Weddings: Where? A Church Service

This is how your commission might fit in to the Order of Events during a service in a traditional Church wedding. We've also listed the type of music that is appropriate at each point in the service.

  • Before the service - quiet, unobtrusive background music while people take their seats.
  • Processional/Entrance - can be something gentle or regal/fanfare.
  • Hymn
  • Reading
  • Music between Readings - there are many options for music here but traditionally music of a quieter nature is preferred.
  • Reading (alternatively could have music here)
  • Sermon
  • Marriage Vows
  • Hymn
  • Signing the Register - again, gentle, 'background' music is ideal here/music to stop the congregation fidgeting!
  • Hymn
  • Prayers and Blessing
  • Recessional/Exit - triumphant/jubilant music
