Wedding Singing

Why hire a wedding singer?

So why hire a singer for your wedding or civil ceremony?

To make your special day stand out and be memorable. Hiring a wedding singer gives the service a real sense of occasion.To entertain your guests during the signing of the register.To include lyrics and songs that are personal to you.To add character to your ceremony and make it distinctive.As a romantic gesture which captures the spirit of your special day.To experience the power and emotion of live music. Hearing your favourite songs live is a powerful, memorable experience.

Personalised service

If you were to hire me the first thing we would do is have an initial consultation over the phone or face to face (if in Cardiff area). Details about the service e.g. the date of the ceremony, venue location and names of the songs you wanted me to sing during the service would be discussed. This is an important step as it helps me tailor the services for your special day.

Typically I am hired for the folloiwng stages of the ceremony although I am more than happy to discuss your individual requirements:

Before the wedding to set the scene.Signing of the register.In place of a hymn during the service.When the bride and groom are leaving.

Repertoire

As for what I am able to sing, well it encompasses a broad range in a tenor opera style. Please visit my "Hear me Sing" page to listen to samples of my work. Songs I have sung at previous events include:

The impossible dreamQuant ti partiro (Time to say goodbye) (Andrea Boccelli)You raise me up (Aled Jones)Ave Maria (Paul Potts)Por ti sere (Paul Potts)Somewhere (Rhydian)Smile (Josh Groban)Come fly with me (Michael Buble)

I also do requests as long as I have a few weeks notice which is something we can agree during the consultation.

Once we have chosen songs for various stages of the service, I can provide a quotation. As a guide I have two packages:

Two personalised music packages
