What our Happy Couples are Saying ...
"We had Melbourne Contemporary Choir do all the songs (as a surprise for my wife) at our wedding ceremony recently and wow, they were just awesome! All our guests raved about the wow factor they added to the ceremony - From our initial contact with them right to the big day they were responsive, consultative, creative and down to earth, caring and thoughtful. Doing our entrance song (which was an original song co-written for my wife) was not an issue for them at all, making it sound better than the original! Jason the choir director (legend) even organised a surprise for myself and my wife in having the producer write a violinist part to our Ed Sheeran song "Perfect" - They also did an additional song for our guests when we were late! They happily liaised directly with the wedding co-ordinator at the venue to ensure all went smoothly on the day! We not only got a beautiful wedding ceremony but made some new friends! We will always have the most beautiful memory to watch back that MCCHOIR helped us create and were a part of! Big hugs, Lori and Mandy xxx"

The Geelong Football Club would highly recommend working with Melbourne Contemporary Choir, they were a really energetic, friendly and talented group to work with on our major event. They helped bring our vision into a reality and were a huge asset to our night, we will be working with you again in the future for sure!

The Geelong Cats Carji Greeve’s Medal Awards night at Crown Palladium was really one to remember for me.

I'm so glad I got to be a part of it with you all. I love when everything just falls into place! Everyone had the time of their life and the evening was just a massive success.

My producer and I were well impressed by your own drive and dedication. Managing a team requires such true leadership skills you have in spades!

You and the MCCHOIR gang really made the experience so enjoyable for me. You're all such lovely warm fun people as if sounding great just wasn't enough!

Much love everyone!

​​To celebrate Lululemon's first year partnering with Sole Motive for Run Melbourne, our vision was to create on course entertainment that was high-energy, uplighting and motivating. Jason and the Melbourne Contemporary Choir took our brief on board and delivered a diverse and inspiring set list that connected with the runners competing in the event. The joy and delight on the faces of those passing by was priceless. The Melbourne Contemporary Choir were impressive not only in their professionalism, but in their passion and commitment to their performance. We can't wait for the chance to work with the MCCHOIR again in the future!

It was great having Melbourne Contemporary Choir involved at the MCG as part of Mastercard's "Barbie Army" launch. They brought a lot of enthusiasm and were there in great voice for two long days. There were a couple of die-hard cricket fans, who really made the difference and demonstrated how much these guys really care about what they do. Everyone was great to work with and certainly made an impact in a venue as big as the 'G'!

What Our Singers are Saying

High quality leadership and just the best group of people - diverse age range and come from all over the place to be part of MCCHOIR's great sound. How fabulous to work through each of the parts of a new original song and be able to sound awesome when the parts come together on the same night. Performances have been varied and exhilarating experiences.

JACQUE ROSS
I attended last night and felt so welcomed. Such a beautiful bunch of friendly people who really know how to sing and have fun! I signed up immediately and am looking forward to what is ahead.

JENNY WHITE
Singing with others is such a connecting experience and MCCHOIR is a fantastic blend of both challenge and fun. Every week, with our very talented choir leads, we work on the details of a piece, building our vocal technique and how we blend as a group, then adding layers of expression and movement to create what is always a unique performance. I love that feeling when we are in the pocket, lifting each other up to higher heights. It’s exhilarating!
