Order of Service Wedding Books

Our books are available in two sizes, ‘Small A6 or Large A5’ and they are supplied printed with all personalised details regarding the wedding ceremony including hymns, readings and prayers for church weddings.

For civil ceremonies we can include the timings throughout your day, ie. Pre ceremony drinks, ceremony, photographs, wedding breakfast, cutting the cake, evening reception and carriages.

A civil ceremony usually includes musical interludes, readings, poems, exchange of rings and declaration of vows.

Some couples also like to include details of their wedding party, name of best man, bridesmaids, flower girls, ushers and bride and grooms parents etc.

We print the bride and groom’s names, date of wedding and church/venue details on the front cover. Alternatively we can include a favourite photograph or visual or a picture of the church/venue itself.

Order of service books can be finished with a luxurious ribbon in satin or organza to match your colour scheme.

If you prefer we can supply the card covers for you to add your own paper inserts.

We provide proofs for approval by email which you may wish to check with your church or registrar before we print your order of service books.

Wedding Order of Service Books also make a lovely memento of the day, as guests like to take them home.

Order of Service Template

It is important to speak with your vicar or priest when starting to think about your order of service and to agree the content you’d like to include in your wedding ceremony.

To most couples this is the most important part of the day and a lot of thought should be given to the readings and hymns you’d like to include. If you are unsure your vicar or priest will be able to help out and advise on the hymns and readings which will be in keeping with the joyful celebration of your wedding day.

Your church or chapel will have their own preferred order for the marriage ceremony but we have put together a template which is the most popular format for a Church of England Wedding and this can be easily tweaked by your vicar if necessary.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
