Orders of Service
Always check the details of your Order of Service with your clergy before placing your order. However if you would like to let us have the details at a later date, please type in the box Details to follow.
Please note that whilst most services fit neatly onto a single double sided insert (4 printed sides) there may be a need to print on two inserts (8 printed sides) if your service has extra wording. There is an additional charge of £70 for an extra printed insert. We will notify you if your wording requires more than one insert. A typical service with entrance and exit music, 2-3 hymns, marriage ceremony and titles of 1 or 2 readings will not usually incur an additional charge. The first page of the insert will be personalised with your names, the date, the time and church details. The next three pages will contain the detailed order of your ceremony.
Please note that for all Orders of Service, only the first page which shows the details of the Bride and Groom and date and time and venue of the Wedding will be printed in your chosen font. The remainder is printed in a flat ink with a standard typeface for ease of reading. We generally recommend black ink for the insert as it is easier for the guests to see.

Order of Service
BRIDAL MARCH Lohengrin, Wagner
HYMN
Morning has broken,
Like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken
Like the first bird,
Praise for the singing!
Praise for the morning!
Praise for them, springing
Fresh from the Word!
Sweet the rains new fall
Sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall
On the first grass,
Praise for the sweetness
Of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness
Where his feet pass.
Mine is the sunlight!
Mine is the morning
Born of the one light
Eden saw play!
Praise with elation,
Praise every morning,
Gods re-creation
Of the new day! |

HYMN
Praise my soul the King of heaven,
To his feet thy tribute bring,
Ransomed, healed, restored,
Forgiven,
Who like me his praise should sing
Allelula! Allelula!
Praise the everlasting King
Father like he tends and spares us,
Well our feeble frame he knows,
In his hands he gently bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes
Allelula! Allelula!
Widely as his mercy flows
