Instrumental music suggestions for cocktail hour

You could try listening to Vitamin String Quartet and the Piano Guys for ideas. We're having our DJ play them during cocktail hour.

Search "instrumental string trio songs" sounds obvious, but it will give you an idea of how well a song plays without piano etc. I agree with DJF too, both will give you lots to consider.

We had a string trio play for our ceremony and cocktail hour and it was amazing. We had all classical selections. For cocktail hour we told them to play whatever they wanted! Are you wanting instrumental versions of modern songs?

I second vitamin string quartet.

I'd agree with letting them choose. Cocktail hour is a noisy time for most people, and while I love background music, that really is what it is; background. People are talking, laughing, taking photos, drinking and eating. They'll hear snippets of the songs, but no one is really going to focus, like the will at the ceremony and the first dance.

That's a good point about people not really focusing on the music then. They emailed and said that we needed to pick so many songs, and didn't mention about just picking what we wanted and letting them fill in the rest, although I guess that is kind of obvious! I'm you tubing Vitamin String Quartet as we speak! Awesome suggestion!

There's a Taylor Swift cover on strings that's pretty popular. It's pretty.
