Funeral music in Richmond upon Thames
We regularly perform at services throughout the borough, including St Mary Magdalene Richmond — a landmark church overlooking the Thames — Mortlake Crematorium, and St Anne’s Kew. Our singers also work at churches and chapels in Ham, Twickenham, Teddington, and Barnes, bringing the same care and professionalism to every service. Whether you would like a soloist singing a reflective piece or a quartet leading the congregation in traditional hymns, we help you find music that feels right for the person you are remembering. Our funeral music guide offers a wide range of suggestions, and we encourage you to get in touch to discuss your plans.
Mortlake Crematorium serves a wide area of south-west London, and our singers know its chapels well. We understand the particular timing constraints of crematorium services and work efficiently within them, ensuring that every note counts. Families often tell us that live singing brought a sense of occasion and tenderness that they had not expected. You can find out more about how we prepare for each service on our services page.
Wedding choirs in Richmond upon Thames
Richmond upon Thames is one of London’s most sought-after wedding locations, and it is easy to see why. The Tudor splendour of Hampton Court Chapel, the riverside elegance of St Mary Magdalene, and the botanical beauty of Kew all provide extraordinary settings for a marriage ceremony. Our singers can perform at any of these venues, as well as at the many licensed venues in Twickenham, Ham, and beyond. From triumphant hymns to tender motets, we work with each couple to create a musical programme that enhances the joy of the day. Our guide to choosing wedding hymns is a good place to start.
Ensembles for every occasion
Not every occasion calls for the same size of ensemble, and part of our job is helping you find the right balance for your venue, your budget, and the feeling you want to create. We offer everything from a single soloist — whose voice can hold a room in complete stillness — through to duets, quartets, octets, and a full twelve-voice chorus with instrumental accompaniment. Organists, harpists, and string players are also available. Visit our pricing page for a clear guide to ensemble sizes and costs.
“The singers were quite simply wonderful. They brought such warmth to the service — it was exactly what we had hoped for and more.”
