Weddings over the centuries have included everything from classical soloists to full orchestras and choirs.  
The Music Director and/or Organist  will be able to advise you, whether you want a traditional wedding or something with
a bit of a difference. The following will be helpful information to get you started.

Hymns
There is usually at least one hymn sung during a wedding service. Try to find hymns that are familiar to your guests -
and are easy to sing!  The Pastor or the organist at the church will be pleased to help you decide.
You can also listen to some of the most well-loved church wedding hymns during your consultation with the
organist.

The Organist
Organ music is the traditional choice for weddings with additions of vocal solos, instrumental music and  the Organist,
(or the Director of Music), can advise you on hymns and processional music. The capabilities and the type of organ
should be taken into account, so do seek their opinion even if you have already chosen some hymns.
The existing organ at FPCG is temporary as plans proceed for a significant addition of a large concert instrument.

Consultation with the Pastor and Wedding Liaison
You will meet separately with the Pastor, Director of Music and/or the Organist as well as the Wedding Liaison.  
The Wedding Liaison at FPCG includes helpful people at the church who will assist the planning of your wedding.   Wedding
coordination and other services will provide assistance to make your wedding flow perfectly.  A wedding booklet is
available for complete information about weddings at FPCG.  Request this from the church office.
The door is always open, so please call anytime for questions as your planning proceeds.

The Church Choir
The church choir or ensemble groups from the choir can be present at your wedding to provide selected music.
Other possibilities include suitable solo music during the prelude or the service.

The Music of the Service
To accompany the attendants and the bride’s walk down the aisle, many couples choose the traditional wedding
processionals.  However, there is scope for other music, so if you would like to explore something different, please talk to the
Organist and review the music list at the end of this page.  Listen to some of the music files below of some of the great
processionals and service music that are used world wide.

Concert Favorites
These selections represent Anthony's Concert Favorites for Processionals, Fanfares, Vocal and Instrumental music for
weddings.  Musical forces can include, brass, harp, vocal, timpani, strings and additional concert music during
the prelude or pre-nupial concerts.   Vocal selections available.

During your consultation with the organist, Anthony will play selections for you.  You may also listen to the most chosen
selections that have been requested again and again because of their appropriate character for the joyous occasions.
