Music for the Rite of Matrimony

The selections within the Music for the Rite of Matrimony were assembled to assist couples in the process of choosing music for their wedding celebration at Trinity Wall Street.

Music selections should be included in the bulletin form you received when scheduling your wedding.

The processional is the music played while the wedding party and bride process into the church. If you have a small wedding party, you may choose one track only both for the wedding party and the bride. If you wish to hire a trumpet player, all of these selections may include trumpet.
