Make your special day sparkle with choral music from Steel City Choristers!

We would love to help make your big day as special and meaningful as possible. Filling your wedding service or ceremony with choral music is a great way to make it both uplifting and poignant. By helping you choose the right pieces of music, our singing will amplify the messages and help set the tone that you want for your wedding day.

We will give a strong lead to any hymns or songs you choose so that everyone feels confident to join in. And there’s nothing like choral music to bring a tingle to the spine during the signing of the register.

Our mixed-age choir of children and adults will not only make a wonderful sound, but provide a great visual backdrop against which to say your vows and commit your lives to each other.

The full choir, or perhaps a smaller group of adult singers, could also sing at your reception.

We are a charity that believes in the power of music to change lives. We make high quality choral music more accessible and relevant so that more people can experience its beauty and enjoy its benefits. We rely on the generosity of our supporters to cover the significant costs of providing a first-class musical education to our children.

The kind of music we can sing;

We can provide high quality choral music throughout your wedding service or ceremony. We will work with you to design our music around your needs, but typically this may include one or more choral anthems during the signing of the register or at other points in the ceremony, as well as a number of hymns or songs for everyone to sing. We could also sing one or more pieces while your guests arrive; an anthem during the entrance, or even a full choral eucharist or mass.

We have a wide repertoire and would be happy to suggest pieces that we might sing. We will send you links to listen to potential pieces, so that you can choose your favourites.

Here are a few examples of pieces in our repertoire that you may like at your wedding:

• Upon your Heart - Eleanor Daley
• If Ye Love Me - Thomas Tallis
• Mass for Five Voices - William Byrd
• Fly Me to the Moon - Bart Howard
• What a Wonderful World - Bob Thiele and George David Weiss
• You’ve got a Friend - Carole King

Our costs:

The cost of having us sing at your wedding will depend on a range of different things – including how much music you’d like us sing and so how long we will need to spend rehearsing; whether we need to buy sheet music or commission arrangements for any of the pieces you would like us to sing; whether we need to arrange an organist to accompany any of the pieces; and whether you’d like the full choir, or just our adults to sing for you.

100% of the funds we raise from singing at weddings go straight to support our charitable work to provide high quality musical training to our choristers, particularly ensuring that none of them are prevented by financial reasons from taking part in our most exciting activities, such as overseas tours.

Upon booking, we often ask for a deposit and suggest a donation based around what you would like us to do. If needed, we can then provide and book our own organist for your wedding. This involves a fixed additional fee of £150.

How to book us for your wedding:

Please contact us at enquiries@steelcitychoristers.org.uk and we will be happy to talk things through.

We suggest you get in touch as early as possible so that we are more likely to be able to sing for you on your chosen date.
