You should discuss your order of service with our Church Warden, Brenda Bell, 01260 290194, and your music with our Director of Music, Sally Drage, well in advance of your wedding. Sally will provide a list of suitable hymns, together with the words as sung at Astbury, and also advise you on your choice of entrance and exit music. (Please note that this is always played on the organ.) Your order of service needs to be submitted to her and Jeff for approval before it is printed.
