Weddings - Music

Music plays a very important part in your Wedding. It is customary to have:

• Organ music played for the entrance of the Bride
• Organ music for the Wedding March at the end
• 2 to 3 hymns or songs during the service
• Either a piece of organ music or a soloist during the signing of the register

Our clergy and our organist will be pleased to advise you. The following are only suggestions, and you need not feel limited by them. Any special requests should be cleared in plenty of time with the organist and the minister taking the service.
