About the Mayfair Mints

The Mayfair Mints are an experienced, vibrant vocal ensemble who give high-quality, stylishly engaging performances at private parties, corporate events, weddings and other important occasions.

Our choice of music is selected to reflect the tone of each event, so we first provide a personal consultation to establish the aims of your occasion and the types of guest, and decide a suitable set of music. Through this consultation, you can be sure that your event will be a delightful and memorable occasion.

“Your enthusiasm shines through and is infectious for the audience. Thank you for a superb performance!”

The singers

The Mayfair Mints have been carefully hand-picked by director-singer Leonora Dawson-Bowling. Between us, we have studied across the prestigious UK music colleges and performed at exclusive venues including the Ritz Hotel, Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and Fortnum and Mason. We are usually a quintet or an octet but can take requests for smaller or larger groups into consideration.

Beyond the fine quality singing, the Mayfair Mints have that little extra something that makes us perfect for the different requirements of important occasions:

Versatility

We can switch easily between beautiful choral singing, large opera solos, and light jazz arrangements, pop songs and show tunes.

We perform with a true sense of zest, emotion and communication which will engage with your guests. (We are, however, also happy to provide low key background music that adds subtle ambience to the occasion.)

Positive, practical mindset

We understand that you want the maximum of quality with the minimum of fuss. We’ll turn up, perform exquisitely and glamorously, whilst calmly getting on with the practicalities behind the scenes so you can have the confidence to focus where your energy is needed and, more to the point, enjoy the occasion unfolding.

The music

We have a large and diverse repertoire of music that we would be delighted to perform at your event. We are also open to particular requests – an old favourite, a piece with particular meaning or a unique especially composed piece.

Our repertoire includes:

  • ‘Light’ classical
  • Opera
  • Madrigals
  • ‘Traditional’ classical
    (Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic, 20th Century and Contemporary)
  • Jazz arrangements
  • Pop and rock arrangements
  • Show tune arrangements
  • Humorous songs
  • Unique bespoke piece* about your guest of honour, product or company

*We can write and perform humorous, sentimental or promotional piece of music about a guest of honour, organisation or product. These personal pieces always prove to be a great hit with guests.

See our sample repertoire list for more details.

No-commitment consultation

If you are interested in finding out more about using us for your event, we offer an initial no-commitment 10- to 15-minute personal consultation by phone. Simply fill in the contact form. We will then be in touch to arrange this consultation which we will use to gain a sense of your requirements.

Every event is different. So we will discuss your event and establish your vision for it and how we can best match it within our wide-ranging repertoire. We will give you a sense of possible styles and pieces we would perform to enhance your occasion, consider the likely length of the performance, if the music is background or a centre-stage performance and whether you would like a bespoke piece written, as well as discussing the practicalities of the event setting.

It may be that you already have a strong idea of the music you would like. It may be that you just want to add some stylish sophistication to your event but don’t want to be weighed down with details – you just want to tell us briefly about the event and then confidently leave us to provide the final polished musical product without another thought.

When we’ve established your requirements and outlined a programme which fits well with your vision, we can confirm our quote for the event.

Booking us

If you continue on to book us, once the contract is signed and deposit received, we provide a further consultation (by phone or in person) as needed to establish any final specifics and practicalities. We will reconfirm the details in writing, leaving you confident everything will run beautifully smoothly.
