The Clerkes at Beverley Minster

Book the Clerkes of All Saints for your church wedding anywhere in Yorkshire.

We're an accomplished church chamber choir. Our singers have experience of many different styles of music, and have performed in many different settings, including dozens of weddings in the last couple of years.

"Just a brief note from us both to say thank-you to you and your choir for singing so wonderfully at our wedding. You made a beautiful sound. Your arrangement of 'God Only Knows' was terrific -- I hope you get to do that again. Everyone who was at the wedding remarked how much they enjoyed your singing; it added something magical to the day."

~ Ian and Alice, married summer 2011

  • We'll take the time to discuss your requirements with you in detail, so you can specify exactly what you'd like from us.
  • We're happy to learn new songs at no additional charge, or we can recommend options to suit your taste from our extensive range of wedding music.
  • We'll work closely with the organist and any other musicians at your chosen church.
  • If you'd like something really unique, we can create a new choral arrangement of your favourite song, or you can even commission a new piece of music from one of our resident composers.

What it costs

Our normal charge for a church wedding is £300. There are no hidden extras -- we don't ask for a rehearsal fee, travel expenses or a sheet music charge.

If you want a special arrangement of a piece of music that isn't already written for choir, the charge for this will be £50. As for a completely new composition, the cost varies depending on the length and complexity of the music, but it's normally in the region of £200-£400. These fees go directly to the composer or arranger of your music, not to the choir.

Our singers are volunteers, so our income from weddings helps to pay for the expenses we incur when we sing for free at other church services.

We can also put you in touch with organists. We have an excellent organist who is used to playing with us. His fee is likely to be around £70.
