I’d Love To Sing At Your Wedding!

Whether you want something old, something new, something borrowed or something blue — I’d love to sing for you on your special day!

I offer a broad repertoire of both religious and secular songs, suitable for most weddings and ceremonies. I’ll be happy to offer suggestions based on your schedule for the day and personal preferences.

I can perform with musicians of your choice (organist, string quartet etc.), provide musicians from my own network, or use high quality backing tracks (indoors or outdoors, as you wish). Don’t worry about the practicalities — I’ll be happy to guide you through the options.

I love my work and I’d be delighted to help make your day memorable for all the right reasons!

Ceremony Package

I’m happy to sing at all religious, civil and secular ceremonies.

What you get with my Ceremony package:

Free consultation to devise the perfect programme based on your tastes and preferences
Provision of music, backing tracks and sound system as required
Arrival 45 mins prior to the start of the Ceremony for set up and sound check
Up to four songs sung live during the Ceremony
All arrangements confirmed by written contract

Options for musical interludes:

Arrival of guests
Entrance of the Bride / Couple
In place of a hymn or reading
During the signing of the register
The departure of the happy couple

Post-Ceremony Drinks Reception Package

Having said “I do”, the newlyweds are off to have their photos taken. Your guests are left to mingle and get to know one another — many having met for the first time. A live performance is a great talking point, an ice-breaker and a way to transition from the formal tone of the wedding ceremony to a more relaxed social setting.

What you get with my Drinks Reception package:

Free consultation to devise the perfect programme based on your tastes and preferences
Provision of music, backing tracks and sound system as required
45 minutes bespoke programme sung live during the Drinks Reception
All arrangements confirmed by written contract

Combined Ceremony & Drinks Reception Package

I can of course put together a special programme of songs to cover both the Wedding Ceremony and the Drinks Reception, combining the best of both packages! This saves you the time and expense of finding, and hiring, several different singers or musicians.

Since I sing in several different styles, I can offer the perfect programme of songs to suit the different moods of the day: more formal during the Ceremony itself, a little more relaxed and sociable afterwards. Live music is always a wonderful way to set the mood and reflect the very special nature of the day.

After Dinner Entertainment

This is a bespoke entertainment package, suitable for the after dinner part of the evening. It's the perfect ice-breaker to warm you up and get everyone ready to ‘throw some shapes’ on the dance floor!

I can include popular hits from opera to Abba, plus highlights from musicals such as Phantom of the Opera, My Fair Lady, West Side Story and Chicago and much-loved classics associated with stars such as Shirley Bassey, Judy Garland and Liza Minnelli. It’s full throttle, high octane fun all the way... and I don’t hold back!
