Civil Wedding Ceremonies Harp music at a civil wedding usually consists of the following: Music before the ceremony to entertain guests as they arrive. One piece as the Bride makes her entrance. Two or three pieces during the signing of the register. One piece as the Bridal Party exit. The Government have recently relaxed their prohibition on religious music at a civil wedding ceremony. Hymms are still not permitted, but other music with religious connotations may be allowed at the discretion of the Registrar. In practice, Registrars are varying quite significantly in their interpretation of the new guidelines, so if you are thinking of having religious music, you will need to check with your Registrar first. Apart from this, the sky's the limit when it comes to choosing music and it depends very much on the individual taste of the bridal couple. Paula will discuss your preferences with you beforehand and help you to select your choice of music for the ceremony. She is pleased to locate and play special requests whenever possible.
