Civil Ceremonies

A Civil Ceremony is a non religious wedding Ceremony which can be personalised to suit your own individual requirements.  Music can play an important part in the Civil Ceremony and the Bride and Groom may organise background music to suit, whether it is a harpist, string quartet or music special to them. You may also wish to recite some special words.
