Choir for hire: Music for your special day
Music has very special powers to celebrate joyful occasions and to comfort us in sad times. Congleton Singers is a small choir formed by some members of Congleton Choral Society. We have joined together as music-lovers to offer our support with singing at church weddings and funeral services.Prices are negotiable depending on your exact requirements. Our basic charges begin at £300 for weddings and £200 for funerals, for support in congregational hymn singing. We have a repertoire of anthems from which you can choose. We may also be able to cater for other requests, depending on access to appropriate music and timescales. We can also provide an accompanist to play keyboard or organ for your occasion.
