We recommend starting the process around 3 months before your wedding. While it’s a detail that is often left to the last minute, giving it careful thought well in advance makes a significant difference.

Selecting the right songs and hymns can be more time-consuming than you think. Starting early ensures we have plenty of time to discuss your vision, find the perfect pieces that reflect you as a couple, and rehearse them to perfection.

Please note: For civil partnerships and civil marriage ceremonies, the choice of music is often required to be non-religious. We can discuss appropriate and beautiful alternatives.

This is a very common situation, and you are not alone! Many couples are unsure where to start with their ceremony music, and that is exactly where I can help.

My process begins with a conversation about the atmosphere and emotion you want to create. Do you envision something classic and traditional, or modern and romantic? Once I understand your vision, I can provide a curated list of song suggestions tailored specifically to your taste.

I have an extensive repertoire of suitable pieces for every part of your ceremony, from the processional to the signing of the register. This includes everything from traditional hymns and classical arias to contemporary ballads, ensuring we find the perfect soundtrack for your day.

I bring over a decade of professional singing experience to every ceremony, having performed at countless weddings where precision and emotional delivery are paramount.

My background includes prestigious performances that attest to the highest standards of quality and reliability, including:

1. I have performed on the West End stage with the renowned D’Oyly Carte opera company.
2. I have had the honour of singing for members of the Royal Family.
3. My career has included international tours with a variety of acclaimed opera and production companies.

This extensive experience ensures that your ceremony music is not only beautiful but also delivered with the utmost professionalism, allowing you to relax and trust in a flawless performance on your most important day.

To avoid disappointment, I strongly advise getting in touch as soon as your date and venue are confirmed.

My diary is often reserved many months in advance, especially for popular spring, summer, and autumn dates. An early booking is the best way to guarantee my availability for your special day and ensures we have ample time to plan your perfect musical programme without any rush.

There are several key moments where a live vocal performance can beautifully enhance your ceremony. The most popular choice is during the signing of the register, providing a poignant and memorable backdrop for that special moment.

However, I am flexible and can perform at various points to create a continuous atmosphere of elegance:

As guests are seated, to set a welcoming tone.

During the processional, as you walk down the aisle.

After the recessional, as you make your way back up the aisle.

During your drinks reception, to continue the celebration.

My fees are transparent and are based on the number of pieces you select, the length of time involved, and whether you wish to include additional instrumentalists. I have a network of exceptional musicians, including harpists, guitarists, and string quartets, and can provide recommendations to create your ideal ensemble.

Yes, there is an additional fee for any audio or video recording of my performance intended for distribution. This is a standard requirement that aligns with the Incorporated Society of Musicians code of practice and protects the copyright of the musical arrangements and the performance itself.

I am also happy to assist with the practical side of your ceremony music. This includes liaising directly with your church or venue to confirm the facilities available, such as the type of piano or sound system, to ensure we produce the perfect musical effect for your day. Alternatively, I can simply provide advice to guide your conversations with them.
