When I am engaged for a wedding, my usual procedure is to begin by inviting the Bride and Groom to my home, along with anyone else they wish to bring, to discuss my involvement in the wedding. I play tunes for them, and I give them a cassette tape ( which is theirs to keep ) of the wedding tunes I have played at other weddings. I make suggestions for the ceremony as they would apply to the bagpiping and my involvement. The Bride and Groom can listen to the tape later and call me with ideas and tune selections if they have not decided on tunes during our consultation.

I am available for the Rehearsal as well as the Wedding and will pose for pictures with the wedding party participants. For the wedding ceremony, I can do and have done all or some of the following :

Play in front of the Wedding location as guests arrive, unless the bride and groom would like to use me as an element of surprise, in which case I remain hidden until the appointed moment ;

Play during the seating of Grandmothers and Mothers, pipe in Bride's Maids, Flower Girl and ring Bearer, Groom alone or with the Minister and Groomsmen, and Pipe in the Bride;

Play at some midpoint in the wedding ceremony, such as during lighting of a Unity Candle;

Pipe the Bride and Groom out after being pronounced Man and Wife;

Play outside the wedding location as guests leave, or go to the reception location and play as guests arrive there;

Pipe the Bride and Groom into the reception area when they arrive after picture-taking ( sort of a 'grand entrance' type thing )

The BARTON STRINGS are undeniably the most sought after wedding musicians in Central Texas. With over 18 years of experience, and thousands of flawless performances, it's no wonder we are consistently booked year after year.

Experienced wedding coordinators, Austin's top venues, the finest photographers, and the most exquisite catering companies refer our services to their clients year after year. They trust us because we have earned it. It takes more than just good musicians to ensure the ceremony music is performed correctly. It takes musicians who understand non-verbal cues, who can react quickly and thoughtfully, and who make better music than a well mastered CD.

When you hire the Barton Strings you will get exactly that...the most experienced musicians accompanying you flawlessly on your most special day.
