String Quartet - song suggestions

Why don't you try finding songs that you both like on you tube to see what they sound like by a string quartet. If 'can't help falling in love' brings a tear to your eyes then imagine what it will do to your guests on your wedding day, I think it would be perfect x

I think that sounds lovely.

Then you could have your cheery upbeat one on the way out!

We are having a quartet too - we are sticking with classical for the service and more popular modern choices for during drinks.

We chose from the quartet's list - can they send you their repetoire list for you to choose from? Ours was about 5 pages long so there were lots of options.

There happened to be a string quartet playing for a while at my hen night. They played loads of modern songs and all sounded great. Off the top of my head, I can remember Somewhere over the rainbow, Can't take my eyes off you, The Beach Boys song from Love Actually (God only knows?)

I don' t think this may be cheery, but I love the idea of strings playing 'Unchained Melody',, altho I would probably cry, cos it is one of those songs that touches me, lol.

One of my December brides from 2008 is a violinist, and she had the quartet she plays in at her wedding, and for her entrance, they played 'The Final Countdown', was was fun and different

We spent all last night on You Tube lol. We can't find a lot of the songs we like played by strings unfortunately.

We have got the quartet's song list so have been working out way through that. I think we've got a good idea of what we want now just got to decide what order!

Thanks for all the replies x

We had a string quartet at our wedding - I walked in to Canon in D, and for signing the register we had O Mio Babino Caro and Dance of the Gadfly.

What about She, O Sole Mio or Moon River? Trying to think what other things our quartet played at our reception after the service ... if i think of anything else I'll let you know!
