🎶 Make Your Ceremony Memorable: Booking VWGC for Your Wedding
When it comes to live music, nothing sets the tone like an uplifting gospel choir — and Vocal Works Gospel Choir (VWGC) has built a reputation for transforming wedding ceremonies and receptions with soulful, joyous performances. Whether you want them for your aisle song, drinks reception, or both, planning ahead is key.
💍 Why Couples Choose VWGC
VWGC are a professional choir blending gospel, soul, pop, and contemporary music to create an unforgettable atmosphere at weddings throughout the UK and abroad. They typically perform with 3–6 singers (plus options for larger groups or solos) and often include a pianist in the line-up.
Their repertoire ranges from classic love songs like A Thousand Years and Songbird to pop hits including Ain’t No Mountain High Enough and Signed, Sealed, Delivered, through to gospel favourites such as Oh Happy Day, making them suitable for both church and civil ceremonies.
📅 When Should You Book VWGC?
🕊️ 12+ Months Before the Big Day — Ideal Booking Window
If you’re planning a wedding in peak season (late spring through early autumn), booking 12+ months in advance is wise. VWGC are in high demand, especially at popular venues and on weekend dates. Booking in advance gives you:
- Better chance of securing your chosen date and performance slot
- We’re more likely to include specific singers within the line-up
- Time to plan your song list and any special requests
- Time to coordinate logistics with your venue and ceremony timing
👉 This is especially important if you want them both for your ceremony and drinks reception. VWGC
🗓️ 6–9 Months Before — Still Good, But Get In Touch Soon!
If your wedding is more than six months away and VWGC still has availability, go for it. You’ll still have space to tailor your performance and organise timings with your planner and venue. However it’s harder to be 100% flexible.
⏰ 3–6 Months Before — Last-Minute, But Possible
Booking around this time can definitely still work — especially for less busy dates or mid-week weddings. Many couples have managed to secure VWGC at shorter notice, but if you’re in this timeframe reach out promptly — we are always happy to help where they can.
🔥 Very Last Minute (< 3 Months) — Do It Now!
If your wedding is less than three months away, it might still be possible to book VWGC — but availability may be limited, especially for weekend events. You may need to be flexible on:
- Number of singers available (e.g., trio vs. six voices)
- Whether the accompaniment is a pianist or tracks
- Special song arrangements
Still want to try? Some couples have succeeded in booking VWGC at short notice — but it’s harder, so contact them right away if you’re in this position.
🧠 Tips to Make Your Booking Smoother
Here’s how to make the most out of securing VWGC for your wedding:
🎤 Communicate Early and Clearly
Once booked, keep in touch about:
- Ceremony schedule
- Location (church, marquee, outside covered area)
- Exact song choices and any special pieces
VWGC can usually earn a special song ahead of time if given enough notice — a lovely personal touch.
📍 Check Logistical Details

💡 Book with Confidence

🎉 Final Thoughts
Live music can be one of the most magical elements of your wedding — especially when it’s a dynamic, soulful group like Vocal Works Gospel Choir. The general rule of thumb is:
📅 Book as early as possible — ideally 9–12 months before your wedding
📅 6–9 months is still good
📅 < 6 months requires quick action and flexibility
No matter when you book, planning ahead ensures that your wedding soundtrack is exactly what you dream of — powerful, uplifting, and uniquely you.
