Calla String Quartet - Minneapolis and St. Paul Classical Music for Weddings, Events, Parties

The music you choose can provide the perfect framework for your special ceremony. We are ready to work with you to create the atmosphere you are looking for. Provided below are some ideas if you need help with planning the music for your wedding. However, don’t feel limited! We want to make your dreams come true and welcome your ideas and requests. Sometimes additional instruments are an appropriate and beautiful complement to the wedding ceremony. We gladly work with and can recommend professionals on several instruments, including trumpet, flute and oboe. Let us know if you would like us to arrange additional instrumentalists. To personalize the music in your ceremony, check out our repertoire page for a list of our classical music. As much as possible we accommodate special requests for music.
