We were totally thrilled with the music and everyone is still raving about it. We truly felt it was one of the high points of the celebration!” “We both just wanted to say thanks so much to the singers that sang at our wedding. Every single wedding guest commented how brilliant they were. The joy and happiness that you generated really set the tone for the day and we couldn’t have been happier with choosing the DGC. One particular couple who were down the back of the church and couldn’t see the choir from their seat, couldn't believe that there were only 5 singers - they thought there was a full choir of people singing!”

EXCEPTIONAL!!! We were blown away with the DGC's performance at our wedding earlier this month! They created an amazing atmosphere- surpassed all my expectations, they were so good I became so relaxed sitting at the top of the aisle as I was just enjoying the music and soaking it all in. They sounded better then the YouTube video, which are already very good. Great value for money, complete professionals, they go above and beyond to please you on your big day. Thank you Orla and co... You were one of my favour parts of the day- take my advice and book them now!

HI Orla, I want to say a massive and genuine thank you to Kevin and the other choir members that preformed so beautifully at our wedding on December 31st, 2015.

I have been a fan of the choir for a while, but I can honestly say my husband and I were absolutely blown away by them on the day. Their music evoked such emotion and happiness. As soon as the back door to the church opened, and I heard the first song, I was literally bopping, and dying to get in! Our expectations and hopes were absolutely surpassed.
Our guests had such high praise for the choir, and many were still talking about them months after. Everyone was genuinely so impressed, it really set the tone for a wonderful day. I can honestly say you are such utter professionals, worth every penny.
Thank you for making our special day extra special and truly memorable. My only regret is that I didn't get a chance to say hello and thank you in person to the choir members on the day. AMAZING choir!

Hi Orla,

Many thanks from me and Julia to you and the other singers for the tremendous performance that you put in at our wedding on Saturday. Almost all of the guests commented on the choir and the atmosphere that the singing helped create.

We both had the time of our lives and it started at the chapel!

To the Dublin Gospel Choir members who played at our wedding Sat July 17th.... Wow! We're both so glad you could perform at our wedding. We, along with our family and friends, were blown away with the talent.

We had chosen some songs we particularly liked that I believe you had to learn beforehand - well were in our element with the result!

I, the bride, found myself singing from my seat up at the altar and I'm sure I spotted my new husband tapping his feet to the beat.

We couldn't have asked for better. You made our wedding service and we are eternally grateful.

Thanks for creating such wonderful memories.

Hi Orla,

Can you pass on our deepest gratitude to the choir who sang at our wedding yesterday.

From start to finish, we felt so many emotions listening to them. They were the talk of the day. Absolutely unbelievable.

They really set us up for what turned out to be the best day of our lives.

Thanks again.

We had these guys for our wedding and they were simply fantastic. They were very nice to deal with and nothing was any trouble. In the buildup they gave great advice around song choices and on the day they were that good in the church that our wedding guests were clapping!! Id never seen that happen at a wedding before. As bride and groom we were thrilled with their performance and we have had many complimentary comments from our guests on the music in the church that day. They set the tone from the off and the very best thing i can say about them is, when we have watched back the wedding video the stand out bit for us is still the quality of these guys in the church. We never tire of listening to them that day. They are fantastic and i would advise any couples out there to get these guys for your big day!
You can not overlook them, they are class at what they do, they can adapt to any music for the day and they sound perfect, I cant not praise them highly enough.

We're delighted that we booked the Dublin Gospel Choir to sing at our ceremony. They were one of the highlights of the day and set a great atmosphere at the start of the day that really set the tone we wanted for the day. We got great feedback from our guests and a good few of friends have booked them for their own weddings as a result of seeing them at ours. Their arrangements are brilliant, and they have a really wide repertoire from classical to more modern lively songs, and were really accommodating in adding a few of our own requests to the list!

We were delighted that we asked the Dublin Gospel Choir to sign at our wedding ceremony. They added so much to the occasion and set a great atmosphere for the day. We got brilliant feedback from our guests and have had a number of friends book them for their own weddings having heard them at ours. Their arrangements are brilliant and they have a great repertoire of songs, from traditional to more lively and modern songs. I can't recommend them highly enough!

We were very fortunate to have the Dublin Gospel Choir perform at our wedding ceremony on the 10th of May 2013. They were absolutely awesome,we could not have wished or hoped for any better. We choose the songs but they performed them as good if not better than the original versions in our opinion. I would highly recommend them at a wedding as they were the talk of our wedding by most of the guests during the evening and there after. They brought something different but done with great professionalism.

?We were lucky enough to have the Dublin Gospel Choir sing at our wedding on the 23rd June 2012. All I can say is amazing. They built the atmosphere in the Church before I arrived by singing a few songs. The moment I arrived in the Church the atmosphere was electric with the singing. All the way throughout the ceremony each and every song was sung to perfection and moved us. The feedback we received from our guests was amazing and people never enjoyed a ceremony as much.
I always wanted the Dublin Gospel Choir sing at our wedding and I could not recommend them enough. It is important that you choose the right songs that suit the ceremony and yourself, the bride & groom, as it makes it all the more special.
The Choir were very professional and friendly. I would definitely choose them again?

We had an amazing outdoor wedding in August 2013 and the Dublin Gospel Choir really made the ceremony so special. The quality of sound was incredible even though we were outside and the range of sounds from each singer was just amazing - all uniquely incredible and together they were out of this world!
Working with Orla in the build up to the wedding was great too, she's so flexible and they were open to singing songs outside of their setlist without any concern. I would definitely recommend hiring the Dublin Gospel Choir for your special day! Thanks guys!!

We were lucky enough to have a group from the Dublin Gospel Choir sing at our wedding and, on a day of highlights, it really stands out as one of the outstanding memories.
One of the main talking-points of the reception was the music in the church with more than one guest saying they would have 'happily paid in to see that'.
The group were so professional and helpful in the run-up to the day, with advice on song-choice... they even managed to add a few songs of our choice to the repertoire to make it more personal.
Thanks so much for adding so much to our 'happy day'!!!
