Has anyone heard or use these guys. A wedding in 2 weeks turned me on to them. They are great for cocktail hour... Classical made out of all sorts of music. Good stuff.
Weddings Vitamin String Quartet
- Thread starter MADNESS
- Start date
Been around for a couple of years now. I typically play them for seating music before the ceremony, although I do have a wedding coming up where the bride wants them for cocktail hour.
Someone on this board turned me onto them this summer for a couple who wanted "classic contemporary violin" for their cocktail and dinner hour... It worked out great and several people asked for the name of the group...
great stuff. I used them a few years ago and then forgot abouth them until DJ Mac reminded me about them a few weeks ago
Great stuff for prelude music for a ceremony when the bride might be using instrumental or classical music.
Yeah I used them last night and got all sorts of compliments on them during dinner. People all of a sudden realize they are listening to GNR or Zepplin
Yep... I use their music all the time at ceremonies.
Their string version of Weezer's "Buddy Holly" is great!

What would be their most useful tracks or Albums for dinner / cocktail
They produce quite a few albums...
My friend Mike Wieder showed me VSQ last year. Great stuff! Recently, while using VSQ for dinner music, we were surprised to hear the guests singing Living on a Prayer at the top of their lungs while we were in an adjacent room eating.
VSQ is my mainstay for pre-game stuff. I always love it when guests are sitting there, chatting, and they suddenly realize that quiet, pretty, string music is something like "You Shook Me All Night Long" or "Copacabana". I used it for a recent redneck wedding and actually got a cheer from the audience in reaction.
Dang Rick them Thar Rednecks recognize good rock eh? My question is why would one make effort to label a wedding Redneck. Some might be offended if they heard that label.
Jon, that was the nightmare I reported about 6 weeks ago. Out in the country, at a personal residence. The groomsmen had jeans, white shirt and camo ties. The bridesmaids all sported tattooes and cowboy boots (bride also). The groom wore a camo hat, white shirt, jeans, and dirty work boots and smoked a cigarette as he watched his bride walk down the hill to meet him. The tables had plastic with camo duct tape holding it down. To end off the evening, the bar band that the husband had hired horned in on my setup location, then wanted to start a fight when I rolled my boxes over their snake.
Is there another label you'd find more appropriate? :tribiggrin:
I'll give you a visual:
Oh, by the way, they bought full uplighting and paid in advance.
looks like a country weddin. Redneck is a stretch from what I seen in the pictures ya took. Regardless it was a Weddin' regardless of the pre supposed label.
