Weddings
Blue Topaz have performed live music at numerous wedding ceremonies and receptions where they have gained the experience and flexibility to handle any event with professionalism and reliability, ensuring that your special day is enjoyable and stress-free. With so many options for the modern-day wedding, Blue Topaz pride themselves on being able to perform live music to fit into any theme, style or atmosphere that you wish to create. With a smart, chic and elegant appearance and our unique line-up of two violins and double bass, Blue Topaz are not only a refreshing and eye-catching alternative to the traditional string quartet but also provide the versatility of any musical style you may wish for.
“You know when you’re really excited about something and you try not to think about it because it can’t possibly live up to your dreams…? Well you not only lived up to them but surpassed them! Blue Topaz, you were just fantastic and made our day!”
- Glen, London, on his wedding day
Where the ceremony is concerned we recommend an elegant classical piece such as 'Bridal Chorus' by Wagner or 'Canon' by Pachelbel for the processional, at least two music choices such as 'Air on a G String' by Bach and 'Por Una Cabeza' by Gardel for the signing of the register, and an uplifting piece such as 'Wedding March' by Mendelssohn or 'La Rejouissance' by Handel, or something more popular, for the recessional.
“I will truly never forget signing the register and hearing you play Ben E King’s Stand By Me - it was magical and trust me that’s not a word I use often! You were completely professional all the way through the process and that was a breath of fresh air. I do hope you had as much fun playing as we all did listening.”
- Rebecca, Leighton Buzzard, following her wedding day
An effective approach to the reception might be to start with light classical music, introducing jazz and popular styles as the day unfolds. We arrange all of the music ourselves and welcome any special requests you might have, no matter how unusual! So whether you have your heart set on a particular song, or whether you are just looking for some advice, Blue Topaz are happy to help and will be pleased to discuss the best options for your special day.
“Having trawled all the usual string quartets, swing and jazz bands, looking for music for the wedding, we knew as soon as we listened to the samples on your website that we had found what we were looking for! We wanted something a bit different, slightly unusual, but absolutely fantastic, and that is exactly what we got.”
- Natasha, Cambridge, following her wedding day
