Music by Molly - Catholic Wedding Singer

Music by Molly - Catholic Wedding Singer I am a music coordinator and trained vocalist helping couples plan the wedding music of their dreams! I have always loved music. St. Cecilia, pray for us!

Growing up in a Navy family, I was able to experience many different musical traditions in various parishes. Singing in the choir became a constant in my life, from grade school all the way through college and into the present. During my sophomore year of high school, I also started cantoring at Mass. This experience led me to pursue a minor in music at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. During c

ollege, I served as the music director at the UNL Newman Center for three years. This opportunity allowed me to delve deeper into the beauty and tradition of sacred music in the Catholic Church, and during this time I began singing for weddings as well. After graduating in 2016, I became the choir director, and eventually liturgy director, and wedding music coordinator at my current parish, where I served for five years. Now, I continue to serve as a cantor in my parish and seek out opportunities to participate in special sacred music performances within my community. In January 2018, I started my own wedding music business. My goal was to use my talents to glorify God and assist Catholic couples in understanding and experiencing the profound beauty of the Mass, specifically during their wedding ceremony. The constant pursuit of knowledge and growth inspires me; whether it's learning about new aspects of the liturgy and sacred music, or acquiring new musical and technical skills, I constantly strive to expand my expertise. This allows me to be more creative in assisting couples to bring their wedding music dreams to life in a way that magnifies God's glory. Music is a powerful tool for spiritual transformation, and I am humbled to play a role in helping others encounter God's beauty through sacred music.

Are you looking for a vocalist and/or music coordinator for your Catholic ceremony who:

๐ŸŽต Has an intimate knowledge of the liturgy guidelines and musical requirements for a Catholic wedding ceremony
๐ŸŽต Has over 16 years of experience singing, planning, and directing Catholic liturgies
๐ŸŽต Has a wide range of experience with different styles of music appropriate for a Catholic wedding ceremony
๐ŸŽต Has a keen attention to detail
๐ŸŽต Has solid connections with other musicians and parish liturgy directors in the area
๐ŸŽต Has a deep love for the Catholic faith and sacred music, and wants to share that love with her clients
.. then look no further! My name is Molly Gaston, and I would love to help you plan music for your Catholic ceremony that is both meaningful to you as a couple and authentically celebrates the Catholic faith. Planning a Catholic wedding can be extremely daunting; one of the most frequent things I hear during planning sessions with my couples is, "I had no idea there were so many [musical] parts of the Mass that need to have decisions made about them!" I am here to take the stress out of one of the most important aspects of the liturgy so that you can focus on each other and the Sacrament you are preparing to enter into. I am based in Gretna, NE, but, as you'll see below, I travel all over Omaha and Lincoln, and will travel just about anywhere outside that area (fees may apply). You can reach out to me via Facebook, email ([email protected]), or my website (musicbymollyne.com).

I began cantoring (leading sung music for Mass) my sophomore year of high school at St. Gerald in Ralston, however, I started singing in school choirs for Mass way back in grade school. My love for singing at Mass and for helping others appreciate sacred music has only grown with each parish I've been at.

๐ŸŽถ Here's what's coming up for me in the next few months! ๐ŸŽถ

I "soft launched" my return from maternity leave by picking up a couple last minute Masses on Ash Wednesday and the Second Sunday of Lent, and now it's time to jump back into the regularly scheduled program. *Mass dates and times subject to change.*

I am still working on responding to emails and recent wedding inquiries; thank you for your patience while I navigate running a business as a mother of two!

My wedding calendar is filling up fast (busy year for our parish!!). If you're in need of a cantor for your wedding Mass/ceremony, I have select dates remaining for 2026, so please reach out ASAP or you can schedule a free consultation here: bit.ly/mxm-schedule-consultation.

โœ… July 23 - Funeral for my grandma, singing with my dad and brother, at St. Louis Catholic Church, Castroville, TX
โœ… August 6 - Healing Mass with the SCB Praise & Worship Choir at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church - Gretna/Omaha, Neb.
