Like tasteful floral arrangements, wedding music should add to the occasion, and not be intrusive such that it might take away from the focus of the event: the bride, the ceremony, the bride, the groom, and the bride.
Attendees should walk away with only the pleasant memory of how nice the music was. This is not spotlight time for the musicians.
Such was the occasion for my daughter's wedding, backed by the FTSQ. From their extensive repertoire, specific pieces were selected by my daughter for certain moments during the ceremony. A member of the quartet came to the rehearsal, asked questions and took notes.
The final product was a very tasteful addition to the wedding. The musicians kept a keen eye on the ceremony and knew when to add filler music when certain moments dragged. This prevented awkward silences and maintained the flow of the ceremony.
An excellent job !

About Final Touch String Quartet
The women of the Final Touch String Quartet met as members of the Chandler Symphony Orchestra. While primarily stay-at-home Moms, their love for playing classical music in an ensemble setting, as well as in the symphonic realm drew them together. In addition to weddings, private parties and corporate events the Final Touch String Quartet has represented the Chandler Symphony Orchestra at civic functions, including the Mayoral "State of the City" reception for the city of Chandle, AZr. Along with traditional music such as Mozart and Haydn quartets, the musicians of the Final Touch String Quartet also enjoy spicing up their repetoire with a few sultry tangos as well as a handful of playful works by LeRoy Anderson.
