8 Great String Quartets For Your Wedding
A string quartet or string trio is a classic choice of wedding entertainment for many couples every year. Their elegant, soothing sound creates a sophisticated atmosphere, and their presence is a visual spectable your guests will enjoy.
A wedding string quartet could play in a variety of scenarios on your big day. They can set the scene as your guests are filling the ceremony room, play you down the aisle and during the signing of the register. You can also have the quartet play afterwards at the drinks reception before your guests are seated at dinner.
When it comes to choosing the pieces your string quartet will play, it's often helpful to request the repetoire list your chosen quartet has in place. You're likely to see a variety of classical pieces, as well as some string arrangements of modern songs. Work with your quartet to arrange the programme for the day, and be ready to take their advice as to what might work well. The quartet will likely have played at hundreds of weddings, thus have the knowledge and experience to ensure your musical accompaniment goes without a hitch.
