Chris and the Tallis Consort were absolutely amazing. I feel so lucky to have found them! From start to finish Chris was just fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. The singing was beautiful and they really made my father’s funeral such a moving service. I highly recommend them. Professional and so lovely and caring too. Thank you so much.

The vocal group created a beautiful sound, which filled the large church with heavenly music. Several people in the congregation thought it was a recording, such was the clarity and beauty of the vocals we heard.

We were over the moon with you guys, our best man heard you rehearsing when they arrived at the church and said it took their breath away! Your performances were incredible and we were so pleased to have your voices to bolster the hymn singing. All in all you guys were perfect, and were such lovely people to have as part of our ceremony. So many guests have commented on how brilliant the choir was and we can’t thank you enough for your really memorable contribution to our day!

Keira

I cannot praise you enough for singing at the wonderful concert yesterday afternoon - we were transported to Paradise! All of your voices are remarkable and so pure. In fact we were moved to tears at many points!
