Wedding Music - Melbourne - STRINGSPACE STRING QUARTET

There are 4 main sections in a wedding ceremony where music is usually performed:

• 1) As guests arrive and are seated
• 2) Processional - bridal party entrance music
• 3) Signing of the Register
• 4) Recessional

Timing: From experience, Stringspace recommends booking for 1.5 hours for a wedding ceremony to cover all 4 sections.

Stringspace testimonials:

Many, many thanks for organising such a beautiful string quartet for my wedding (Sunday 27 July 2008 - Butleigh Wootton, Melbourne). They were superb. I could rave on and on how beautiful they were - I especially noticed the bridal entry (naturally) which is such a romantic piece and difficult to pull off and they were just fabulous. I so wanted to go over and speak to them after the ceremony, but was swept off my feet by well-wishing guests and then rushed inside the mansion for photos. Please convey my thanks to the individual members who made up the quartet on the day. It all went off so well, and the quartet were just fantastic. I was (am) so happy. Anthea
