Hi Alice:
How are you? I’m writing to follow up on the ceremony music on June 21, 2008. I would like to extend my gratitude and compliments to your staff for a great job. The ceremony was beautiful and the music touched all our families and guests. Our many thanks to Elizabeth and Paul, they were wonderful to work with from the rehearsal to our wedding! If you need to be reimbursed for the song sheet, please let me know. Thanks so much for everything & for sending us your wonderful musicians. We loved the music! I will keep your references for family and friends for any future events.
Thanks again Alice!
Christine Wong

Alice -
I just wanted to say thanks for making my wedding so wonderful! Everyone enjoyed the music, especially me – even though I was trapped in a back room for most of it! It was just the right feel and tone for the wedding. Also, a special thanks to the pianist for accompaning the singers, with no way of hearing them! (I had given the space an amp and mic but somehow it never appeared!) It was a lovely ceremony and you helped make it such a hit! Thank you!
Christina Ernst

Hi Alice, I didn’t get a chance to tell you at the wedding… you were really wonderful. We were all so happy with your quartet…and you of course! Hope we get to work again together soon.

Let Ten Strings help you plan the music for the most important day of your life! We can provide traditional wedding repertoire or special arrangements of your favorite song. No request is too crazy! Ask us today to arrange the score for your special day.

If you’re like most brides and grooms, the music that will be played during your wedding ceremony is very important to you – but you may not have a clue how to go about selecting it! Here are some tips on how to select the music for your wedding.

If you’re getting married in a church or synagogue, there may be guidelines you must follow regarding the music performed during your ceremony. Ask well in advance if you must adhere to traditional or religious selections at your venue. If you’re planning a civil ceremony or getting married at a secular venue, the sky is the limit! Stick to traditional wedding music or have you favorite pop, rock, R&B or country song arranged for your processional or bridal entrance.
