Strings

Cardinal String Quartet

String quartets are considered the most traditional choice for wedding ceremony music, and the Cardinal Strings fit the bill perfectly.  The group is made up of two violins, viola, and cello played by classically trained musicians each with years of experience playing for weddings.  The ensemble is also available as a trio or duo.

Brass

For a regal presentation, brass can’t be beat. Ranging in size from duos to quintets, these groups will bring a majestic sound to your event. In addition to an all brass ensemble, single trumpeters can be added to nearly all of our chamber ensembles to lend a special edge to your favorite combination of instruments.

Woodwinds

A beautiful alternative to traditional string ensembles.  Woodwinds are an excellent choice for outdoor spaces or larger venues where sound needs to carry.  Several trio combinations are available.  Each group can include flute, oboe, clarinet and bassoon.  All of these instrumentations blend seamlessly to create a lovely light sound.

Silver & Spruce

This flute and guitar duo offers a variety of music that ranges from Mozart to the Beatles.  Rodolfo Vazquez's experience as former first chair flutist of the Mexico City Orchestra makes this group a most compelling musical choice.

About the Musicians

The musicians who perform with the various ensembles represented by Class Acts Entertainment are all professionals with degrees in music from a variety of Music Schools and Universities.  They all perform with a variety of chamber music ensembles and orchestras within Central Ohio.  Most important is that each of them has extensive experience performing wedding ceremonies and receptions.  The basic dress code for the musicians is dark suit for men, and for the ladies either all black or white blouse, black jacket & mid-length black skirt or pants.  More formal dress is also available.

There is a large amount of published music already available for the ensembles, but some special requests require the musicians to make new arrangements for the occasion.  They are all happy to do this when there is time and the music is made available.  Some selections just don’t sound right with Classical Ensembles (especially duos and trios) so you should consult with your agent on the suitability of your requests.  When it isn’t practical for a live performance, you can always consider having that selection played from a CD or Tape.  If necessary one of the musicians could operate the machine for you.
