The Prado is one of those San Diego wedding venues that really feels like San Diego. Right in the middle of Balboa Park, you're surrounded by historic architecture, gardens, fountains, colorful tile, and some of the most recognizable scenery in the city.
Left Coast Quintet has performed at The Prado for weddings and special events over the years, and it's a wonderful setting for live music.
Live Ceremony Music at The Prado
The Casa del Rey Moro Garden is an especially beautiful spot for a wedding ceremony, surrounded by greenery, fountains, terraces, and the historic architecture of Balboa Park.
Our wind quintet fits naturally into this setting. Flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn, and bassoon create a warm, elegant sound that carries beautifully outdoors without overwhelming the ceremony.
We can perform classical favorites as guests arrive and then completely change directions for the ceremony itself. Our couples have chosen everything from traditional wedding music to Disney, Broadway, movie soundtracks, jazz standards, and instrumental arrangements of their favorite pop and rock songs.
That's one of our favorite parts of performing weddings. Your ceremony music doesn't have to sound like everyone else's.
From the Ceremony to Cocktail Hour
We can also stay after the ceremony and provide music while your guests enjoy cocktail hour elsewhere at The Prado.
This is where we can have a little more fun with the music. We might move from Bach and Mozart before the ceremony into The Beatles, ABBA, jazz standards, movie themes, Broadway favorites, or something completely unexpected afterward.
With hundreds of arrangements in our library, we can build a mix that feels appropriate for the setting while still sounding like you.
A Balboa Park Wedding with a Sound of Its Own
The Prado already gives you one of the most memorable settings in San Diego. Live music adds another layer to the experience, especially when your guests hear songs they recognize performed in a completely different way.
If you're planning a wedding at The Prado and looking for ceremony music, cocktail hour music, or both, we'd love to help you put together something memorable.
