Historic Riverside

Friday evening The String Group played for a wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in Jacksonville's historic riverside. The ceremony took place at Riverside Baptist Church. The church was built in the 1920s and its' sanctuary boasts a Gothic style vaulted ceiling, triple Romanesque windows and many Italian Renaissance-style paintings. The bride was truly a princess is this unforgettable European-inspired sanctuary.

The String Group's Quartet played under a gorgeous carved stone archway while guests made their way into the sanctuary. The Grandparents and Parents entered the ceremony to Bach's Air on G. Canon in D was played for the Wedding Party Processional, and the Bride made her dramatic entrance to the traditional Bridal Chorus. The quartet softly played Twilight and Mist as the bride and groom symbolized their marriage with a unity candle. The Ceremony ended with a recessional of Mendelssohn's traditional Wedding March. After a guest postlude, the Quartet made their way to The Garden Club to play for the cocktail hour. It was a lovely evening and The String Group wishes the new Mr. and Mrs. a beautiful life together!
