Bradley & Joanna’s Wedding at The Old Kent Barn: Live Strings and well-known pop covers

Weddings deserve a soundtrack that reflects the personality and style of the couple. At Bradley and Joanna’s wedding at The Old Kent Barn in Kent, we had the pleasure of performing a custom setlist for their ceremony, demonstrating how live string music adds a level of sophistication and atmosphere that recorded tracks can’t match.

The Art of String Arrangements for Pop Music

A string trio offers a distinctive way to reinterpret popular songs, combining familiarity with a fresh, expressive sound. The natural warmth and depth of strings bring out new emotional layers in well-known tracks, making them resonate in a way recorded versions often can’t.

For Bradley and Joanna’s ceremony, we arranged modern classics to suit their tastes and the moment:

  • Bridal Entrance: “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri
    Our arrangement enhanced the romantic melody, providing a subtle and elegant backdrop as Joanna entered.

  • Signing of the Register: “One Day Like This” by Elbow & “All You Need Is Love” by The Beatles
    These uplifting songs were arranged to maintain their energy while fitting the refined tone of the ceremony.

  • Exit: “Viva La Vida” by Coldplay
    Ending on an upbeat, celebratory note, our string version brought a lively finish as the couple left the ceremony.

Each piece was carefully arranged to complement the couple’s style and create a cohesive musical narrative throughout the ceremony.

Why a String Trio Works for Weddings

String trios offer versatility and sophistication, adapting seamlessly to various wedding styles and settings. Unlike recorded music, live strings respond dynamically to the atmosphere, enhancing moments from the bride’s entrance to the wedding breakfast.

Strings can cover a broad range of music, from classical pieces to contemporary pop, ensuring your wedding music feels personal.IMG_1638(1) IMG_1632(1) IMG_1635(1)
