Weddings
Let us help to make your wedding really special by providing wonderful music at the ceremony. We can perform musical items whilst your guests arrive in the church and during the signing of the register. As well as this we would help to swell the congregation during the service so that your favourite hymns sound as you imagined they would.
We have a repertoire of wedding music for you to choose from. For example:
Before the ceremony:
Non Nobis Domine
As Long As I Have Music
The Water Of Tyne
Chariot's Coming/Swing Low
'Cross The Wide Missouri
For The Beauty Of The Earth
I Can't Give You Anything But Love
My Guy
Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Your Raise Me Up
Angels Through The Night
During the signing of the register
Non Nobis Domine
The Lord Bless You And Keep You
Laudate Dominum
Somewhere
As Long As I Have Music
The Water Of Tyne
Panis Angelicus
A Gaelic Blessing
This is only a suggestion and you could mix and match as you wished.
The fee for this service would be £250 with 10% deposit payable on booking.
You would be welcome to come along and hear us sing at a convenient concert or during our Tuesday evening rehearsals by arrangement.
