We are getting married in a church that is OOT. We've met with the priest at the church but today we went to his mass for the first time. This will sound really bad but the organist/cantor was terrible! Like almost comical. The organ he used was not traditional and had a synthesizer/electric sound to it and he was a really bad singer. I don't know if he's the regular person they use. If he is the regular music person I would not want to use him but would not want to insult the church. Maybe he would be okay as the organist if I asked him not to use the electric sounding organ.
But anyways my question is do I need to use an organist and singer/cantor during the ceremony? Or can I just use him as the organist and have no singer? Or can I hire a different singer to come in? As well we wanted to hire a violinist to play the processional/recessional music. Is this allowed? I will definitely talk to my priest about all the music arrangements but I wanted to get some advice on this first about what's the norm and how to bring up this issue sensitively.
