Azalea Strings works with you to make your wedding a unique and special event. We have a large repertoire of beautiful classical music to perform as your guests arrive. Our elegant and timeless music will immediately transport your guests' thoughts from their everyday concerns to the larger, more transcendental idea that this day, they will bear witness to your vows of marriage. After your guests are seated and the wedding is about to begin, we play a special piece of your choice that will accompany the bridesmaids' entrance. When the party is assembled, we will perform the Processional, also of your choice. Finally, right after husband and wife are announced, we play the Recessional to accompany that joyful and exhilarating moment. Live musicians provide an organic unity to the ceremony because we can start and stop the music naturally as the moment demands. Azalea Strings understands that your wedding day is a special occasion. We will work hard to make sure that when that day comes, details and planning will have been finished long ago. You will be free to think about your future spouse, family, and friends!

We have listed some musical suggestions for your Processional and Recessional below. We also offer personal consultations to assist in your selection of those special pieces that you will remember for a lifetime.
