Vital Recitals

We are a group of experienced and professional musicians who enjoy a good tune!

We offer an extensive repertoire of wedding classics from both the classical and popular music repertoire, with some interesting alternatives from our list of client’s requests. We really do enjoy putting together a programme of music that is exactly right for your wedding day. We want to perform the music that is special to you. We have lots of ideas and suggestions for the repertoire that is most suitable for your ceremony and reception, and plenty of time to talk it through. As soon as you have chosen your music and instruments, soloist or ensemble, you can leave the rest to us. Alternatively, just leave it all to us and we will provide a lovely musical moment for every part of your day. Your guests will appreciate your choice of real live music, whether heralding the entrance of the bride or playing quietly in the background during their meal.

The fee for piano hire and/or musicians, ensemble or soloist, start from £450.00.
