Order of Ceremony

While every ceremony is different, this is the general order for most ceremonies. If you want to print an order of ceremony to give out to your guests, this will likely be it.

You can double check this by looking at the ceremony I have written for you. If part of the ceremony is written in bold, such as Ketubah Signing or Exchange of Rings, that’s the order.

  • Opening Remarks Before Ceremony
  • Processional/Circling
