Music Fees for Weddings (from January 31st 2009)

 

 

There are a number of possible combinations of musicians to perform at your ceremony, the most common being listed here.

All fees include an initial consultation if required.

 

  1. Organist only                                        £110

 

  1. Organist + one soloist                           £230

 

  1. Organist + approved guest singer(s)      £130

 

  1. Organist + choir (quartet of singers)      £440

 

  1. Organist + choir with soloist                  £460

 

Are you intending to video or record the ceremony in any way? If so, please note carefully:

The recording consent/performance fees (in addition to the copyright licence) are:

Video: 100% of total fees         Audio only (tape, minidisc etc): 50% of total fees   

The person making the recording is responsible for obtaining the requisite licence to record copyright material.

Please note therefore that only an approved videographer may record in the church itself.

The musicians reserve the right to refuse to play or sing should any unauthorised person use any kind of

recording device (including digital cameras and mobile phones) during the service without prior arrangement.

This is mainly because the performers themselves are liable for knowingly performing

copyright material which is being recorded without a licence, and could be prosecuted.

 

Payment is usually made on the day in cash. Payment by cheque is possible but you need to consult the organist, as he/she will pay the singers on the day.

Please arrange for the best man, an usher or another person to pay the musicians before the ceremony – you will all be busy with photographs after it!
