We have performed hundreds of weddings and will be very happy to assist you with making your dream come true. Whether you desire a traditional classical ambiance or something wild and unusual, we can assist you in your special day.
Here is an outline of the music for wedding ceremonies:
Please note that many of the "pop" songs are only available for the string quartet.
Seating of Guests
15 - 30 minutes prior to the processional. Usually this music is selected by the ensemble. Sometimes the client will make general or very specific selections. Suggestions: Anything you want.
