Scott Arcangel
Events Director
As the music director, I oversee every event – from the first phone call to the last note.
So when you call us, you’re not getting a manger – you’re getting *the* manager – who also happens to be a musician. You wouldn’t think that would be such a rare thing at a music company - but it is!
In addition to running the company, I’m also a pianist. I’ve been named the nationally top-ranked Piano Player on The Bash & Gigmasters for the last 4 years.
I tell our couples – my goal is to be your easiest vendor!
Your music should be the fun part of your day – if it’s not, we’re not doing it right!

We got married in November at the Silver Bay YMCA, and we cannot recommend Scott and his team enough. We knew we wanted a live band for part of our wedding and they were the best b...
and we could have chosen. Our first meeting with Scott we could tell he understood our wedding day vision right away and was willing to work with us on learning new music to fulfill our nerdy requests. For example the team learned acoustic versions of 90's alternative songs, and the groomsmen and bridal party walked down the aisle to Legend of Zelda, my wife walked down the aisle to Nightmare before Christmas, and then we recessed to Studio Ghibli. Cocktail hr, all our guests commented how amazing the band was and how they enjoyed the live music. If you want something different for your wedding, we were thoroughly impressed at the musical abilities and made our music dreams come true. Thank you to this very special team!

and getting to dream up such a fun, unique musical plan together! I’m all about personalizing the day - from video games & soundtracks, to 90’s bangers!
I’m so glad our team helped bring all of that to life. Thanks again for trusting us with such a special part of your day!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with The Music Boutique and the violinist Scott arranged for our wedding ceremony. From the moment she began playing, our guests were gen...
uinely delighted. The music added such a beautiful, intimate touch and instantly elevated the entire atmosphere. What impressed me most was how flawlessly she handled our song list. I gave her about a dozen somewhat obscure selections roughly a month before the wedding, and she absolutely nailed every single one. It was clear she came prepared and took the music seriously, and the result felt personal and incredibly special to us. The Music Boutique also provided a microphone for the ceremony, which ended up being immensely helpful and took a huge stress off our plate. On top of that, their professionalism was outstanding: they set up and shut down seamlessly, neatly, and without needing any oversight from us or our coordinator. Everything just… happened, smoothly and quietly in the background, which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. Scott was wonderful to work with throughout the planning process: friendly, organized, responsive, and genuinely easy to communicate with. He checked in periodically in the months leading up to the wedding, made the entire process simple, and most importantly, made me feel completely confident going into the day. Overall, this was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The ceremony music was a standout detail that set the stage for the rest of a beautiful night. I would recommend The Music Boutique without hesitation to anyone looking for elegant, stress-free, high-quality live music.

I am so grateful that Scott and his team were a part of our big day in October 2025. I can’t say enough about how wonderfully everything went. From the very beginning, Scott worked...
closely with us to curate a unique playlist that perfectly matched the vibe of each moment. Over the course of 15 months, I was able to meet several times—by phone and email—to go over every detail, and his care and attention were evident in every interaction.
The live music truly elevated the day for everyone. From the gorgeous ceremony strings to the smooth jazz during cocktail hour, every musical element felt deeply and thoughtfully arranged. The musicians were not only talented but also incredibly kind and professional. Some of my favorite moments included the beautifully arranged Christian song, “The Blessing,” during prayer and communion, as well as the whimsical yet personal modern selections for the processional and recessional.
Scott was also a fantastic DJ throughout the entire day—keeping everything on track with announcements, speeches, and transitions, and ending the night with an amazing setlist that kept everyone on the dance floor. Without Scott, the vision I had for our special day simply wouldn’t have been complete. We are so thankful for everything their team provided. The day was absolutely lovely, and I will wholeheartedly be recommending your business to others!

He and his team of musicians went above and beyond to make our special day so memorable. Our family and friends are still raving about how incredible the band was -- from their music to their kind guest interactions. Scott worked with us along the way to ensure peace of mind and simplicity while keeping our wishes at the forefront. He is not only an incredible musician, but also a wonderful host/emcee. No wedding is perfect and there are bound to be hiccups along the way, but Scott kept things moving along seamlessly.
Having live music with an authentic sound was very important to us and our families. From live smooth jazz to contemporary hits and mixing in our curated playlist as well, Scott and the band absolutely crushed it! We feel truly blessed that The Music Boutique provided such excellent entertainment for our wedding.

From the very beginning, Scott from The Music Boutique was warm, organized, creative, and just incredibly easy to work with. He helped us figure out a musical plan that felt person...
al and unique to us: a violin/cello/piano trio for the ceremony, a duo for cocktail hour, and then a mix of live instruments and DJing/emceeing for the reception. He really does it all.
My husband and I are a little nerdy and wanted songs from anime and video games, but also something romantic and elegant. Scott took our wishlist (Kingdom Hearts, Star Wars, One Piece, Elvis) and turned it into a soundtrack that somehow worked together beautifully. I will never forget walking down the aisle as he transitioned from Can’t Help Falling in Love into the Cantina Song, then Simple and Clean, and finally We Are. It was pure magic.
He also helped us with the timeline, cut our first dance and parent dances (thank you, truly), sent me demo recordings when I was anxious, and brought backup mics and speakers just in case. He really thought of everything and made the whole experience feel effortless.
We had a small wedding (about 40 people), and honestly, we were a little nervous about the music—our group isn’t big on dancing, and we weren’t sure what kind of vibe would feel right. But Scott read the room perfectly. Even though I gave him almost nothing to go on (my requests were basically “fun but not cheesy, not too cliché but still wedding-y?”), every single song felt right. And somehow, he had people on their feet dancing all night long. That was some kind of musical magic.
We’re still getting compliments on the music, and I’m just so grateful we found someone who cared as much as Scott did. He made the day feel magical and so us.
If you’re thinking of booking The Music Boutique—do it. Scott is the best.

We hired The Music Boutique to do both the ceremony & cocktail hour live music at our wedding and we could not have been happier. The talent of these individuals was literally off-...
the-charts, and they came in as calm, collected professionals.
Scott was our contact throughout the planning process & he was kind, helpful, & super prompt with every email correspondence, honestly he was our best vendor in terms of communication.
Our wedding was slightly unique in that we had to shift venues about 6 weeks before, so the new venue had not a lot of space for the inside "rain-plan" - of course when we got to our wedding weekend it was the worst weather I could have possibly imagined, so we did indeed have to have the ceremony & cocktail hour inside. There was no choice but for them to be in a small corner, but they happily made it work.
I had told them a slightly unique idea I had for both the processional & recessional songs, I had not heard them do it until the wedding-day and it was perfect.
Additionally, I come from a family of musicians (my mom has her doctorate in vocal pedagogy & opera and we had a lot of her friends from her program attending the wedding) and they all gave super high praise to the musicians as well.
I can't recommend Scott & his colleagues at The Music Boutique enough! They brought our wedding into realm of richness that we wouldn't have had without them.

Scott and the team at the Music Boutique were incredible to work with through every step of the planning process – even the part where Scott got COVID three days before the wedding...
and had to find replacements! Nobody at our wedding would ever have known about that, though, because everything throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception was perfect, and really felt personalized for us. If you are looking for a combination of live music and a DJ at your event, Scott and Music Boutique are what you are looking for.

it was AWESOME! Scott and his team at Music Boutique are the best! Scott was on top of every detail they needed for the day of the wedding and made sure we were happy everything. Scott went above and beyond for us which I appreciated, always checking in and excited for us to have the time of our lives! Our guests enjoyed the live music while mingling during the cocktail hour and we were ecstatic to have a world-class jazz band at our big day!

It was such a wonderful experience, I highly recommend Scott and his team!!

We cannot express how absolutely incredible our wedding was, and a huge part of that magic was thanks to Scott and The Music Boutique! From the moment they arrived, their professio...
nalism and enthusiasm were evident. Scott was very responsive and he was super easy to work with creating our dream day.
The Music Boutique took the stage with an energy that instantly captivated our guests. Their live performance was nothing short of spectacular! The musicianship was top-notch. We chose a Piano, Violin and Cello trio, with some parts DJ’d. We had live music during our ceremony, reception and part of the reception. For our reception, they played movie theme songs in a classical version and everyone loved it.
Scott seamlessly transitioned between their live sets and DJ’d songs, they created an electric atmosphere that kept everyone engaged. They expertly read the room, playing everything from classic hits to modern favorites that resonated with our crowd. Scott and The Music Boutique even took the time to incorporate our song requests and special moments, making it feel personal and unique to our celebration.
Together, Scott and The Music Boutique created a phenomenal musical experience that exceeded all expectations. Our wedding was truly one to remember, and we’ve received countless compliments from our guests about how fantastic the entertainment was. If you’re looking for a group that can elevate your special day, you absolutely cannot go wrong with Scott and The Music Boutique. I cannot recommend them enough and hope to see them again in the future. Thank you for making our wedding an absolute dream come true!

We found the Music Boutique at a bridal expo at our venue, Windham Manor. We heard they could provide cocktail hour and ceremony music, and after discussing more with them they inf...
ormed us they could also put together a 5-6 piece band if needed, and provide DJ service. They were flexible to accommodate our requests for music and flow of the day. The quality of musicians was great and had no complaints there. The sound quality was good but could have been louder throughout the night. Luckily we did have a packed dance floor most of the night given our guest count most people did dance at least some part of the night. I would recommend them for cocktail hour and ceremony, but probably not for reception unless you are looking for something more low-key.

sure it was done right - Scott and the music boutique delivered on our vision!
Throughout the planning process Scott was by far the most communicative and organized wedding vendor that I worked with. He is quick to respond and stays on top of timelines which made working with him so easy and stress free. He took the time to speak with me and my husband at multiple points along the planning journey to ensure everything was exactly how we wanted it.
The ceremony was beautiful! Scott and his string trio performed the music perfectly and everything was timed to perfection. When it came time for me to walk down the aisle and I heard the string trio playing my song it brought all of our guests to tears and I couldn’t have asked for a better moment. The string trio also delivered on exactly what we had envisioned for cocktail hour mixing in some of our requested songs with songs of their own.
We used the Music Boutique to hire a saxophone artist to go along with our DJ and this was by far a highlight of the evening! We were looking for a very specific type of energy and worked really hard to ensure each aspect of our music selection delivered on that energy. The sax player really brought it home! He was lively and engaging and played all of our songs right along with our DJ. Multiple people commented on how great he was.
I can’t recommend Scott and his team enough! He was great to work with and really brought our wedding day to life and helped us achieve the exact day we had envisioned!

ment we became engaged he wanted live music at our wedding. After finding The Music Boutique we immediately scheduled a call with Scott and were blown away with his attention to detail, communication, and professionalism. We were able to request specific songs that meant a lot to us, as well as specify what genres or songs we would not like to be played (e.g. Disney). Our guests were in awe of them from start to finish. We opted for the string duo due to the intimacy of our event, and had them available throughout our ceremony and cocktail hour. Guests were amazed of their talent and the music was absolutely beautiful! Scott and his team are the best of the best! You will not be disappointed!

zz duo during our cocktail hour to the 5-piece live band during the reception, as well as the DJ portion of the night. We really appreciated that they met us where we were at early in the planning process. Unlike other wedding bands, Scott never pressured us to plan a first dance and was fully supportive of some silly song ideas (Linus & Lucy to introduce espresso martini time? No problem!). He also helped the whole day run smoothly. Scott helped bring a last-minute vision to life to play a ceremony exit song over speakers. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so special, MB!!
