Weddings

Just Strings is a unique and perfect complement to your special day. We have a wealth of experience and success in providing live music for civil, humanist and church wedding ceremonies and for the celebrations afterwards.

We would usually start playing 15-30 minutes before the ceremony begins, thus setting the scene as the guests arrive. We then play for the entrance of the bride, during the signing of the register and for the exit of the newlyweds. The quartet would then move outside to entertain the guests during the photographs and later return inside for the wedding breakfast, playing up to speeches.

We suggest traditional music for the ceremony, followed by more contemporary styles during the drinks reception and meal.

Whether your wedding be church, civil or humanist, we tailor each engagement to your individual requirements. However, civil ceremonies do not permit music of a religious nature, so hymns or pieces with sacred connections are not permitted.

The following pieces are suggestions for during the ceremony:-

Processional Recessional

Beethoven Ode to Joy

Clarke Trumpet Voluntary

Handel La Rejouissance from the Fireworks Suite, Hornpipe from the Water Music, Arrival of the Queen of Sheba

Mendelssohn Wedding March

Pachelbel Canon in D

Signing The Register

Bach Air from Suite in D

Delibes Flower Duet

Elgar Chanson de Matin

Handel Air from the Water Music

Massenet Meditation

Pachelbel Canon

Vivaldi Spring from the Four Seasons
