Strings for LGBTQ+ couples

Signature Strings is LGBTQ+-owned. For many couples, music is the most personal part of a ceremony, and an ensemble that treats your song choices with care helps you walk, exchange vows and leave to music that means something to you.

The ensembles

• String ensembles for ceremonies and receptions
• Solo performances
• Classical and contemporary styles
• Orchestral and Broadway repertoire
• Music for weddings, private occasions and corporate events

Choosing your ensemble

A solo violin or cello suits a small ceremony. A duo or trio adds richness, and a quartet fills a larger room or an outdoor space. Think about your guest count and your venue, and ask the musicians what size they recommend. Outdoor ceremonies in the Tri-State area can be affected by wind and temperature, which can alter tuning, so plan a shaded setup or an indoor option.

Contemporary arrangements of pop songs are common for processionals. Send the pieces you want and ask how much notice the group needs to prepare a new arrangement.

Timeline and logistics

• Decide where music is needed, such as arrival, processional, recessional and cocktail hour
• Confirm setup time and any rehearsal at the venue
• Ask about travel and parking for the musicians
• Arrange chairs, shade and power if amplification is used

Request a recording and put the date, times and repertoire in a written agreement.
