Welcome to the choir booking guide, where we cover information on hire costs, song requests, equipment, choir size recommendations, and more.
What's the difference between a gospel choir and a traditional church choir?
Gospel choirs and traditional church choirs are both popular choices for weddings and special occasions, but there are key differences in the performance style.
A gospel choir typically performs lively and soulful gospel music rooted in African American traditions, with a focus on emotional expression and audience engagement. In contrast, a traditional church choir tends to have a more formal and reverential style of singing, primarily performing music intended for use in religious worship services.
What type of events are gospel choirs suitable for?
Our gospel choirs are incredibly versatile and can be the perfect addition to a wide range of events, including weddings, corporate events, special occasions, festivals, and more.
A gospel choir is perfect for wedding ceremonies, evening entertainment and corporate functions, creating a soulful and uplifting atmosphere that's sure to get the hairs on your arms tingling.
How much does it cost to hire a professional choir?
The cost of hiring a gospel choir for an event can vary depending on factors such as the size of the choir, the duration of the performance, the location of the event, and any additional equipment required. Drop us an enquiry on the artist's profile page for an exact quote based on your event.
What type of music do wedding gospel choirs perform?
Our wedding gospel choirs perform a wide range of music to suit your preferences and the overall tone of your wedding ceremony or reception.
This can include traditional gospel music, such as spirituals and hymns commonly associated with weddings, as well as contemporary gospel songs, modern pop, soul, R&B and popular love songs with gospel arrangements.
Popular songs include "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston, "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen, "Happy" by Pharrell Williams, and "Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours)" by Stevie Wonder, among others.
Can the choir learn and perform a specific song request?
Absolutely! Our gospel choirs are comprised of talented and experienced singers and musicians who are capable of learning and performing a wide range of gospel songs, including traditional hymns, contemporary gospel, and modern favourites. Just let us know your song or repertoire preferences, and we'll do our best to accommodate your requests.
What experience and credentials do your gospel singers have?
No strangers to the limelight, our gospel choirs boast a wealth of experience and credentials, having worked on numerous projects, including commercials, TV shows, and studio sessions.
Individually, our professional vocalists have collaborated with world-renowned artists such as Stevie Wonder, Pharrell Williams, Ellie Goulding, and Peter Gabriel.
Our gospel choirs have had the privilege of performing on BBC radio stations 1Xtra and Radio 2, and have been featured in sessions on BBC1 & ITV. They've also been invited to perform at esteemed events and festivals across the UK, including the BBC News Awards, and have shared the stage with renowned artists like Take That, Lulu, and Reef.
Will the choir provide their own equipment or do I need to provide it?
Our gospel choirs typically provide their own equipment, including microphones, sound system, stage piano and other musical instruments. However, every choir works differently, so it's best to discuss specific equipment requirements with us during the booking process to ensure that all technical aspects are covered.
What size choir is recommended for my event?
The size of the choir can vary depending on the size and nature of your event. We offer choirs of various sizes, ranging from duos and smaller vocal ensembles suitable for weddings to larger choirs with multiple singers. Our team can work with you to determine the appropriate size of the choir based on your event's needs, venue, and budget.
