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.
Rated 5 stars by every family we’ve worked with. Musicians from the Royal Academy, 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 let us guide you — and we handle every detail, so the music on the day is one less thing to worry about. Rehearsals, repertoire, logistics — all taken care of.
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 deeply 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. Most importantly: they understand that technique alone is not enough when the occasion matters.
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.”
Every family’s occasion is different. Tell us about yours and we’ll suggest the right musicians and music.
