Mount Olivet views a wedding service as a sacred ceremony within the context of a worship service. It is our intent that the music chosen for the wedding ceremony be supportive and consistent with the sacred nature of the service. Consequently, all music must be scripture based. Secular love songs do not meet with the criteria mentioned above. The musical selections below serve as examples of the flexibility of style and abundance of Christian music that fits within the parameters set by Mount Olivet. All selections not listed must be submitted for approval two months before the wedding date.


All the music files below are in MP3 format. To listen to a selection, click the header. Be patient; some samples are more than 1mb in size and make take a few moments to begin playing.
