WEDDINGS AND RECEPTIONS
Saying 'I do' is a profound moment in our lives. The occasion calls for elegant, live music from a professional musical ensemble for your wedding day and we are here to make the process of hiring a String Quartet easy!
Being an award-winning wedding quartet and having performed for hundreds of weddings, the Adiamus ensemble is accustomed to providing a tailor-made service. There are a few components to a ceremony where music is usually required. These are the Processional, the signing of the Registry and the Recessional. Adiamus creates bespoke weddings, allowing you to choose the pieces of music you would like us to play. It's your day, and the music we play should be personal to you.
We're here to help you choose the best music for your perfect day!
We have helped many couples choose music for their wedding. We understand exactly what kind of music works for each part of the celebrations, and we would be delighted to guide you through the process.
Please contact us if you'd like help choosing music for your special day.

Example Wedding Order of Events & Music
1. PRE-CEREMONY
This is the music that sets the mood for your ceremony. Guests will be arriving and taking their positions. The groom and groomsmen will also be taking their positions.
The time leading up to the ceremony is often used as a reflection of why you and your guests are here, and music here to express love, light and a sense of calm is perfect to ease everyone present into what will be a very big moment in your lives together.
2. PROCESSIONAL
This is a truly marvelous moment - all eyes are on the bride and the music needs to match this beautiful vision. Generally and traditionally, a slow-to-moderate-paced piece of music suits well here to maintain a sense of calm and beauty.
3. SIGNING OF REGISTRY
You have now said your vows and require music which will be a reflection of the commitment you have just made to each other in front of your loved ones. It is now time to sit down at your signing table with your celebrant to sign very important paperwork, and a chance for the photographer to capture some special images in a relaxed setting.
4. RECESSIONAL
Congratulations - you are officially married and it is now time to celebrate! We recommend an upbeat piece of music so you can exit down the aisle and also greet family and friends on the way out if you wish.
5. DRINKS RECEPTION
It's time for your guests (and you!) to enjoy some nibbles and drinks after the ceremony, perhaps while you're having photos taken. For entertainment music, there is a vast array of music genres which can be played and would be suitable to listen to.
A lot of guests really 'tune-in' to the music at this point, so it's very important that they have some good music to listen to which suits everyone's tastes.
