Wedding Music - SYDNEY - 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.

COCKTAILS & CANAPES:

For outdoor ceremonies, Stringspace are often asked to perform for guests whilst the bride and groom are socialising and/or having their photos taken. Stringspace usually recommends classical or jazz for this section.

RECEPTION/AFTER PARTY:

Stringspace is aware of the importance of their role in establishing a mood at your event.
String quartets are ideal at receptions and parties as stylish live background music.
Background cocktail piano music is another possibility for a wedding reception. You can book either classical or jazz piano with Stringspace too.
