RoseGold Choir were AMAZING! Throughout the whole process they have been incredible - before booking I spoke with Wura on the phone and we discussed our requirements. Then during these strange Covid times she has been extremely flexible and helpful. They sent videos of their rehearsal which was exciting in the run up but on the day they completely BLEW OUR EXPECTATIONS! All our guests were wowed by their performance and we were just so happy with it. Amazing talent from the team - thanks guys, we would definitely re-book!!!!

Absolutely amazing. Without doubt one of the highlights of our wedding day. Mal was fantastic, listened to what we wanted and provided guidance when I was completely clueless (which was most of the time!). I cannot recommend these guys highly enough - they are fabulous at what they do, exceptionally professional and added an extra special, unique touch to our big day. So many people mentioned their performances at the church and at the reception and I just wish I could have them at every event we have! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts....Mr & Mrs Russell xXx

I had Sarah-Jane as a soloist and l couldn't have wished for a better soprano, she was fantastic and a lovely person. Very professional and passionate about her singing and everyone commented on how good she was. It was a delight communicating with her prior to the event and she helped make it run smoothly. Thank you Sarah-Jane.

"Kathy from Soul Sanctuary Gospel Choir performed at my mother's funeral service and I have to say, she was a true blessing. She had the most beautiful soulful voice, and is gifted in her ability to channel our emotions into her tributes. She also attended the cemetery with us (which I expect not many would be comfortable to do) and again, she was very patient, kind and sensitive to our needs.
We've heard so many compliments for both Kathy and keyboard player Lenford and I will most definitely recommend and work with her again (hopefully for a happier occasion)"

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
Planning an event in Bristol and thinking a choir might be the missing piece? We’re with you. A well-chosen choir turns a good moment into the goosebump bit everyone remembers. Bristol is a brilliant city for vocal groups, from folky-pop mash-ups that suit creative launches to contemporary gospel that fills a room with joy. In this guide we’ll walk you through styles, spaces, budgets, timings, and the smart way to book. It’s written for anyone searching for choirs in Bristol, whether you’re organising a wedding, a media showcase, a street-food festival, a carol night, or an eco or cause-led gathering.
Why choose a choir for a Bristol event
Bristol loves live performance. A choir takes that energy and spreads it across the whole audience. You get rich harmony without needing a huge stage, fast set-ups, and a repertoire that can swing from intimate acoustic to big feel-good finales. For weddings, processional pieces and personalised arrangements stop time. For launches and office occasions, a cappella or beatbox-infused sets create a modern, creative tone. For street-food and outdoor festivals, folky-pop vocal groups bring warm, easy listening that encourages lingering. For carol nights, you already know the magic.
Styles you can book in the city
Bristol’s scene is varied, so it’s easy to tailor the sound to your crowd. Typical options include:
Contemporary gospel that blends classic spirituals with upbeat soul and pop, full of handclaps and bright harmonies.
A cappella groups with beatbox or vocal percussion, great for modern offices and brand activations.
Folky-pop ensembles, acoustic-first with guitars or light percussion, ideal for Harbourside spaces and warehouse studios.
Classical chamber choirs for ceremony moments in churches or manor houses, beautifully balanced and refined.
Show-choir energy with choreography for big set-piece reveals and high-impact openers.
Seasonal carol ensembles for winter gatherings, from cosy quartets to larger groups that lead public sing-alongs.
If you’re not sure what fits, think about the story you want your event to tell. Harbourside acoustic vibes call for lighter textures and fresh arrangements. Creative launches suit vocal effects and unexpected mash-ups. Eco and cause-led events benefit from organic, unplugged feels and meaningful lyric choices.
Where a choir sounds best in Bristol
Different rooms shape different experiences. Use the space you have and let the choir work with it.
Harbourside spaces reward acoustic or lightly amplified sets. Glass, water and open air create sparkle, so pick clear harmonies and crisp rhythms.

Curated suppliers
All Poptop’s suppliers are rigorously vetted and approved by our team of party experts, ensuring you book the very best.
Warehouse studios love rhythmic a cappella, gospel movement, and folky-pop beats. The industrial character pairs nicely with modern repertoire and a simple riser.
Manor houses offer natural reverb. Classical, choral pop ballads, and ceremony pieces soar without heavy tech.
Modern offices need tidy footprints and quick turnarounds. Choose compact line-ups that run off battery speakers or go fully acoustic between desks and breakout areas.
Churches are built for voices. You’ll want arrangements that make the most of the long tail of sound, plus a confident musical director to shape dynamics.
If the space is outdoors or semi-open, factor in ambient noise from water, traffic or footfall. A short, targeted set with punchy starts and familiar choruses keeps passers-by engaged and your crowd focused.
Repertoire, requests, and making it yours
Great choirs in Bristol are flexible. Expect set lists that travel from pop and soul to indie classics and folk standards. Most groups happily learn a few requests, especially first dances or aisle songs. If you’re planning a creative launch, brief the group early on brand tone, tempo, and any lyric lines you love. For eco or cause-led events, you might prefer acoustic-only, conscious song choices, or community sing-along moments that involve your guests.
Tips for shaping the music:
Share two or three “must-have” tracks and a short list of “avoid” songs. This gives clear direction without boxing the choir in.
Ask for a balance of tempos. A gentle opener, a middle lift, and an anthemic closer works everywhere.
If speeches or announcements sit between numbers, confirm cues so the director can time intros perfectly.
Line-ups, sound, and practicalities
Most choirs can scale. Bristol options run from tight quartets up to 12 to 20-strong ensembles. Smaller groups suit intimate ceremonies, modern offices, and compact Harbourside terraces. Mid-size groups bring presence to studios and festival stages without overwhelming logistics. Larger ensembles make a statement in churches and grand halls.
What to confirm:
Power and sound. Many choirs perform a cappella. If amplification is needed, clarify plug points, noise limits, and whether a compact PA is included.
Arrival and access. Loading points, lift sizes, and any security steps save time on the day.
Dress code. From relaxed folky-pop to formal concert black, agree what matches your look.
Breaks and sets. The most common format is two or three sets of 20 to 30 minutes. For processional or carol nights, you may want several short pop-ups across your schedule.
Weather plan. For outdoor bookings, provide cover options and a wet-weather route. Voices cope well, equipment less so.
Budgets and what affects price
For choirs in Bristol you should plan for a typical range of £550 to £1,200, depending on group size, repertoire complexity, travel, and sound needs. Smaller a cappella quartets sit at the lower end. Mid-size ensembles with light tech land in the middle. Larger show choirs, bespoke arrangements, or extended call times move you upward. Peak dates like December carol nights also book fast and may carry a premium. If you’re working to a specific figure, tell us up front and we’ll suggest line-ups and set formats that keep things on target.
How to make choirs work for these Bristol event types
Weddings
We love an aisle moment that feels effortless and personal. Consider a classical or acoustic folky-pop arrangement for the processional, one upbeat song to greet the confetti, and a short set during drinks to bridge the photo lull. If your evening band is setting up, a choir can cover the changeover and keep the atmosphere warm.
Media and creative launches
Lead with something fresh. A cappella pop with beatbox, a slick gospel uplift, or a clever mash-up that nods to the product story. Keep sets short, repeatable, and easy to drop between speeches and demos. Choose hooks people recognise, so cameras catch smiles and your clips feel instantly shareable.
Eco and cause-led events
Acoustic-forward choices suit the tone. Invite the choir to include songs with positive, forward-looking messages. Lower footprint tech, simple risers, and audience sing-along refrains help participation and align with values.
Street-food festivals
Think walk-up sets, roaming harmonies, and familiar chorus lines that encourage joining in. Folky-pop or upbeat gospel works beautifully, especially around busy serving times. Keep the PA light or go without if the site is compact.
Carol nights
Decide whether you want performance, community carolling, or a blend. Quartets create atmosphere for markets and courtyards. Larger groups lead sing-alongs in churches or larger squares. Plan a short practice carol with the audience so everyone feels involved.
