Wedding Ceremony Music

We were honoured to provide the music for the beautiful wedding ceremony of Hannah & Aaron at this beautiful South Yorkshire location.

From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere was filled with love and joy. The ceremony was enhanced by carefully chosen music that perfectly captured the couple’s personalities and the significance of the day:

Bridal Entrance: A Thousand Years – Christina Perri

Signing of the Register: Your Song – Elton John

Exit Music: Marry You – Bruno Mars

Hymns: All Things Bright and Beautiful and Amazing Grace to start and end the ceremony

Every piece added to the warmth and emotion of the celebration, creating memories that Hannah & Aaron — and their guests — will treasure forever.

We wish them a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and music! Thank you again for letting us be part of your beautiful story.

The Fern String Quartet can be very flexible at religious services. We are a multi and no faith group, with experience of performing for Church of England, Methodist, Baptist, Catholic and secular services. We welcome the opportunity to work with other musicians, such as singers or organists.

You may need to have a discussion with your Minister or Priest about what kind of music is allowed before making any choices.

Planning Music for a Church Wedding

• Can a string quartet play in church?

  Yes, we love performing in churches in and around South Yorkshire. The accustics are usually lovely and the music carries all the way down or up the aisle without the need for any amplification.

• Can we choose our own entrance music?

  Absolutley! We love couples to take control of their music choices. We have pre-selected ceremony repertoire, but you are welcome to suggest other music.

• How does live music work alongside hymns?

  Hymns are optional, but can be a lovely addition to a wedding, especially if they have meaning to the couple or the familes. They can be woven into your cermeony, with guidance from your minister about where to place them.

• Do you liaise with the vicar and organist?

  We will speak with the Vicar / Minister / Priest to ensure that we are all “singing from the same hymn sheet”. If there is an organist or separate musician, we will ensure we are aware of each other and that we know what has been agreed prior to the ceremony starting. We can of course work with any musician and collaborate with them.
