Wedding Ceremony Prelude / Processional Music

When it comes to ceremony music, the Vitamin String Quartet is a great recommendation. No matter what kind of music you like, Vitamin String Quartet takes just about any song and plays it to strings. It's a great way to keep a classical traditional feel but also incorporating a modern vibe. Any song that has to do with love is always a safe song choice. You can find an amazing selection of Vitamin String Quartet music on Itunes.
