Music for every kind of wedding

The Stella Quartet of San Diego is LGBTQ+-owned. A string quartet works well for same-sex ceremonies because you can choose the music freely, from a classical processional to a pop song arranged for strings, without worrying about traditional bridal cues.

Where a quartet fits

• Ceremony prelude while guests arrive
• Processional and recessional
• Cocktail hour background music
• Dinner music at a quieter reception

Because the repertoire spans classical to pop, you can match the music to your taste. Ask whether the group can learn a song you love and how much notice that needs.

Questions for musicians

Ask how many minutes of music are included and how long the group needs for setup. Confirm they will bring their own stands and chairs, and whether they need shade or a cover outdoors. Ask for audio or video samples and a repertoire list.

Strings do not carry well in wind or loud rooms, and San Diego coastal venues can be breezy. Tell the musicians about your location in advance so they can plan around it.

Timing in San Diego

Spring and autumn weekends are popular, so reserve musicians early. Provide a timeline that lists each cue, such as the walk down the aisle and the signing. Agree on a time for sound check or a quick run-through before guests arrive, and give the group a clear way to reach your planner or venue coordinator on the day.
