The Recovering Choir Director

This link to polyphony, and other posts on wedding music has me wondering — how commonly do weddings, outside of those of members of a music ministry, or others with connection to a standing choral group of some sort, have the musical resources to do something like this?
At one of my brother’s weddings (a brother among many, not a wedding among many) I was the psalmist and “wedding soloist” in the old fashioned sense, bur I was able to recruit the ATB from amongst the other siblings who arrived in good voice and unencumbered by toddlers and we did a couple unrehearsed but simple four part motets.
And once at a wedding for a friend who is a professional performer every guest with the chops and willingness was handed a copy of “Make Our Garden Grow,” (this was a civil ceremony,) which we sang in 10 or 11 part harmony, or whatever it was (and the sound rivalled, or surpassed anything on any of the B’way or opera company recordings of Candide.)
But how often in real life do most of you in music ministry have even small choirs for weddings?
I don’t think at any church where I have ever worked or been a member this was usual.
Do most of your church’s have standing choirs for weddings?

Peace, all.

From time to time, I haved assembled choirs, though usually for weddings of church musicians. We had one of the parish choirs sing at our wedding, which was at the regular parish Saturday evening Mass. If we were in a different century, a regular choir for parish weddings would have some promise.
