Weddings at St. Michael's Cathedral Basilica

Congratulations! If you have already made a booking for your wedding date at St. Michael’s Cathedral Basilica and would like to have music provided by St. Michael’s Choir School, please complete a Wedding Music Booking Form, and you will be contacted by our Wedding Music coordinator. St. Michael’s Choir School can provide one of the following:

  • Organist – $300.00
  • Organist and soloist – $550.00
  • Organist and Wedding Choir (availability may vary) (15-20 choristers with a conductor) – $2000.00
  • Administrative fee to contract instrumentalists in addition to Organist - $150

A Wedding Choir will arrive at least one hour before your wedding, and will wear dress uniform for the ceremony (blazer, dress shirt and tie, grey uniform trousers and black dress shoes). They will be chaperoned by their conductor.

All couples completing a Wedding Music Booking Form must have already had their first meeting with a priest at St. Michael’s Cathedral Basilica. Please do not use this form unless you have already had this meeting and received a wedding booklet from the priest.

Music for Special Events

Do you have a corporate event, community concert or parish celebration that you would like to invite St. Michael’s Choir School to participate in? Please submit your request using the form below. Please let us know if your event supports a charitable cause. Requests will be considered in the order they are received, so please ensure you submit your request at least six weeks before an event. Christmas and Easter are especially busy seasons at St. Michael’s Choir School, and choir availability is limited.

St. Michael’s Choir School provides primarily sacred music. While we welcome requests for specific pieces, we are not always able to accommodate these requests due to the amount of rehearsal time required for students to learn brand new pieces. The Choir School’s mission is to provide sacred music to St. Michael’s Cathedral Basilica, and the demands required to fulfill this duty limit the rehearsal time available to prepare other pieces.

National Anthems

St. Michael’s Choir School has provided professional quality national anthems for sporting events, government functions, regional trade conferences and national corporate gatherings. Generally, a choir of 8-12 singers provided to an event within the City of Toronto costs approximately $500, though this price is subject to review depending on the specific needs of your event. Choirs will be chaperoned by at least one member of staff, and, where necessary, will include a student or staff accompanist and conductor. To request a choir for a national anthem at your event, please fill out the form below.

Booking Requests

Your event request will be considered by the staff at St. Michael's Choir School, and we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know whether or not a choir can be provided for your event. Please note that while we endeavor to provide music to as many events as we can, we experience particularly busy seasons during the Christmas period and in spring.
