Unfortunately, in the UK it's not as straight forward as
being able to have any music you want at your wedding there are a few rules and
regulations that have to be adhered to.
Civil Weddings
Currently the law in England states that music in civil
services must be "non-religious." This does leave some grey areas on
what can and can't be used and in reality it is probably more at the discretion
of the individual Registrars as to whether particular music is suitable.
If in doubt, the best thing is to contact the General
Register Office at this address:
Marriages & Civil Partnerships
General Register Office
Trafalgar Road
Southport
PR8 2HH
We can help and guide you all the way but the best rule is
to also speak to your own Registrar and work closely with them.
But regardless of religious or non-religious music, you can
still have music to impress with fabulous processional and recessional music
(in and out!) and something special for signing the register. You can also get
all your friends and family involved to add that personal touch!
Religious Services
With church or religious weddings you are working within the
rules and regulations of your own religion, be it hymns, religious songs or anthems.
You also have a free rein to choose some fabulous music for
processional, recessional, signing of the register and both before and
after the service to entertain your congregation.
Music can play the biggest role in setting just the right
atmosphere for your day.
We can help find the most perfect live or pre-recorded music
which can be the start of a theme throughout the day or just something
memorable to kick-off the day with a bang. Imagine trumpeters to herald the
arrival of the bride, a traditional brass band or string quartet, a steel band
in the cool summer breeze or an amazing singer to send shudders down the spine.
Let us find your perfect musical package.
