Songs in Registry Office...

LaurensMummy

How many songs would you choose for a registry office wedding?
I know obviously 1. for walking in 2. Signing Register and 3. leaving but was wondering if I should have a couple extra just in case the music stops before we leave.
Thanks

We were told to pick something with a short intro for the entance (so you get straight to the good bit)
The 12 minutes worth of music for signing the register, and an exit track.
Then once the ceremony is over, we'll have an MP3 play list of background music for the reception.

Ask your registrar about what music you will need - they will know best how long each bit takes.

You might need to check the details from your registry office - we had to submit our music choice for the ceremony (and reading selection) no later than 4 weeks before the ceremony to ensure that they met approval (no religious context etc).

Yes we were told that but we are not having any readings just a basic ceremony....in and out!!!

But were you supposed to submit your music choices too?
We had to do both.

They told us to bring a cd with our own music on or they had a selection that you could borrow....gonna ring them tomorrow to check, as they are only open 9-1!!!

Ah - they seem a lot more relaxed than ours then!

We were told one to walk in to, 3 for the signing and one to leave. We're going to have music beforehand (easy listening loungey stuff probably, or light classical) and then afterwards there'll be more light stuff playing. During the meal we're doing a bit of a fun background - either going all nostalgic and having old kids tv stuff (us and most of our guests are in 40s and 50s age bracket) or playing animal themed songs to tie in with being at the zoo!

We were told to pick four
1) For the groom and guests to listen to while they are waiting for the bride
2) Entrance music for the bride
3) For signing the register
4) For bride and groom to leave to
