Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What kinds of events do you play for?
A. We specialize in weddings, but also play for private parties, special fundraisers, and corporate functions.

Q. When you play for weddings, when do you play and for how long?
A. We generally play while guests arrive (prelude) approximately 20-30 minutes, followed by ceremony music which includes the processional music for the bridal party, bride, and recessional. We can also provide special ceremony music (re: for candlelight, sand ceremonies). Following the ceremony, we play during the cocktail hour while photographs are being taken,approximately one hour.
We can also provide dinner music for a dinner reception.

Q. Do you play outside?
A. Yes, outside weddings are our specialty. We are happy to play for any event out doors. We do request full shade and protection from precipitation to protect our instruments.
(Please note that due to cooler temperatures, outdoor weddings after Columbus Day Weekend are not desirable for our musicians or our instruments.)

Q. What about church weddings?
A. Yes, we play in churches or other indoor venues.

Q. How do I select the music? What about special music requests?
A. We are happy to honor special requests, provided that we
can find appropriate arrangements for our string
quartet. If this cannot be done, we will offer some
alternative pieces. It is important to let the quartet know
as soon as possible if you have a special request. If you have nothing particular in mind, we'll be happy to offer suggestions.

Q. Will I have a contact person?
A. Yes, one of the quartet members will be continually in touch with you from the time you contact us until your special day. You are free to call or e-mail us at any time.

Q. Do you need electricity?
A. No, we do not. Our only requirement is four straight
backed chairs (no arms), and protection from the sun and precipitation.

Q. How do you dress?
A. We dress in all black, or black and white.
Dress may vary for less formal events.

Q. Do you need to attend the wedding rehearsal?
A. It is really not necessary for us to attend the wedding rehearsal. We are very adept at timing the music to the right length. As long as we can meet with either the officiant or wedding planner just prior to the ceremony we will be all set.

Q. How far in advance should I call to book the quartet?
A. The sooner the better. We require a deposit to secure the date. The balance is due approximately 2 weeks prior to the event. Dates are reserved on a "first come, first served" basis.
(We will hold the date upon inquiry but can cannot guarantee the date until it is secured with a deposit.) However, don't hesitate to call on short notice. There have been times when we've been able to accommodate even very late bookings.

Q. How far will you travel?
A. Up to approximately 70 miles from North Conway. Willing to negotiate anything beyond 70 miles.
