Wedding and funeral choirs in Ealing
Known as the “Queen of the Suburbs,” the London Borough of Ealing is a leafy and diverse corner of west London with a proud community spirit. The London Choral Service provides conservatoire-trained singers and instrumentalists for funerals, weddings, memorials, and ceremonies across Ealing, Greenford, Hanwell, Northolt, and Southall.
Weddings at St Mary’s Ealing and Pitzhanger Manor
Ealing’s variety of wedding venues makes it easy to find a setting that reflects your personality as a couple. The elegant interior of St Mary’s Ealing provides a traditional backdrop for a choral wedding, while the Regency splendour of Pitzhanger Manor offers something more intimate and distinctive. Our singers can also perform at licensed venues across the borough, bringing beautiful live music to civil ceremonies and receptions alike. For inspiration on hymns, anthems, and processional music, take a look at our guide to choosing wedding hymns.
How many singers, from St Mary’s to Greenford Park
St Mary’s Ealing is a substantial parish church with a fine resonance, and for a wedding there a sextet usually feels right — large enough to lead congregational hymns, small enough not to crowd the chancel. South West Middlesex Crematorium runs to a fixed service length, so a quartet is generally the right call: enough to carry a hymn confidently, compact enough to fit the chapel. Greenford Park Cemetery is a similar pick. For a wedding at Pitzhanger Manor, where the rooms are more intimate, a quartet can feel more in keeping with the scale of the building. For a graveside or a short committal, a soloist is usually plenty. Our pricing page lists sizes and costs.
Funeral music in Ealing and at South West Middlesex Crematorium
We regularly sing at services throughout the borough, from the historic St Mary’s Ealing — one of west London’s finest parish churches — to Greenford Park Cemetery and, just over the borough boundary, South West Middlesex Crematorium. Our singers are equally at home in large, resonant naves and in the quieter setting of a crematorium chapel, adjusting their sound and repertoire to suit each space. For traditional hymns, a choral setting of a psalm, or a well-loved song arranged for voices, our funeral music guide can help you explore your options, and we are always happy to discuss your ideas by phone or email. Please get in touch at any time.
Families across Ealing trust us to bring warmth and professionalism to the most important of days. We liaise directly with funeral directors and clergy so that the musical elements of the service run to time, and we arrive in good time to rehearse and settle into the acoustic. From a single soloist singing Pie Jesu to a quartet performing a favourite hymn, we tailor the music to your wishes. You can find a full overview of how we work on our services page.
“I still can’t talk about it without welling up. The moment they started singing, the whole room just fell silent. Dad would have been so chuffed.”
Carol evenings across Ealing
December turns Ealing into a run of carol bookings: offices across the borough want a full evening, residents’ committees close to Pitzhanger Manor want singers who move through mulled wine and mince pies, and local venues sit somewhere in between. We cover the seated end with Christmas carol services and the roaming end by letting you hire carol singers instead.
