St Aiden's Church Choir, Rochdale. The Choir’s main duty is to lead the congregation in Sunday Worship.  In addition, the choir is available for weddings, and it also performs outside of St. Aidan’s Church life at concerts etc., for which a fee is charged. There are frequent weddings at which the Choir is asked to sing, to lead the congregation during the hymns and to sing one or two anthems when the Bride and groom sign the register.  Whilst much of the music is similar, and the words of the marriage service do not change, the pleasure never wears off.  Each couple is different, and everyone at the wedding is very appreciative of the Choir’s contribution.

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.

Heritage Singers, Leeds, W. Yorkshire has provided Music for Weddings at Cathedrals, Churches and Stately Homes, and are delighted to provide this service at a time when so many churches are without a traditional Choir. The Choir will sing as guests arrive, during the register signing and in the leading of the Hymns. There is a minimum Charge for weddings (Dependant on distance, availability of singers and other requirements, Organists etc.) Although we can sometimes provide singers for Midweek Weddings availability is limited so early booking for all Weddings is advised - "The sight and sound of your splendid choir was one of the major highlights of the day"  Website

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

St Brides Church Choir, Fleet Street, London The choir in its present form (12 professional singers - 4 sopranos, 2 altos, 3 tenors and 3 basses) was established in time for the re-dedication service in 1957, and has remained more or less in this format ever since. The choir sings at two services each Sunday throughout the year (reducing to 8 singers during August) and also for numerous special services, mainly memorial services, weddings and carol services.
