AMAZING.
Reviewed on 7/28/2015 Dan MChen was the best vendor! So accommodating of our special music requests. The music was beautiful! Great value. Just FYI, the ensemble needs to be in shade because of potential sun damage to their instruments, so plan accordingly. We placed them in the gazebo we were married in...

Great addition to our ceremony and cocktail hour
Reviewed on 11/09/2014 Erin SWe were very happy to book Boston String Quartet for our August wedding. Chris was able to answer our questions and was very easy to communicate with before our wedding day. We provided them with a list of our preference of songs, with some special requests which they... Read More accommodated without any issue. On the day of the wedding, the quartet arrived ahead of time, looked formal for the occasion, and sounded beautiful. I forgot to assign someone to cue them when the ceremony finished, but one of the musicians looked out for me and when I gave him a nod they quickly played our recessional. I was pleasantly surprised by the extent of their repertoire – they added more songs in than I expected and did a fantastic job. Thank you for helping to create the atmosphere that we were aiming for!
Fields of Gold

BSQ wedding performance
Reviewed on 9/27/2014 Jennifer KBSQ was a very professional, well-oiled machine when it came to performing at my wedding. They were on time and knew exactly what to do with no direction from me. They were also a truly talented group, whose skills shined through in the sound of their music. My guests enjoyed... Read More listening to them as much as my husband and I did, and I would highly recommend this quartet to any couple on their wedding day.
Never Showed Up!
Reviewed on 10/10/2012 Diana GBoston String Quartet was contracted by me a year before my wedding. I tried to be in contact with them about my music choices and making sure they knew what songs to play when. They were very unresponsive, I had to write several emails and even call to get a response. And... Read More last but not least, THEY NEVER SHOWED UP. How would you feel as a bride if you were 5 mins before walking down the aisle and your string quartet was no where in site? No music to walk down the aisle to!! Well 1 out of the 4 showed up. How can one person play the music I chose for a quartet?! He cant. No phone call to say they were going to be late, no emails, no NOTHING. I send the ONE violinist on his merry way and my DJ played the music through his laptop. THANK GOD! I had no other issues with any of my vendors except for Boston String Quartet. And on top of that all I had was an email stating "sorry we did not fulfill our contract, can we have your address to send you your deposit", thats it? Thanks guys you ruined my ceremony!!
Fabulous!
Reviewed on 7/04/2012 Jenny CWe had the quartet play for our ceremony and cocktail hour in August 2011. They did a fantastic job and added an elegant touch to my sunset outdoor ceremony. My only issue was that I was tracked down and asked to pay the balance of their fee as soon as the cocktail hour ended... Read More when I had already paid in full 2 months prior. The check had already cleared so i knew they got paid. They didn't believe me and needed to know who I gave the check to and it was one of the guys that was there who "forgot" that I had already paid. This added some uneeded stress to the day and left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth.
Outstanding!
Reviewed on 11/01/2011 Abbey KThe BSQ played for the first hour at our wedding reception and I couldn't be more pleased. The music was beautiful and all of our guests loved the selections - we chose electric instruments to play all of the top contemporary songs like Thriller by Michael Jackson, Poker Face by... Read More Lady Gaga and it was just amazing. Their price is on the high side but totally worth it.
Beautiful music
Reviewed on 11/07/2010 Kathy SGreat players - added a lot of class to our ceremony. Would have liked if they arrived a little bit earlier to practice with soloist.
Great performance
Reviewed on 10/25/2010 Irina SVery punctual, well prepared. Gave us a repertoire sheet to choose music from, but also accepted and followed our specific requests about which segments to play. We also were able to hire them only three weeks before the wedding. Overall a wonderful choice.
