Order of service questions
What goes in a UK wedding order of service?
It commonly lists the entrance, welcome, readings, declarations or promises, vows, rings, signing and exit. The exact order depends on your ceremony type and must be confirmed with your registrar, celebrant, venue or faith leader.
Can we personalise a civil ceremony order of service?
Usually, but registrars set rules for legal wording and may restrict religious content in a civil ceremony. Send readings, music and personal wording to your registrar for approval by their deadline.
