Meridian String Quartet

Meridian String Quartet is a professional classical ensemble based in Arlington, Texas. The group plays for couples across the Dallas and Fort Worth area and describes its music as high quality and affordable.

Why they suit LGBTQ+ couples

Meridian String Quartet is LGBTQ+-owned. Live music shapes the mood of a ceremony, and you may want pieces that suit two brides, two grooms or a processional with no traditional roles. A small ensemble can adapt, so ask about arranging a favorite song for strings.

The ensemble

The group plays violin, viola, cello and trumpet. Its musicians hold music degrees and have performed in chamber recitals, concerts and festivals, and some have played with regional orchestras and symphonies. That background suits a ceremony where timing and polish matter.

Choosing your music

Make a short list before you book: a processional, a recessional and any moment you want scored, such as a vow exchange or a unity ritual. Ask whether the quartet will learn a pop or film song and how far ahead you need to submit it.

Check the practical details too. Ask how much space the players need, whether they bring their own stands and lighting, and what they need from your venue, such as shade, power for any equipment and a place to warm up. Outdoor Texas ceremonies can be hard on instruments in heat, so confirm a backup plan.

Where they play

The ensemble serves Dallas, Fort Worth and nearby cities from its base in Arlington. Ask about travel beyond that area.
