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 !
