As
well as the more formal concerts the Choir gives its support to a number
of weddings each year. Not only does the Choir give added vitality to
the singing of hymns but often KMC entertains guests for 15 minutes or
so before the service. It will respond where possible by singing
favourite songs of the Bride and Groom during the signing of the
register and the very presence of men in scarlet jackets gives a
marvellous backdrop to the proceedings. |

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. |
