Hey girls, I'm starting to look at ceremony musicians for the wedding. I'm thinking of something along the lines of a string trio/quartet since we want traditional music along with some Beatles stuff (both huge fans!) Here are the ones I've got on my list so far: Serenata Strings Aria Strings Four Strings Stradivarius Any ones I'm missing? Any thing other than a string trio/quartet that might work for what we want? Thanks in advance!

    We used Aria, and they were awesome!  I think a string trio/quartet would be perfect for what you have in mind.  We had traditional music walking down the aisle, and they played Journey-Don't Stop Believing after we were announced "husband and wife"....the guests loved it and loved them.  Good Luck!

    I second Aria Strings. Their website is www.ariastring.com. And phone # is 972-607-9704. I don't know what their prices are but they are very good. And I "think" you can have as many people in the group as you want. When I saw them, there were 6 people.

    Aria and Serenata have just about the exact same pricing if you are looking at 2 hour, for 1 hour Aria is cheaper, from what I remember Stradivarius is a little pricier and I think stephanie is using Four Strings I am pretty sure I will be going with Aria as well, I got a coupon from them at the bridal show

    Yes, I'm using Four Strings.  I can't remember how I found them actually.  All of these companies have very similar pricing I believe.

    I am using Serenata and I am really excited! I saw them at the bridal show and when I mentioned to the cellist that I was only particular about the cello he did a personal "audition" for me. He was great!

    We're using Stradivarius. I think they're a little more expensive but they played at my cousin's wedding and it was beautiful so I asked his wife who they used and booked them.

    Thanks girls! Ya'll are great help. Stephie, I've contacted Forte Strings. C&B, the prices for the 1st Hour with a quartet range from $400 to $700 from the quotes I've been getting so far.

    David Cason over thre has been nice to work with.  I went with a trio to save money and because I was worried about space.  We are also having them play during our cocktail hour.
