Nothing sets the tone for a Chicago wedding quite like live strings. At the stunning Bridgeport Art Center, our wedding string quartet created an unforgettable soundtrack for a couple’s big day — blending timeless classics with modern love songs in a way that felt both fresh and elegant.
Wedding Ceremony Music at Bridgeport Art Center
The ceremony began with a warm and inviting prelude as guests arrived. Our string quartet performed a thoughtful mix of favorites that bridged genres:
- Lover — Taylor Swift
- Blackbird — The Beatles
- Electric Love — BØRNS
- Accidentally in Love — Counting Crows
- I Say a Little Prayer — Aretha Franklin
- Let’s Stay Together — Al Green
- Love Story — Taylor Swift
When it was time for the processional, the bridesmaids and bride made their entrances to Stephen Sanchez’s heartfelt ballad Until I Found You. The strings carried the melody with such tenderness — a moment of pure magic that guests will never forget.
For the recessional, the couple wanted to keep the energy high and joyful. Their soundtrack included:
- Marry You — Bruno Mars
- This Will Be (An Everlasting Love) — Natalie Cole
- Concerning Hobbits — Howard Shore (The Lord of the Rings)
The combination filled Bridgeport Art Center’s soaring industrial-chic space with joy and celebration, creating a soundtrack that was uniquely theirs.
