Wedding Music – Sydney | Melbourne | Canberra & Adelaide
Music has an important and transformative role to play in your ceremony. It sets the mood and atmosphere for your day.
There are 4 main sections in a wedding ceremony where music is usually performed:
1) As guests arrive and are seated
2) Processional – As you walk down the aisle.
3) Signing of the Register – While you sign your papers (approx. 2 songs).
4) Recessional – Immediately after you are announced as married.
Timing: From experience, Stringspace recommends booking for 1.25 – 1.5 hours for a wedding ceremony to cover all 4 sections. 1-hour bookings are also an option.

Wedding Repertoire:
AS GUESTS ARRIVE: Stringspace perform beautiful classical music such as Bach, Mozart & Handel, or we can also play jazz or pop (or a mix of styles).
We recommend that you choose 4 songs from our repertoire list for the ceremony:
1 song for the Processional
2 songs for the Signing
1 song for the Recessional
Alternatively, if you prefer to simply choose the style (e.g. stylish classical, jazz or pop) you can leave the rest up to us.
Catholic mass: If you are having a full Catholic Mass please let us know at the time of booking, as we can also include music for Offertory and Communion.
