LeeAnn and Alex are married!

LeeAnn and Alex had a very cool ceremony theme based around nature, life and trees. It was very original and had meaningful music as well as some fun pieces! Their wedding was set in the beautiful, old, ornate Grace Episcopal Church off the capitol. Check out their musical selections for the string quartet:

Prelude: Across the Universe, Claire de Lune, Liebestraum, Aria and Musetta's Waltz

Parents and Bridal party processional: Canon in D

Bride's processional: Hallelujah

Unity Candle: One Hand, One Heart

Recessional: All I Ask of You

Postlude (the joyous pieces!): Marry Me, Bohemian Rhapsody, Sleeping Beauty Waltz and Hey Jude

Brittany and Scott are married!

Brittany and Scott were married at Burke Lutheran Church on September 17th, 2011. (I (Amber) was not playing with the quartet this weekend as it was my own brother's wedding in MN but I heard it was beautiful!

Brittany and Scott were engaged in France and picked a lot of music with the French theme in mind. It was a fun list of songs!

Prelude: Simple Gifts, Hey Jude, Wachet Auf, La Vie en Rose, Rondeau

Processional: Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by Bach and Wedding March by Mendelssohn (for the bride)

Unity Candle: Meditation from Thais

Recessional: Good Day Sunshine

Postlude: La Rejouissance, March from Marriage of Figaro, Sleeping Beauty Waltz, Arrival of Queen of Sheba

Congratulations to the couple!

Kristin and Peter are married!

The setting was ideal, the couple gorgeous and the day perfect.

Our quartet loved performing in the Assembly Room of Holy Wisdom Monastery. (The monastery is a newly-constructed building which opened in the fall of 2009. In late March 2010 the U.S. Green Building Council awarded Holy Wisdom Monastery a Platinum rating – the highest level of leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) certification available.) The room had superb sound and was a beautiful space!



Kristin and Peter were very thorough in their musical selections and they did a fantastic job. We played a lot of fun music and received many compliments from guests (especially those that listened a long time during the postlude as guests were ushered out to greet the newlywed couple)!

Perfidia, Across the Universe, Somewhere Out There, A Time for Us, Simple Gifts

Sara and Jason are married!

The Pecatonica String Quartet played Sara and Jason's beautiful wedding Sunday, September 4th at the Monona Terrace in Madison. Saturday was a dreary, drizzly day but Sunday was gorgeous! Sara and Jason's wedding was an elegant affair and ran quite smoothly thanks in part to their pastor. We don't have any pictures of the actual ceremony, unfortunately, but here's one of the beautiful day, Monona Terrace and the capitol.

What we played:

Processional:
The bridesmaids walked in to Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3. We hadn't done this one before as a processional but it was a great pick! Then Sara walked in to the elegant Trumpet Voluntary by Henry Purcell.

Unity Candle:
Yellow by Coldplay

Recessional:
Wedding March by Felix Mendelssohn

Postlude:
All You Need is Love by The Beatles

Their guests seemed ready to celebrate as the ceremony space cleared out quite quickly after the bride and groom exited together!

Thanks Sara and Jason for letting us be a part of your big day! Congratulations!
