Here's a few of our favorite venues and our suggestions for the perfect ensemble.


Intimate Wedding Ceremony at the Boston Public Library: String Quartet

The McKim Courtyard at the Boston Public Library has an old-world charm reminiscent of a stately Roman estate. The marble walls and floors provide a stunning natural reverb, filling the entire space with the lush sounds of the string quartet. Imagine floating down the aisle to your favorite song played by our Tessera String Quartet, an elegant and refined choice that we think is a perfect match!

This venue also offers several different options for a cocktail hour and reception that are awe-inspiring and unique. Our string quartet library has close to 1000 songs and we can customize a setlist that perfectly compliments your venue and mood.
