Weddings
Parkwest Strings combines artistic excellence, professionalism, and experience to make your wedding ceremony truly memorable.
Our goal is to perform exquisitely for your ceremony and have all the processions and entrances flow seamlessly with our music.
Before your wedding day, we will help you select the music and personalize a program. On your wedding day, we will take care of all the visual cues with your wedding director beforehand and adjust the tempo/length of songs according to the pace of the processions.
In a typical ceremony, we will perform at these moments:
- Twenty minutes of prelude music before the ceremony as guests are being seated
- Seating of mothers and grandmothers
- Processional of the wedding attendants
- The Bridal Processional
- Unity Candle/Communion/Reflection
- Recessional/exit music after the couple has been presented as husband and wife
- A short postlude as guests are leaving the ceremony
For cocktail hour, reception or special events, we play a wide variety of music including light classical, opera, tango, and popular Broadway showtunes. Our music will create an upbeat and festive atmosphere for your celebration.
We will also gladly accompany singers whenever possible. A short 30 minute rehearsal just before the prelude music is necessary for this service. Please inquire for more details.
The fee for our services is based upon your choice of ensemble and the length of engagement. Please contact us for availability and pricing. Should you decide to engage our services, a written contract will be issued. We require a 50% deposit to secure the date with the balance due the event day.
