Lucky

The String Group has been busy arranging many special request for our brides and grooms! We are always excited to be able to work with our clients to have their favorite songs performed on their wedding day or at there special event for no additional charge.

In September we played at a lovely church wedding at Gray Gables Baptist Church in Callahan, FL. The bride and groom decided to have mostly classical pieces in their ceremony but still wanted to add one of their favorite songs to their ceremony, Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat. Lucky was performed by our trio as their recessional piece and couldn't have been more perfect for this happy couple, starting their lives as the new Mr. and Mrs.

Another favorite special request for us this year was the Hallelujah Chorus. While the Hallelujah Chorus isn't in any way a modern song - it is not your typical classical piece played at weddings!!! The Bride and Groom wanted to have the orchestral introduction of this song (about 10 seconds of it) played by our string quartet right after their first kiss as husband and wife. This couple and their story to the alter made for this request to be the cutest idea and the guests cheered for this couple while our quartet played the unmistakable, majestic introduction of the Hallelujah Chorus.
