Testimonials<\/h4>\n

The Maidstone Singers can make a wedding or other \u00a0event just that bit more special, as others have found:<\/p>\n

We would like to thank you very much for the wonderful singing and song arrangements you performed at our wedding at Nettlestead Place. We had the best day ever and you played a big part in making our day so special. Our friends and family have all said how much they enjoyed the singing and how it helped to create an amazing atmosphere\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

from Heidi and Mark re their wedding at Nettlestead Place<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for a quite brilliant performance at our wedding. The rendition of One Hand One Heart was very moving and the arrangement of Jack Johnson\u2019s Better Together was pure genius.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Arranging Your Programme<\/h4>\n

We can arrange a small group of the Maidstone Singers or the whole ensemble.\u00a0 You can request music that is in our repertoire already or it is possible for our Music Director to arrange a favourite song for you personally. You can tailor your music choice to suit you, whether you want rousing or serene, old or modern or a mixture of everything.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not too sure what you want then our Music Director, Kathryn Ridgeway, will work with you to create your programme. Our fees will range from a guide price of \u00a3300 depending on your wishes.<\/p>\n
