The music played on your wedding day is important in setting the tone and mood.

A special song shared between the newlyweds or an upbeat dance number that gets all the guests on the floor will be sure to make your wedding day unique and memorable.

Try to remember that there will be a variety of different people of varying age attending your wedding. This is important when selecting music for the day as most couples want to accommodate their guest’s tastes and play a wide variety of music from romantic ballads to the latest commercial tunes.

Music during the ceremony is usually of a softer and more romantic tone to ease the guests in. Instrumentals (like a string quartet) are a favourite amongst brides and serve as good unobtrusive background music.

If the ceremony is to be held in a church it is important to remember to ask about any restrictions with musical pieces. Some churches may request that only sacred music is featured.

When considering whether you will book a string quartet or a string trio, you most likely don’t know the difference between the two.

16 Strings String Quartet only offers the quartet option because we believe that four instruments create a much fuller and richer sound then just having three. With the extra violin, it allows us to include additional harmonic sounds , that builds the melody line creating a beautiful rich atmosphere. The additional instrument especially compliments pop and jazz music as it allows us to be more creative with our music arranging (more parts = fuller sound.)

But don’t take our word for it – we have prepared an excellent audio example for you to listen to, that will clearly present to you the difference in sound  between a trio and a quartet. To view please click here: http://www.16-strings.com/quartet-vs-trio
