Yikes instrumental help!!

Hi Ladies
I just finished emailing two different string quartet groups for our Oct. 6th church wedding ceremony.  I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for instrumental/bands that they used for their ceremony.  Also if they are $500 or under that would be great. 

Thanks

I used Four Strings.  I really enjoyed working with them.  I used them for my ceremony and cocktail hour.  I think it was $500 for both, but I had a trio, not a quartet (and it was 2009). Looks like you could have a quartet for 1 hour for $550 or a trio for $425.

We used European Ensemble and worked with Edina (www.stringquartetdallas.com). I am not sure of the pricing as my mom coordinated it with them directly, but we were very pleased with their performance. I liked them because their catalog of songs to choose from also includes modern songs similar to Vitamin String Quartet. I believe clips to all the songs they can perform are on their website.
Who have you looked into so far?

I've only looked at gyros string quartet and they are a bit pricey.  But their selection is awesome and they seem to specialize in wedding ceremonys.
