Emmanuel Choir The choir are well known for singing at weddings around the United Kingdom.  A traditional robed choir providing high quality music is often the missing ingredient at many wedding services.  A beautiful church and delightful setting but empty choir stalls leaves a space which we can fill with sound and sight. As part of the service we provide we will meet you and visit the venue for your wedding to assess the best options available.  We will also discuss your music choices and offer help in arranging any musical aspect with which you may be worried or simply needing further advice. To help you decide what music you would like for your service, the choir has produced a recording and booklet.  The music on it is only a small selection of what is available.  It includes well-known traditional hymns, anthems and organ music and some lesser known ones.  To purchase a copy of Your Wedding please go to our Recordings page.

The Cantabile Ensemble is a group of Jersey based musicians specialising in Church Music who, between them, have many years of experience in providing music of a high standard in local churches, cathedrals, and for special occasions.  These days a lot of guests at weddings may be unfamiliar with the hymns or songs that you choose for your special day, and it is a good idea to have a choir to lead the singing.  The choir may also be able to sing during the signing of the register. The scope and ability of musical resources varies from church to church. Some have no choir at all, and in others, if you are getting married in the holiday season you may find a church choir is smaller than usual and unable to offer its usual repertoire. The Cantabile Ensemble can help and we will not accept your booking unless we are confident that we have sufficient musicians available to meet your musical requirements. Website
