Real wedding inspiration featuring Palmetto Strings

Show all photos
Seating of the family, usually grandmothers and mothers, bridal party, officiant, groomsmen, bridesmaids, any flower girls/ring bearers, bride, and optional interludes.
Having a coordinator or a designated person that can give the ensemble a clear cue/wave when the ceremony is about to start greatly helps transition from the prelude music to the first song during the ceremony as well as the other songs. During the music planning, our ensemble liaison will ask how many people will be walking down during the ceremony.
We have been performing for weddings over 12+ years so we rarely ever need to attend the rehearsal. We also perform full time in orchestras and area ensembles so scheduling can make it difficult.
We arrange songs for our ensemble when sheet music for strings cannot be bought or found anywhere. Therefore it has to be arranged for the ensemble. There would be a fee to arrange each song. We write out the music note by note for each instrument which can take several hours. The music would be created specifically for your event.
We do! We are based in Charleston but have performed weddings in Myrtle Beach, Savannah, as well as Columbia and Sumter areas over the years.
During the hotter months, the musicians wear all black. During the rest of the year, men can wear a black or dark suit, women wear all black. If its a beach ceremony or very casual we can also able to do white shirt and khaki combination. We are pretty flexible!
