Rehearsal assistant.
If you are planning to have recorded music at your ceremony, or if your
ceremony will be at all complex, we recommend hiring one of our assistants
to come to your rehearsal for just $60. We'll practice with the music
for you, as well as coordinate opening and closing the doors and other
aspects of your rehearsal. If you are bringing your own minister, it
is essential that you hire someone from Foothills Chapel to coordinate
with the minister. (303) 279-2152.
Musicians
Many of the musicians listed below have recorded CDs, won international
competitions, etc.--yet they are not unusually expensive! You are not
required to use a live musician, but it adds so very much to a wedding,
especially when they are of the high caliber of the musicians listed
below.
The costs listed below are for one hour at the wedding. These musicians
will begin playing about twenty minutes before your wedding, and perform
music during and after the wedding. It is not necessary to have professional
musicians come to your rehearsal; they can work out the musical selections
with you beforehand and then get their cues from the officiant on the
wedding day.
Many of these musicians are also available for your reception. Talk
to them about their prices and what kind of music you'd like to have.
