Weddings

What You Need to Know:

The usual form of service at St John’s requires these musical items:

​

  • entrance music for the bride

  • two or three hymns

  • something to listen to during the signing of the registers

  • departure music for the bride & groom

​

The recordings (right) are just to give you an idea of the music. They are not performances from our own church and the sound will be different.
