Imagine seven violinists winding up a staircase and greeting the guests at your wedding reception in joyful harmony, or a string quartet performing in a tranquil garden setting. With such an auspicious start, everything else at the most important party of your life simply falls into place.
Arlen Music can create a string ensemble that is perfect for your wedding ceremony, cocktail hour or dinner. We can even add other instruments to the mix, such as flute and trumpet. The possibilities are practically limitless. No matter what ensemble you create, you will enjoy the elegance and style that our world-class musicians bring to your event.
You pick the music, too. If you’re not hooked on classics, consider ordering up some contemporary music arranged especially for our string ensembles, such as elegant arrangements of Beatles hits or Coldplay favorites.
But the elegance and fun doesn’t end at the dinner hour. Our violins can also play alongside our bands for the dancing portion of your evening, adding a unique sound and energy to the performance that keeps your guests on the dance floor all night long!
In addition, we are proud to offer a group called the Sirens, which features 3-6 violinists performing a choreographed, fully-staged presentation of classic and contemporary rock tunes. Please visit our Sirens page for more information.
