Why not add that special something to your wedding music? There is nothing more beautiful than the sound of live, classical and professional music. Wedding Harpists and string quartets provide an elegant option not only for the music for the ceremony but also for the reception and wedding breakfast.

Wedding harpists provide a memorable and elegant slant to your wedding music. They can be an accompaniment during the wedding ceremony, a feature piece at the wedding reception or just provide relaxing background music at the wedding breakfast. Wedding harpists are great entertainment for guests and can create the perfect ambience as they arrive and photos are taken. They generate a beautiful atmosphere in the ceremony making the day special and memorable.

Your wedding music is constant throughout your wedding day and provides a recurring theme. Therefore, rather than having to organise a number of different musicians for all the different parts of the day, why not have a string quartet that can tailor their music to each aspect of your wedding. They can not only provide the music for the ceremony but can play at a wedding breakfast and reception. Any quartet worth their salt will be able to provide a wide repertoire of pieces and, given enough time, may be able to rehearse a specific piece, for example for signing music.

Wedding String Quartets generate a magical atmosphere that can fill any room with a celebratory, yet relaxed atmosphere. They provide excellent entertainment for guests and add that special something to your wedding music!

There are lots of highly trained and skilled young musicians out there who are desperate for money, so if you are not that bothered about the years of experience in the wedding industry then music students are straight up your street. Not only are they very talented and may be able to play some more modern pieces but they will also charge lower prices.
