Wedding Ceremony Music

There are various traditions associated with music for wedding ceremonies, but there are also certain guidelines to be adhered to. The Ardeton String Quartet can provide wedding ceremony music for church and civil weddings, and have experience of all types of situation. If you are having a civil ceremony it is important to note that music with religious connections is not allowed by law. If you are having a catholic ceremony you must not choose secular (non-religious) music. We are always happy to guide you in your choices but it is advisable to inform the person conducting the ceremony of the music you have selected.
