What Does a Wedding Ceremony String Quartet Actually Play?

If you hire a group who genuinely reads music and has real experience, the honest answer is almost anything. Most songs already have sheet music out there somewhere, and if they don't, an experienced quartet can arrange one for you.

There's a common myth that a wedding ceremony string quartet only plays classical music, and sure, some groups do stick to that. But plenty of us play modern music too. The trick is finding musicians who actually enjoy that modern repertoire, not ones who are just sight-reading it cold on the day. If a quartet has never really heard the song before and is only following notes on a page, you can usually tell. At Luxe Harmony, we only bring in musicians who genuinely like playing modern music, because if you don't enjoy a song, it's hard to play it well.
