Music

Weddings

Contact the Music Director, Monica Stephenson at (918) 406-6598 to arrange a consultation time well in advance of your wedding date. This should take about 15 minutes. When choosing music for your wedding ceremony, remember that all music should reflect the reverence and dignity of this sacred union. If you desire music not familiar to the accompanist and cantor, please provide music in desired key.

Because wedding stipends are considered part of the St. Bernard musicians’ salaries, and because we have much invested in our sound system and music instruments, use of musicians outside of the Parish of St. Bernard is not permitted without permission of the Music Director. The standard fee for a Cantor is $175. The standard fee for an accompanist is $225. The standard fee for a rehearsal with non-parish musicians is $50.

Funerals

As you plan the funeral for someone close to you, know that we all hold you and your family in our thoughts and prayers. Please contact the Parish Life Director for a list of suggested Funeral songs. Because funeral stipends are considered part of the St. Bernard musicians’ salaries, and because we have much invested in our sound system and music instruments, use of musicians outside of the Parish of St. Bernard is not permitted without permission of the Music Director. The standard fee for a rehearsal with non-parish musicians is $50. The standard fee for a Cantor is $175. The standard fee for the accompanist is $175.
