Acoustic or electric strings give sFOURzando two distinct sounds to explore for your wedding, with duo, trio and quartet formats available. Their music can accompany guests arriving, the bridal procession, signing and departure from the ceremony, and they also perform during cocktail hour and dinner. Jazz, pop and rock are part of the repertoire, so you can consider different musical styles as well as the size and sound of the ensemble. The quartet combines two violins, viola and cello, while custom ensembles can include a singer or harp, adding further musical options to the standard string formats.

Good to know
What to expect
For a ceremony, the music is mapped to the moments rather than left running. Fifteen to twenty five minutes as guests arrive and find their seats, then the procession, then something under the signing of the register or a candle lighting, and finally the walk back out together. Plenty of couples keep them on afterwards for the cocktail hour or through dinner, where a quartet sits at a useful volume: audible, but nobody has to raise their voice to talk across a table. Dress is all black by default. If your day has a colour scheme or a theme, they'll dress to it as long as it's sorted in advance.
On the day
Roughly two metres by three of covered space, and it needs to be genuinely clear. Bows travel further than people expect, so guests seated or standing right on top of the players causes problems, and the instruments themselves are fragile enough that a bit of distance from small children and enthusiastic dancers is worth planning for. An armless chair for each musician is essential, since arms get in the way of playing. Power is only needed if they're on electric instruments. Everything else they bring. And if guests want to ask about the instruments, they're happy to talk.
Performance options
Every ensemble comes in acoustic or electric, and which one suits depends on the size of the room, the kind of event and the repertoire you pick. The duo is violin and cello, or two violins if you want a brighter sound. The trio runs violin, viola and cello, or two violins with cello. The quartet is the full arrangement: two violins, viola and cello. Beyond those, custom line-ups can be put together, adding a singer or a harp for instance, so it's worth asking if you have something particular in mind.
