Church Weddings
If you are having a traditional church wedding, our classical soprano soloist could sing Ave Maria during the ceremony, perhaps during the signing of the register. Many brides choose to have the singer perform at several points during the service, such as during communion, or even while the bride walks down the aisle. Our soloists are happy to work with the church's own organist, or we can provide an organist or backing CDs if required. We are also able to provide additional musicians to accompany our soloist, such as a trumpeter or harpist. We can also provide a vocal quartet (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) as a more cost-effective way of including beautiful live choral music in your ceremony, rather than the extra expense of hiring a full choir.
Civil Ceremonies & Civil Partnerships If you are having a civil marriage, or a Civil Partnership, you can use live music to structure the ceremony, set the scene and create a romantic atmosphere. This is a wonderful way to personalise the day and make it special. We can provide a pianist and digital piano where required - perfect for venues without a piano. Again, do consider the option of having other musicians accompany our singer - for example, a string quartet or a harpist. Alternatively, we can provide high-quality backing CDs.
Receptions
Our soloists are available to provide atmospheric background music for your reception, for up to two hours. This can be with piano accompaniment, or accompanied by a selection of other musicians, for example, string quartet, cello, harp ensemble or other singers. We can provide a digital piano if your venue does not have a piano. Alternatively, our soloists can perform with other musicians, such as a string quartet or harpist, or the singer can perform with backing CDs. There is a wide repertoire of songs to choose from, covering genres as diverse as jazz, pop ballads, musical theatre, opera, classical and sacred music.
Choosing your Wedding Music
Our wedding soloists sing a wide repertoire of music from sacred solos such as Ave Maria and Panis Angelicus to songs from opera, musical theatre, classical crossover (songs made popular by Katherine Jenkins, Russell Watson and Il Divo) and pop ballads. A Music Consultation session is available to help you choose your music. Please note that under current UK law, religious songs and readings are not permitted as part of a Civil Marriage or Civil Partnership ceremony.
