So here's my visualisation: marquee on the lawn of a stately home, wedding ceremony starts at 2pm, the event ends at 8pm (this is according to the venue wedding planners). They provide a violin to play you down the aisle, it's there for one hour. Following the ceremony is champagne, canapés, tea and cake on the lawn/ in the marquee. Two questions:
1. Is it reasonable to ONLY have a string quarter for the afternoon (3-8pm), or should I look into a dj too? H2B and I, plus a lot of our guests, are fans of classical music, but a large part of my family think music only exists in the form of a dj, but I am not fond of modern music (unless it's country). Also given the scenario, classical fits, but does it fit all day?
2: Also, can you even have a dj booth in a marquee in a field? (the good news is I have a free dj in the form of my stepdad, who has offered).
On another note, what are your favourite/recommended songs to add to a playlist for a string quartet?
