The Founder's Chapel at the University of San Diego is gorgeous, and a great location to get married if you are Roman Catholic. Basically, they provide the space, you provide everything else (clergy, florals, music, etc). Founders Chapel actually requires live music, so we are the perfect ensemble to come in an perform, but we are limited during the ceremony to liturgical and classical music. Per their policy:
GUIDELINES FOR WEDDING MUSIC: The guidelines for wedding music for the Diocese of San Diego outline the important criteria for music incorporated into the liturgy for the Sacrament of Matrimony. It is important that you familiarize yourself with the criteria and guidelines. Arrangements for music groups, organists and soloist must be approved by the officiating clergy with proper attention being given to accepted liturgical norms. Founders Chapel has no full-time musicians, but can, if requested, suggest musicians who have performed at weddings here in the past. At Founders Chapel, we have several music policies with which you should be aware. First, all music must be “Live”; taped or recorded music is not permitted. Second, musical instruments are not limited to the organ or piano. If you wish to look into other possibilities, please speak with the wedding coordinator. Please refer to the guidelines for wedding music for the Diocese of San Diego in the addendum pages.
The Left Coast Quintet has performed here before, we are actually very familiar with the University of San Diego campus as we've been hired for many events there over the years. We are more than happy to help walk you through traditional music that will be meaningful for you and fit within the established guidelines of the church.
