A solo soprano singing Ave Maria during the signing of the register is a beautiful and classy way to allow your guests to reflect, while you enjoy signing on the dotted line and making your marriage legal.


At Castle Events we have an impressive list of repertoire as well as top-line arrangers who can take any piece and create a classy, classical arrangement that will be unique to your day. So if you've got an idea - we've got a solution.


If solo soprano isn't for you, here are some other solo options to get you thinking:


  • Classical Tenor
  • Classical Baritone
  • Jazz Singer
  • Crossover Singer
  • Harp
  • Bagpipes
  • Accoustic/Classical Guitar
  • Accordian
  • Violin
  • Cello

Some of the most beautiful classical music is written for choirs and whereever your ceremony is taking place it can be the perfect accompaniment to your ceremony. 


There is a wide variety of religious and secular pieces available, but often a bespoke arrange of your favourite pop song can be just the thing. Luckily our pool of arrangers are at hand to create the perfectly pitched arrangement. What could be nicer than your own, original version of Uptown Funk, or .... sung by a small choir or quartet in close harmony.



Our pool of top-end pianists and organists have played all over the world and can turn their fingers to anything you might need. 


There's nothing quite like the soothing tones of Debussy's Claire de lune to help calm the nerves before the service or Toccata by Widor on the organ as you leave after the ceremony. But maybe you would like a calm, romantic arrangement of your favourite song ringing from a beautiful piano? Whatever you're imagining, we can make it a reality.

A string quartet is quintissential wedding accompaniment and for good reason. There's almost nothing that doesn't sound classy played by a string quartet and our pool of ensembles have a huge amount of repertoire for you to choose from. If by some chance they don't already know what you want - you've guessed it - our fantastic arrangers will put together a wonderful bespoke arrangement for you.


If you're looking for something slightly different, have a look through these options:


  • Brass quintet/band
  • Piano Trio (Piano, Violin and Cello)
  • Jazz Trio
  • Folk band
