Ceremony music

Can someone please suggest ceremony musicians? We are not sure what we want, but the string quartet sounds nice. Also, if you don't mind, whats the estaimated cost?

We are using 2 trumpets in addition to the organist the church provides. We are using Royal Brass..I think you can access them through this site. Cost is about $100 per musician per hour.

Re: Ceremony music

You can try Stan Weist. He is on this site I think. He does everything. We were going to go with him (he sent us a tape and they sounded great!) The price is $450 per musician, so if you have a trio, it's $1350 and a quartet is $1800. But we wound up going with a quartet that my band recommended because they sounded just as good and we got a deal - $1300 for a full quartet. I'm not sure of their name because like I said, I booked through my band. But if you want I could find out.

Royal Brass! I can't say enough good things about them. We used their quartet of flute and strings and had the trumpets. They were absolutely amazing and we received compliments on our ceremony from many people. The whole thing cost us $1200.

I received a CD sample from George Nichols b/c I am looking for a pianist for my ceremony. He was cheaper than others and sounded good. Maybe make a call to him. He is a vendor on this site.
