Manila Vocal Ensemble


Wedding Choir/Reception Band

A group of music teachers from various schools in Manila with heavenly voices! My ninong/cousin based in Vienna first heard them in one of their concert/performances in Europe. Right after their number, my cousin followed them to the backstage and booked them for our wedding! Wasn’t that sweet?

When they got back in Manila, we immediately scheduled an appointment to hear them sing. We asked them if they could sing our favorite Bukas Palad and Himig Heswita songs, they sang it for us. There were some glitches on songs they were not familiar with but they assured us that they will work on it. We were confident they could sing it.

Except for Glory to God that they replaced with another version withhout our knowing it and for some technical glitches (lack of proper coordination between COTH and our coordinators), they were heavenly especially when they sang the bridal march (a separate review on this).

They also sang in our reception and they showcased their songs that wowed the audience abroad (and our guests and us, too!). They can sing almost all songs – after all they were all musically gifted!

Their group is composed of 4 female and two male singers (one male singer played the organ) and they did pretty well!

Rave: Like, like.

Rant: They could’ve told us they will not sing the version of the song that we requested and my husband said he noticed some off-key notes from the organ. But for the unbelievably low rate they charged us, they were certainly worth more than what we paid for !
