Caledon Wedding String Quartet: Kira and Jakub

Kira and Jakub hired our violin and cello duo to perform for their wedding ceremony and cocktail reception at Banty’s Roost Country Club. The wedding ceremony was outdoors, I must admit that the music selections that were chosen really helped to accentuate and project a fresh outdoor feeling. The first song that started the ceremony was Mouret Rondeau—this song is stately and very easy for the bridesmaids to walk to as it has a clear cut beat. Sometimes the music for the bride will contrast the bridesmaids, but not in this case. Spring by Vivaldi really amped things up and created both a fresh feeling as well as a sense of excitement, which is how it should be for the bride on the wedding day! The signing music took a step back in terms of the vivacity, but also moved into a more lush and rich tonal palette, as our musicians performed the beautiful meditation from Thais by Jules Massenet. With a traditional ending to the ceremony, the bride and groom walked off as husband and wife to Mendellsohn’s wedding march.

String Ensemble Vancouver: Andrea and Russell

Our violin and cello duo, trio and string quartet play many different kinds of events, though most often, we are hired to perform for a wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and sometimes the dinner as well. It’s not very often when we are hired only for the cocktail hour, but it is actually refreshing to play after the ceremony has ended, as we did at the Cecil Green Park House in Vancouver. This is a great option for brides and grooms that perhaps have the music sorted out for the ceremony, but want something special and unique, as well as upbeat and fun for the cocktail hour. As always we enjoyed every minute and received lost of compliments from the guests!
