Weddings

Terzina - the perfect ensemble for your wedding dayTerzina is the perfect chamber music ensemble to add that special something to your wedding day. Having live wedding music is a wonderful way to add to the atmosphere of your event. What else could compete with walking down the aisle to the sound of live music, beautifully performed? It also gives you the perfect way to keep your guests entertained whilst you are signing the register. Then we can help create the ambience you desire for the post-ceremony reception. From the elegant and stylish sounds of Mozart and Bach, to the fun and lively music of Gershwin and Joplin, our repertoire list is varied and versatile. We will discuss the details with you personally in order to ensure that we help to create the mood you wish for.

We can offer some suggestions of great wedding music to include in your day, based upon experience of the wishes of previous clients. Why not walk down the aisle to the stately sound of Pachelbel’s Canon? As you are signing the register, we could entertain your guests with pieces such as Elgar Salut d’Amour or Faure Pavane. Alternatively, you may like to choose an operatic classic such as La ci darem la Mano from Mozart’s “Don Giovanni”. As you exit from the ceremony, you may like something more upbeat and lively such as Brahms Hungarian Dance no. 5, or a movement from a Mozart Divertimenti.

Afterwards, at the wedding reception and dinner, Terzina can provide a variety of musical styles to add to the mood of your party. We often find that our clients prefer us to open with more traditional classical repertoire, including music by composers such as Mozart, Beethoven and Boccherini. This sets the scene with style and elegance for your guests arriving. As the champagne begins to flow, you may wish the mood to liven up somewhat! At this point we could move on to music from the shows, songs by Gershwin and Cole Porter, South American favourites and familiar popular tunes at your request. For a small additional fee we can arrange a particular tune for you if it does not already appear on our repertoire list. Please ask us for further information about this service.

Terzina would usually dress in formal black dress in order to blend subtly into the surroundings of your wedding day, and to avoid clashing with your chosen colour schemes. Please ask if you would like us to consider an alternative dress code.
