Why You Should Consider a String Quartet for Your Event
A string quartet brings warmth and intimacy to any wedding ceremony, civil union or other special event and guarantees a touch of sophistication and elegance. There are several reasons to consider hiring a string quartet for your special day. A string quartet can provide so much more than just background music! The combination of violins, viola and cello creating beautiful music together makes for a memorable and unbeatable day; one you and your guests won’t soon forget.
Create a Relaxed Environment for Your Guests
Musicians are very passionate about their music and enjoy sharing it with others. They are often happy to play during various stages of your event, for example, during a formal ceremony, during a cocktail hour or pre-reception gathering, even adding their repertoire to a sit-down dinner. Because they only often need four armless chairs, they can easily situate themselves from one setting to another. Their subtle accompaniment allows for guests to meet, greet, and chat without having to raise their voices. It makes for a relaxed and soothing environment.
Host an Indoor Event, or an Outdoor One
Florida affords you the opportunity to host your event indoors or outdoors pretty much throughout the entire year. A string quartet can play either indoors or outdoors with little to no setup. However, instruments require a climate-controlled environment. If they are to be subject to extreme temperatures and/or other weather conditions, your musicians will require adequate coverage from said elements. Be sure to plan accordingly!
So Much More Than Classical Music
In addition to their portability, a string quartet offers versatility in their music offerings so you get more musical styles and genres for your money. These musicians don’t just play classical music; they can often create a customized playlist of your all-time favorites to enhance the memory of your special day. You can really tug at the heartstrings of your guests or have them dancing in their seats by surprising them with non-traditional music. String musicians can typically accommodate music requests to include pop and Top-40, jazz standards, hymns, Broadway showtunes, Latin, holiday favorites, and more!
Finding the Perfect String Quartet for Your Needs
If you are not sure where to find a string quartet for your event, start with an internet search. You are likely to find many talented and experienced musicians in your area. Look for ratings and testimonials. Check out their websites, and request a quote. If you are completely overwhelmed, you can always ask the Event Planner at your venue. They may be able to refer you to several vendors whom they have worked with before. Referrals and preferred partnerships are crucial to vendors, so if they are preferred by the Event Planner you can relax knowing that there is a good rapport. And knowing they come highly recommended alleviates some burden so you can concentrate on other elements of your special day.
