There's something truly magical about the moment the wedding ceremony begins. As your guests rise to their feet and your partner catches their first glimpse of you, the music sets the tone for one of the most memorable moments of the day.

Over the years, we've performed hundreds of bridal entrances, from timeless classical favourites such as Canon in D and Trumpet Voluntary to modern love songs by artists including Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Elton John and Christina Perri. Whether you're dreaming of a romantic, elegant entrance or something that reflects your personality as a couple, a live string quartet adds warmth, emotion and a touch of luxury that recorded music simply can't match.

Music for the signing of the register

The signing of the register is often one of the most relaxed parts of the ceremony, giving you a few quiet moments together while your guests enjoy live music. It's the perfect opportunity to include some of your favourite songs that may not fit elsewhere during the ceremony.

We typically perform two or three pieces during the signing, allowing couples to mix classical music with modern pop, film themes or even songs that hold special memories. From Bridgerton-inspired arrangements to beautiful contemporary love songs, this part of the ceremony offers the chance to create a personalised soundtrack while your photographer captures some of your first moments as newlyweds.

Watch a selection of our favourite signing of the register performances for inspiration and see how live music keeps the atmosphere flowing while those important formalities take place.

Music for the cocktail hour / drinks reception

Once the ceremony is over, the celebrations really begin. While you're enjoying photographs with your new spouse, your guests can relax with a glass of champagne, catch up with family and friends, and enjoy live music performed throughout your drinks reception.

Our string quartet provides elegant background music that creates a welcoming atmosphere without overpowering conversation. We perform a carefully chosen mix of modern chart hits, classical favourites, film music, jazz standards and popular wedding songs, ensuring there's something for every generation to enjoy.

Many couples tell us that their drinks reception is when guests first realise just how extensive a string quartet's repertoire can be. Hearing familiar songs by artists such as Coldplay, ABBA, Queen, Taylor Swift or The Beatles performed live on strings often becomes a real talking point and helps create the relaxed, joyful atmosphere that sets the tone for the rest of the celebrations.
