Funeral and wedding choirs in Liverpool
Liverpool is a city shaped by music — from the great cathedral choral tradition on St James’s Mount to the hymns sung in parish churches across Merseyside. Funerals, weddings, memorials — our conservatoire-trained singers and instrumentalists work across Liverpool and the surrounding boroughs of Wirral, Sefton, Knowsley, and St Helens.
Funeral music in Liverpool
When someone you love has died, the thought of choosing music for their funeral can feel like yet another burden at an already painful time. We understand, and we are here to make that part easier. Our singers perform at funerals and memorial services across Liverpool and Merseyside, bringing the same care and professionalism whether the service takes place in a grand cathedral or a small crematorium chapel. A single voice singing Ave Maria can bring a quiet stillness to a room, while a four-part choir lifting The Lord Is My Shepherd can carry a congregation through a moment that might otherwise feel impossible.
We regularly sing at Liverpool Cathedral (the Anglican cathedral on St James’s Mount), the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King on Mount Pleasant, and at churches and chapels throughout the city and wider Merseyside. We also perform at Anfield Crematorium, Thornton Crematorium, and other crematoriums across the region. Every family is different, and there is no single right answer. If you are unsure where to begin, our funeral music guide offers thoughtful suggestions for hymns, solos, and choral works that suit church and crematorium services alike. You are also very welcome to telephone us for an informal conversation — there is never any pressure or obligation.
Wedding choirs and singers
Liverpool and Merseyside have a wide range of wedding venues, from the sandstone nave of Liverpool Cathedral to Victorian churches in Woolton, Aigburth, and Crosby, and the waterfront settings along the Pier Head. A live choir does what a recording cannot: carry the hymns for guests who have not sung since school, and follow them with a solo during the signing of the register that holds the room still. Our choirs and soloists perform at weddings of every size, denomination, and tradition, and we will learn a piece that holds particular meaning for the couple. If you are still deciding on your music, our guide to choosing wedding hymns is a good place to start.
Ensembles and pricing
We offer everything from a single soloist to a chorus of twelve voices, and can pair singers with an organist, harpist, or string quartet. Whether you book a choir for St James’s Mount or a soloist for Anfield, the musicians come from a small team of professionals we select ourselves. Tell us which building you have booked, from the Metropolitan Cathedral to a Victorian church in Woolton, and how the day will run, and we can suggest an ensemble and give you an accurate quote. Our pricing page gives the fee for each standard package, and we tell you before booking if travel to Wirral, Sefton, Knowsley or St Helens adds a cost.
“I had no idea where to start with the music — it all felt a bit overwhelming. He talked me through a few options and within ten minutes we had it sorted. Such a weight off my mind.”
