"We hired Mehreen to sing at our Christmas Ball. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a classical singer. What a voice! She sang classical and modern opera to suit our theme. She was professional at all times. Communication with Mehreen was excellent, answering my questions no matter how small. I will be keeping Mehreens details on file for future events and I will certainly be recommending her to others."

Victoria's review of Mehreen Shah - Soprano

Ideal for:

A Classical Soprano or Tenor will make a lovely addition to a wedding ceremony or reception. For example, singing in the church or civil ceremony lifts the whole experience for you and your guests and makes for an even more special atmosphere. The singers listed can perform with an organist that's already in situ or can provide a harpist, guitarist, string quartet, accordionist or pianist to accompany them.

When booking Singers (Classical):

If your event is taking place in a religious setting, make sure that you check with your Vicar, Priest or Registrar about what is and isn't allowed. For example, at a civil ceremony you are usually not allowed to have any religious songs or readings and in some churches you are not allowed to have any secular songs, secular being anything that isn't religious.

Some classical singers will be instrumentalists themselves, others may use backing tracks to perform, and it is important to discuss this in advance with your prospective act.

Prices for Singers (Classical):

As a solo performer, most classical singers will charge a minimum of £150. However, if you seek to have an instrumentalist accompany them, there will be an additional charge. If you're looking to cut down on travel costs, use the "advanced search" feature to hire singers near you.
