If you haven’t already called the office and spoken to a priest:

Call 847-382-5300 and set up the First Interview.  You will receive a policy manual about weddings from Saint Anne at that meeting. Any questions you have about what you need to do get ready for your wedding will be addressed at this meeting.

If you have already done that preparatory session:

• Attend a wedding fair.
• If you’d like to begin working on the wedding music, you can download the following documents (these are also available through links on the home page):
  • A worksheet to plan the music. (Word Document) (PDF)
  • A grid with some of our suggested titles on it, indicating appropriate times in the liturgy for each song. (Word Document) (PDF)
• You can find the same grid online HERE, with 30-second samples of almost every song on the list. Whether you have been to the wedding fair or not, this will probably help you remember which song is which.
• You will be contacted by one of our Wedding Coordinators 6-8 weeks before your wedding. At this meeting, you can work out the other details of the wedding liturgy itself, as well as double check that all the other requirements of the law and Church have been met.
