymns)

Oh and here's a website that might be helpful to you to hear the Ceremony music....http://www.weddingmusic101.com/

I have to pay extra for the organist and a vocalist.

ours came with the church... she called us about a month/month and a half before to talk about what music we wanted played for different parts of the ceremony.... she was very opened to suggestions and new ideas, so we had no problems
