Contemporary Selections

On a clear Saturday afternoon in Atlantic Beach, The String Group's Harp and Violin Duet played for a lovely wedding ceremony out on One Ocean Club Resort's beach front patio. The bride and groom wanted to use many of today's popular love ballads for their ceremony music and The String Group was excited to provide custom arrangements for their selections! Out of this couple's wish list of songs, we helped them select their ceremony music and then we were also able to arrange many of their remaining request for prelude music.

Trio with Trumpet Peformance

On Saturday afternoon, The String Group provided ceremony music for a wedding held at TPC Sawgrass. Weddings held at TPC are always spectacular and adding the trumpet to our trio's performance really put this ceremony over the top!

The String Group was more than happy to arrange One Hand, One Heart from Westside Story to be played right before the ceremony began! This song was played at the mother of the bride's wedding and we enjoyed adding this special touch to their wedding day! The parents and grandparents then came into Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. As a special arrangement, Canon in D was played for the bridal party processional and the bridal entrance! This arrangement flows well and makes for a very dramatic build up to the bridal fanfare. After the trio softly played the beginning of Canon in D for the bridesmaids and flower girls, David transitioned the group to a bridal fanfare for a dramatic Bridal Entrance with all the musicians playing the chorus of Canon in D. During the ceremony, the officiant led the couple to a sand ceremony where the trio played Twilight and Mist from Legends of the Falls. The ceremony ended with a recessional of The Wedding March and a guest postlude of Hornpipe. After the ceremony, Jody and Hannah played for the cocktail hour.

We enjoyed working to make this wedding ceremony all the bride and groom had wished for

and send them our congratulations!

"Another One Bites the Dust"

The String Group provided music for a wedding ceremony at the Hammock Beach Resort. Our String Trio played a prelude of classical music and then started the Ceremony with Phantom of the Opera's All I Ask Of You, arranged for The String Group by Hannah. The String Trio then played Horner's Twilight and Mist for The Bridal Party. The Bridal Processional began with a trumpet fanfare played by Ryan with the string trio joining, playing Canon in D as the bride made her way to her awaiting groom. During the unity candle ceremony, our trumpet player with strings played At Last which was also arranged for The String Group by David. After the officiant pronounced the new Mr. and Mrs. the String Trio played a recessional of Queen's Another One Bites the Dust, arranged by Hannah. The String Group enjoyed being apart of another gorgeous Florida Beach Wedding!

The String Group provided a harp and violin duet for a wedding ceremony this past weekend at St. Anastasia Catholic Church near St. Augustine. The couple requested a new arrangement for the bride to enter to, Dream Come True by the group Frozen Ghost (not your usual bridal processional). Our arranger and violinist, Hannah was able to arrange this special piece for harp and violin. Hannah and Stephanie performed this Bridal Processional with stunning results; it was absolutely beautiful and provided the unique touch that this couple was longing for! Stephanie also performed a harp solo during communion, Morning Has Broken.
At the last moment Hannah was called upon to play an accompaniment part to a song that the priest was to sing during the ceremony. During the Preists' Solo, Hannah was able to improvise harmonies that went beautifully with this solo. Guests sent their compliments to Hannah for adding this beautifully touch to the ceremony! The special music performed by both Hannah and Stephanie added so much to this lovely ceremony, Thank you Stephanie and Hannah!
