traditional ceremony music girls....

RivieraBound

So my string quartet only plays traditional music for weddings... I am trying to figure out what to play and when.  I definitely don't want the bridal march.  What are you having done for:

Seating of the parents
Bridal party procession
Bride procession
Recession

TIA!

I'm a classical musician, and I play TONS of weddings! Do you mean they only play classical music, or that they only play typical WEDDINGY wedding music? Because there are some absolutely beautiful, completely atypical string quartet pieces you could have, and your guests wouldn't feel like they're at every other wedding ever!

I wish I could have them play atypical stuff, but they said they play "traditional wedding music".
