Dearest Gentle Reader,
Since Bridgerton premiered in 2020, my brides and grooms have been reaching out to me all with the big question: "Can you play Bridgerton music for my wedding?"
Yes, yes, and absolutely yes! That's exactly what we do!
Meet Your Wedding Musicians
Hi, I'm Ariana, lead violinist and founder of Ariana Strings. As Connecticut wedding musicians who have performed for over 650 weddings and special events over the last 15 years, we've been performing modern pop string covers since before Bridgerton ever existed. I'd like to think of us as on trend.
Before you read on, click play to have our classical cover of Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift to accompany our deep dive into Bridgerton wedding music. It’s from the time the British Consulate commissioned us to create a bespoke string orchestra for the actual Queen of England - It doesn’t get more Bridgerton than that! Today, I'll be covering which songs are in Bridgerton, how you can incorporate Bridgerton into your wedding music, common pitfalls, and showcasing inspiration from our incredible Bridgerton-themed styled wedding shoot, featuring Allure Bridals’ brand new Bridgerton bridal collection.
What made Bridgerton so exciting and unique was the soundtrack. It was all performed by real, professional classical musicians, mostly Vitamin String Quartet - an LA-based company that does arrangements of all modern pop hits. But they've featured a few other wonderful groups on the show as well.
Not only do the Ariana Strings musicians specialize in performing modern pop string songs, it's our favorite thing to do. We have a huge library filled with everything you can imagine. Are you looking for Bridgerton music for your wedding? We've got you covered.

Which Of Your Wedding Ensembles Play Bridgerton Music?
All of our ensembles have a variety of pop string covers, but if you're specifically looking for that Bridgerton sound, you'll want our string quartet or even string orchestra. It's the fullest sound and will be the most like those pop string arrangements you know and love.
Our smaller groups have something up their sleeve too, so if a violin duet or string trio is more your style, we've got you covered. Check out each of the custom song libraries here.
Right now, we've added your most requested to our 2000+ song string quartet library. Want more? Email Ariana with your request. We'll make it happen.
A Note On TV Soundtracks
Though the Bridgerton soundtrack is often performed by string quartet, NOT ALL OF the songs featured in Bridgerton are played by string quartet. In fact, they’re beautifully edited in-studio and feature layerings of many, many instruments. (Max Richter’s Spring Recomposed is one of our number one requests and it’s actually written for 18 instruments!)
Check Out My Cover Of "Strange" By Celeste
Fun fact: It looks like I'm accompanied by only 3 violins, but I'm actually accompanied by 6 instruments: 3 violins and 3 violas. This was a passion project during lockdown that I hope you enjoy!
The Ariana Strings Music Library
Every single song in our music library is arranged and tailored especially for our strings. That means you're getting a beautiful instrumental cover that truly compliments the original song and artist no matter which of our ensembles you choose. In our library, you can find:

We love learning new music and expanding our repertoire, so we receive up about 100 requests per season. Our library is always growing so fast that our website can't keep up! As professional musicians, we perform world-class symphonic and chamber music that is incredibly difficult and takes a lot of practice. (Have you ever played Mahler? That stuff is tricky!) So, when couples ask if we can learn a pop song, it's no trouble at all!
If you’re getting married in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, or New York, contact us today about how to incorporate Bridgerton music into your wedding. Below, enjoy these exclusive galleries from our Bridgerton themeed stylized shoot for Allure Bridals.
