The parishes of the Cathedral of St. Raphael and St. Patrick Church joyfully welcome all couples who will be celebrating the Sacrament of Marriage. In order to ensure that liturgy and music at the our parishes are professional, prayerful and well organized, a set of music guidelines has been prepared to assist couples in their planning process.

Wedding Music Workshops – How often do couples find themselves immersed in the difficult task of planning a liturgical celebration without any solid guidance or support after they have committed themselves to getting married in the church? The experience can be daunting! Do you as a couple wish to have trained and seasoned wedding music professionals assisting you in your planning process to ensure that your sacramental celebration is well planned, organized, elegant and most of all “stress free”? Wedding Music Workshops are designed to help you plan your wedding music in group sessions with other couples who are going through the same process. Come walk through the wedding liturgy with us! Come hear a wealth of musical options sung and played by a team of experienced cantors/vocalists and instrumentalists. Feel confident in hiring the musicians you have experienced first hand – knowing that what you heard in the workshop is how it will sound on your wedding day. No guessing games! Cathedral wedding music workshops are the primary planning process for all couples getting married at Saint Raphael/Saint Patrick. We also welcome any couple in the tri-state area wishing to resource the Cathedral music staff. Please refer to the Music Guideline link above, or email the Director of Music for more specifics.
