about us
What we do
The Capitol Carolers have been one of the DMV’s premier professional caroling groups since 2014. We are local singers from Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia and sing traditional Christmas carols, Holiday music, and Hanukah songs. We sing a cappella so we are very flexible in how we support events for our clients. We work with audiences of all ages and tailor our performances to your needs. We will move around a venue if that is what you need or provide a more traditional concert. We work indoors and outside and perform at large venues such as Christmas street parties, Christmas fairs and large business events as well as house parties and smaller venues.
We work in Northern Virginia, DC and northern Maryland , but may be available for events further afield. Most events want two, three or four carolers but we have up to 20 in our company. We usually dress in ‘Victorian’ costume for our events, but can dress modern if that is what you need. Most events are an hour but we can perform for shorter or longer events. Larger facilities can coordinate events at multiple venues on the same site to benefit from discounts in pricing.

Wonderful memories made with Capitol Carolers!
Amy and Sharon did an amazing job. They were kind, professional, and very entertaining. My family really enjoyed joining in on the fun with bells they rang during certain songs. Not to mention they had voices of angels. Thank you Amy, Sharon, and Capitol Carolers for a wonderful memory made with my family this year.

A Knock-out!
We couldn’t have imagined a more professional duo who possessed stellar voices , lovely personalities and made our special evening outstanding! It was perfection ! Thank you for making some great memories for our event . Bravo! Ann Nov 2015
It was wonderful!! Thank you so much!!!”Mary Dec 23
Perfect
All went perfectly for our event, made all the more memorable by the wonderful, melodic, practiced voices of this group. Those in attendance have sent raves and even some who didn’t attend have expressed regret at not being there. The period costumes were “frosting on the cake”. I’ve had many ask if we can book them again and wonder at how I found them. I’m almost embarrassed to say how easy & smooth it was to work with Bernard Kellett. So everybody involved can be proud!
