Can you help me with selecting the music for my event?

Absolutely. We provide free consultations to help you select the music for your event. We are always happy to suggest songs that suit your musical taste and provide a good flow. If you don’t find your favorite songs in our music list we are more than happy to have a string rendition created by our in house arranger, custom made for your ensemble of choice.

Does Subito Strings perform outdoors?

We are happy to perform outdoors. We do ask that shade (an umbrella if there is no natural shade) be provided to protect our instruments, and that an alternate indoor location is reserved in the case of inclement weather.

Is amplification necessary? Do you provide amplification?

Amplification is usually not necessary when we are performing for wedding ceremonies. Acoustic performances also preserve the natural acoustic warmth and ambience that our instruments produce.

For cocktail hour and/or reception performances, amplification can be useful if you want our sound to be heard evenly across the space, or if you are expecting a large number of guests.

If amplification is desired it is usually best for us to work with your house sound engineer, or a DJ to mic us into their system.

How Much Space Does a String Quartet Need?

A string quartet doesn't require a large amount of space to perform.

When planning the layout for your wedding venue, keep in mind that a string quartet typically consists of two violins, a viola, and a cello. Each musician will need enough space to maneuver and play their instrument comfortably.

In terms of the overall footprint, a string quartet can usually fit within an area of approximately 10 feet by 10 feet. This allows enough space for the musicians to position themselves in a way that allows for optimal sound projection and coordination.

When will the musicians arrive?

Our musicians arrive 30 minutes to 1 hour prior to the starting time of your event so we can set up and check in with your planner or venue contact to coordinate and confirm cues.

What will the musicians wear?

Our musicians arrive dressed in concert black attire, a formal look that doesn’t distract from the music.
