To both of us, strings would be the most appropriate music for our garden wedding. We’ve seen it in action during Ate Kenne’s wedding in 2006 and were left in awe with how the music carried through the entire ceremony.
We tried making calls, surfed the net and asked for quotations and repertoires from various ensembles until our choices were narrowed down to one last – Beatitudes String Ensemble.
We met with Sir Lito (of Beatitudes) at The Trinoma to discuss further details on their services. Gladly, we found out that among other ensembles with inquired from, they offered the lowest rate for a quartet to play in our ceremony, not to mention a great list of arrangements and pieces to choose from. Additionally, with his long-standing experience in the wedding music business, he’s familiar with Christian weddings and its difference from Catholic weddings. Sir Lito handed us a sampler CD of his solo violin performance with a keyboardist that we eagerly listened to when we got home.
Upon hearing the first measure of the sampler, we were smiling ear-to-ear thinking about the quality and type of music that would set the mood of our wedding ceremony. Here’s one thing to look forward to on D-Day.
