Repertoire
Below is a list of all of the musical pieces that Ceremonious
Strings offers, along with suggested pieces of music for each part of the
wedding ceremony. Keep in mind that these are merely suggestions of what we
consider "traditional" pieces. Many Brides choose to use
"non-traditional" music as well. In the event that the Bride has a
special request for a song, we can certainly do our best to find an arrangement
to fit our ensemble and suit your desires! It is important to keep in mind the
atmosphere of the wedding ceremony when choosing music, as many sacred
institutions have guidelines as to what can be performed.
