The London Choral Service
When the music has to be perfect
Professional singers, choirs, and instrumentalists for funerals, weddings, memorials, and ceremonies across the United Kingdom. Over 150 auditioned musicians, hand-picked by an Oxford-trained Artistic Director.
Five-star rated by the families we’ve worked with. Musicians from the Royal Academy, the Royal College, and Britain’s leading conservatoires.
The right music for the moment
A single voice to hold a room in stillness. A four-part choir to carry a congregation through a hymn. A twelve-voice chorus with strings to fill a cathedral. From the most intimate to the grandest occasion, we find the right ensemble for your space and your vision.
You tell us what you need, or we help you decide. We handle rehearsals, repertoire, and logistics, so the music on the day is one less thing for you to think about.
Who we are
Every musician has been personally chosen by Artistic Director Luca Wetherall (Tutor in Music, University of Oxford) for both technical excellence and the rare ability to perform with genuine sensitivity when the occasion is personal. Graduates of the Royal Academy of Music, the Royal College of Music, and Britain's leading music colleges.
Their credits include the coronation of King Charles III, the Olympics closing ceremony, the Royal Albert Hall, Westminster Abbey, and St Paul's Cathedral. They perform with the BBC Proms, the Royal Philharmonic, and the English National Opera. They are also chosen for something the credits do not show: how they read a room and adjust to it on the day.
What families tell us
“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.”
“We were all over the place trying to organise everything and she just took the music completely off our hands. On the day it was honestly the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard.”
“I rang up not really knowing what I wanted and she couldn’t have been kinder. The quartet were outstanding — several people have asked me for the details since.”
Each booking is shaped around the family, the venue, and the date. Tell us about yours and we’ll suggest the musicians and the music.
