Ensemble Choices

How many musicians should I use?

It's tough to know how large you would like your ensemble to be.  Generally speaking you will want 1 musician for every 35 people in attendance.  The more guests you will have, the more musicians you will want.
The string quartet is the standard choice for most weddings.  After hearing the examples you will know exactly what kind of instrument group is right for you.  For some people the difference between 3 and 4 musicians is big and they definitely want 4.  For others it is a small difference and they can save with a trio.
