How far in advance do I need to book the Gospel Project for a wedding/function?

We accept bookings up to 18 months in advance. We recommend booking early, particularly if you are getting married on a Saturday, or during the summer months.

Are the Gospel Project available for weddings on weekdays?
Yes.

What does the group wear when performing?
The Gospel Project dress in black with purple ties.

I would like more than five singers for my wedding. Is this possible?
We can easily provide extra singers or extra musicians (such as bass guitar or percussion) if you would like a bigger sound. For rates per person contact Cathy on 087-6361314 /info@thegospelprojectireland.com  

Do I have to choose from the songs in your repertoire or can I have other songs for my wedding ceremony?
We will prepare up to two new songs for each wedding ceremony, in addition to our existing repertoire. You should consider how the songs you would like will sound when performed by a choir with a keyboard - for example you might like Eva Cassidy's version of 'Fields of Gold', but it is performed by a solo singer with a guitar and there is little scope for developing it as a choir song. We will happily give advice if you have questions in this area. Please note that we require at least 4 weeks' notice per  new song.

Will I be allowed to have the songs I want at a Catholic wedding ceremony?
All of our songs have a religious message and we have rarely met with any objections to our singing them in church. However, we strongly recommend that you consult with the celebrant about your choice of songs, particularly if we are preparing new material for you that we have not sung at weddings before.

I'm not sure what kind of songs are sung at different points during the wedding ceremony. Can you help?
We will happily make suggestions as to what songs are appropriate for the various stages of the ceremony. We would normally perform approximately 7 songs at each wedding ceremony, in addition to the mass parts (Gloria, Hallelujah etc…) and, if you wish, a psalm. (The psalm can also be read by a friend or relative). Remember that some of the songs -such as those at the Offertory and the Communion - will need to be fairly slow, while others - for example the song(s) at the signing of the register - can be more upbeat.

outside of Dublin?
We are happy to play outside of Dublin, provided our time and traveling expenses are covered. For rates contact info@thegospelprojectireland.com   

Do the Gospel Project perform at corporate events?

Do the Gospel Project do any recording work with other bands/songwriters?
