Suggested songs for your wedding ceremony

A singer can transform your wedding ceremony; whether it be a church or civil wedding. A singer can perform during the signing of the register, as well as leading the hymn singing for the congregation. Either a soprano singer or alternatively our Gospel Trio can perform a range of songs to suit your taste. With civil weddings, there are restrictions on the lyrics that can be performed during the marriage ceremony. We understand that ‘No words with a religious connotation’ should be included. Whilst there are local variations, we would recommend that the lyrics to any song you wish to have performed are approved by the registrar at a planning meeting before the wedding.
