Everything You Need to Know About Hiring a String Quartet for Your Wedding or Event (Memphis Edition)
Planning a wedding or event in Memphis or the Mid-South? Live string music is one of the most elegant ways to elevate your ceremony or event — but if you’ve never booked a string quartet before, it’s normal to have questions.
At Diamond Strings, we specialize in creating personalized, heartwarming performances for couples who want more than just background music — they want an unforgettable experience.
Here are a few of the most common questions couples ask us (and why the answers might surprise you):
What can a string quartet actually play at a wedding?
Pretty much anything! From the prelude to the recessional, we handle all parts of the ceremony — and we often stay for cocktail hour, too. You can choose classical pieces or modern love songs (like a royal string quartet...but they secretly love Rihanna).
Can we choose our own songs?
Absolutely. We’ll walk you through our repertoire and even arrange custom songs if you have something special in mind.
Do you travel outside of Memphis?
Yes! While we’re based in Memphis, we frequently perform in Germantown, Collierville, and the Mid-South. Let us know where your wedding is — and we’ll be there.
Pro Tip:
The earlier you book, the more flexibility you’ll have with song selection and availability (especially during peak wedding season).
