Picture the bride preparing to enter the wedding venue, the groom nervously awaiting her arrival. Suddenly, a wedding string quartet opens with the first strains of the happy couple’s favourite song. The bride steps down the aisle to this symphony, while family and friends dab their eyes. The groom, however, looks only at the bride; in this moment, his world populated only by her and by the delicate notes of the violins, viola and cello.
It’s Hollywood moments like this that make a wedding unforgettable. As a result, every year thousands of almost-weds hire wedding string quartets to add some romance to their day. Nothing captures the sentimental like the mingling tones of violins, viola and cello, and nothing evokes sophistication like the four instruments’ flowing harmonies.
Perfect for the processional and for the recessional, wedding string quartets also provide ideal background music for the drinks reception and the wedding breakfast. And why not hire them out for the reception, too, with many quartets performing lively, classical arrangements of the biggest chart-topping pop hits and much-loved film and TV soundtracks.
