Hire the best Choirs and Vocal Ensembles in the UK

Anyone who’s attended a wedding knows how awful it is if the congregation can’t or wont sing. This can be especially embarrassing for the bride and groom who have put so much time and effort into making their special day run smoothly. Because of this, many couples make the decision to hire a choir or vocal harmony group to help lift hymns and the congregation into a harmonious sing-along.

Choirs and vocal harmony groups are ideal for these situations and also the perfect entertainment for a wedding reception or perhaps a garden party, whilst guests are having drinks and socialising. Harmony groups have a fantastic reputation of being able to rework well-known songs making them stand out from other styles of music, so you can guarantee your guests will be impressed by your choice of entertainment.

"Thank you for your fantastic performance at the vintage fair last week, we had great feedback from our client and were really impressed with your flexibility on the day, working with us through the timing changes and adapting your sets to fit in. I hope we have another event we can book you for soon!"

Ideal for:

By booking a vocal harmony group for your wedding ceremony, reception or drinks party you’ll be providing something really special for your guests. Harmony groups are great to watch, suit a wide range of audiences and are also extremely affordable! Depending on the number of guests, your harmony group could even sing completely unplugged which would reduce your costs. You can also hire a vocal group for other events, like funerals and church services.

You could also hire a choir for recording, if you're a singer/songwriter looking to add a more gospel influence to your single or album.

When booking Choirs / Vocal Groups:

When booking any entertainment, it’s crucial that you liaise with the musicians about their technical and other requirements for the gig. Whilst vocal harmony groups don’t have quite as many requirements as large bands, there are still items they will need before performing. These will often include a space to change clothes, parking at the venue, more than one power source, refreshments and a meal.

Prices for Choirs / Vocal Groups:

The prices for vocal groups will usually depend on how many members they have. Small duos can start at a minimum of £300, but this quote will alter given experience, the length of performance time and the type of event. If you're looking to cut down on travel cost, then use the "advanced search" feature to find choirs near to you.

About Choirs / Vocal Groups:

Vocal groups come in different shapes and sizes and range from duos to quintets to full choirs. Some groups specialise in performing music from a bygone era such as the 1950s, which work particularly well at birthday parties and weddings where the audience is at a similar age, as well as at themed corporate events, such as product launches and networking events.

Various groups will suit different events better. For instance, small groups like classical duos, will be absolutely perfect for corporate events and formal dinners, providing excellent entertainment in a formal setting, dressed the part. Choirs will be especially popular at christmas time, reciting some hymns, christmas carols and other christmas classics.

When it comes to requests -as a rule - the larger the group, the less able they will be to perform requests. This is obviously down to the practicalities of getting so many people together to arrange and rehearse the songs. That said, it is down to the individual choir, and some will be happy to learn specific songs for events like your wedding ceremony, if given enough time.
