Program Ideas
Are you a traditional or contemporary bride? Do you like Bach and Mozart but love Christina Perri and John Legend even more? Or do you wish to leave all traditions and expectations behind and pick songs that are meaningful only to the two of you? Tell us you feel and we will help you create a nice flow for your musical program.
We have put together 5 programs as a guide, just to give you ideas.
The parents’ seating, the bridal party processional, the Bride’s entrance, the couple’s exit song and the guest exit. All songs are just suggestions and they are replaceable and interchangeable.
If the song you wish to hear is not in our list, ask us via email. We may already have it, or we can create a custom arrangement for you, or you can purchase the proper string quartet sheet music for us and we are happy to learn it for you at no extra cost.
For mid-ceremony music - when the unity candle takes place - we recommend a quiet and slow paced song. We are happy to take suggestions for pretty songs or you can just leave it up to us! We will play something very soft while the minister talks about the significance of the unity candle.
We advise you to pick louder songs if you are getting married in a big outdoor space, so that all of your guests can hear the music.
If you are getting married in a church with strict rules, we know what to do and are always happy to collaborate with other musicians such as an organist or a singer. We can hire professional singers or a trumpeter as well if needed.
