Make your ceremony unforgettable with music that reflects your love and tradition.
With nearly 20 years of experience singing for weddings, I specialize in creating meaningful musical moments tailored to each couple’s vision. Whether you are planning a sacred liturgical celebration or a non-religious ceremony, I offer elegant, expressive vocals that elevate your special day.
I’ve performed in Episcopal, Catholic, Methodist, and other denominational services, as well as secular and interfaith ceremonies. I am also experienced in cantoring full Catholic Masses, including sung Psalm, Gospel Acclamation, and Eucharistic repsonses.

Testimonials
“Margaret Ann was the perfect addition to our wedding mass! She knew every song we selected and was professional in coordinating with the Church and organist to ensure a smooth wedding day! Her rendition of Ave Maria had our wedding guests complimenting her for weeks after the wedding. A guest told my mom ‘that was so beautiful we should have paid for it and clapped when it ended.’ My uncle who is also a professional musician insisted I give him her contact so he could compliment her himself. She is such a wonderful person and talented singer - we feel so lucky she was part of our day!”
Booking and Contact
Bespoke Consultation Required
To ensure your music reflects your ceremony’s tone and meaning, I require a brief consultation (Zoom or phone) with each couple before confirming booking. This allows us to discuss your preferences, venue, accompaniment needs, and any special considerations.
This also ensures the proper vocal preparation — whether on the wedding or operatic stage, I begin preparing well in advance, maintaining vocal health and professionalism from the moment I leave my home to the moment the ceremony ends.
To check availability, schedule your consultation, request a quote, or begin planning your ceremony music, contact me here or email margaretannzentner96@gmail.com.
Let’s create something beautiful together!
Funeral and Memorial Singing
Also Available: Funeral and Memorial Services
In addition to wedding ceremonies, I also offer services for funerals and memorials. With equal years of experience, my hope is to bring calm, clarity and comfort to each occasion. I’ll work closely with you, the officiant, or the funeral home to ensure the music reflects your loved one’s spirit.
When reaching out, please indicate whether your inquiry is for a wedding or a funeral/memorial service so I can best assist you.
