Saint Jude musicians will provide music for all weddings. All musical arrangements must be made through Mike Marek at least two months before the wedding. If you do not select your music, a pre-set list of music may be used for your wedding, so please contact Mike right away at 303.988.6435 ex.20 Additional instrumentalists may be available for an additional fee. Please discuss this with Mike as early as possible. Due to the musical requirements of the Rite of Marriage, an experienced accompanist and cantor (singer) are necessary. Sometimes there is a family member or friend whom you would like to have sing or play a song or two. This is fine. It will be best if this person sings or plays selections during the Prelude Music section while St. Jude musicians serve the rest of the musical liturgical needs. St. Jude Musicians The payment which you make to the church covers the fees of the accompanist and the cantor. The accompanist will be available shortly before the wedding for a brief rehearsal if there is a guest soloist. If a guest soloist needs a special rehearsal with the accompanist other than that, a $50/half hour fee is to be paid directly to the accompanist. Neither the accompanist nor the cantor will be present at the wedding rehearsal. St. Jude Catholic Church 9405 W. Florida Ave. Lakewood, CO 80232
