I dreamed of a wedding of elaborate elegance…
a church filled with flowers, friends, and beautiful music…
I asked him what kind of a wedding he wished for…
He said “one that would make you my wife”
Typical wedding ceremony
We will start playing prelude music about a half hour before your ceremony starts as your guests start arriving.
And we will play a special selection for the mothers and grandmothers to be seated.
We will play processional music for the bridesmaids and special music for the bride to walk down the aisle.
Special music can also be played during the ceremony, for a unity candle lighting ceremony, communion, etc.
Music will then be played for the bride and groom to recess from the altar, and postlude music as your guests are leaving.
A typical wedding ceremony $975.00
Our musicians will work very closely with you helping you choose music that is perfect for you.
If there is music that you want that is not in our repertoire, we will do our best to find it for you.
If it is necessary to purchase sheet music or make a string quartet arrangement from a piano score there may be an additional charge.
We get many compliments on the way we sound and we hear from a lot of brides that they appreciate how easy we are to work with.

We have played several hundred wedding Masses and are very familiar with the timing of the music.
There are some quartets that will not perform at a Catholic Mass without an organist.
We are very familiar with the Catholic Mass and non-Mass ceremonies. We are very comfortable with or without an organist.

Outdoor Weddings:
We want to provide the best possible performance for your event. Outdoor ceremonies create more challenges for musicians.
But we have to consider weather conditions and insects. Our instruments can be damaged by extreme temperatures, rain, or direct sunlight.
We enjoy playing outside under many conditions, however what is acceptable for a guest for comfort is more difficult for musicians to deal with when trying to perform our best for your event.
So please be considerate and provide a safe, comfortable location for us to perform.
Funerals and Memorials
The Shrewsbury String Quartet adds expressive and touching music to many funerals and memorials every year. We feel that at funerals and memorials we are part of the Liturgy.
