Music is normally played during parts of the ceremony, unless you request otherwise. At all Register Offices in Cambridgeshire you can provide your own music if you so wish, usually on CD. At the Cambridge Register Office there is a selection of classical and more modern music from which you can choose if you prefer. Also on sale at all Cambridge and Huntingdon Register Offices is a compilation CD of Wedding Music.

At Ely, Huntingdon and Fenland Register Offices the staff will select the music to play unless you opt to provide your own.

Part of one track could be played for the bridal entry (if arranged), another 5 to 10 minutes for the checking and signing of the Register and another track for the exit.

The music used can have no religious connotation due to the civil nature of the marriage. Examples of pieces that would not be acceptable are Ave Maria, Pie Jesu or any Mass or Requiem.

For all marriages at Approved Premises the music will have to be supplied by yourselves, either recorded or live. If there is live music the Superintendent Registrar conducting the ceremony will liase with the musicians on the day over cue words
