Our musicians have played at hundreds of weddings and have a unique understanding of providing wedding
and ceremony music. Live music will transform any ceremony or occasion.

The Giardino String Quartet can provide wedding music for your whole day or just the wedding ceremony itself, it all
depends on your needs. We offer the best live wedding music in London and South East of England.

Music will be played for the Processional (walking down the aisle), The Signing of the Register, and the
Recessional (walking up the aisle). The ensemble will also play during the Prelude (as the guests arrive) and
during the Postlude (as the guests leave).
