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 couldn't have been happier with Scott and the team at Music Boutique. We utilized their services for the ceremony and then during cocktail hour. Leading up to the wedding, we had asked Scott and team to learn a couple of new songs - they didn't skip a beat and took on the challenge head on. Since our wedding, we've recommended Scott to some of our friends who will be getting married in the near future - we have nothing but great things to say about The Music Boutique!

My husband was in band most of his life during school and really wanted to incorporate live music somewhere in our wedding day. We decided to have a jazz band at cocktail hour and 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!

Right from the get-go Scott was personable and responded quickly to our inquiry. I had a ton of questions and he answered all of them and built a wonderful program for us. I thought some of the songs we wanted to do down the aisle and part of our recessional wouldn't be able to be done, but they played it so beautifully. We were on the smaller side for our wedding and everyone enjoyed them so much. Most of our guests were chatting them up between sets. 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 professionalism 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 informed 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.

I’m so happy with our choice to use the music boutique for our ceremony and cocktail hour music! Having live music as a part of our day was very important to us and we wanted to ensure 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!

We had the most amazing and magical experience with The Music Boutique. We had a strings trio + a piano for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. The music was perfect, beautiful and felt like we were in the dreamiest episode of Bridgerton with the amazing pop covers they did. 100/10 recommend them for any event. They had our guests even raving about it after our big day too. Memorable for us and our guests. Thank you Scott and team!

Scott and his team are a dream come true! From the moment we spoke to Scott we knew we were in the best of hands. My husband is a musician and audio engineer so he knew from the moment 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!

Scott and the Music Boutique were the perfect wedding band! Scott was such a pleasure to work with and we heard so much enthusiasm about the music all night, from the incredible jazz 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!!

Scott was seamless to work with leading up to the wedding. His check-ins were always so comforting and he made us feel so taken care of! He was flexible in our music choices and worked with us to provide the appropriate amplification for our ceremony location and guest count.

Scott was such a gem to work with. He was extremely communicative to make sure my day went smoothly as soon as we booked with him.
We chose the jazz trio with bass, sax & keyboard and also incorporated DJ so the guests could dance to songs we all know and love.
For the cocktail hour we were on the rooftop so the bassist and saxophonist played during cocktail hour on the roof and the 3 piece band played during dinner. It was fantastic.
Scott knew how to read the room and use the vibes to really guide the night. It was perfect. 10/10 recommend!!

Scott was absolutely amazing to work with! From the moment I reached out to see if he could make our vision for our wedding ceremony come to life, he was all for it, and even customized the music to fit our needs. I was more than impressed with his ability to take on new challenges. Our ceremony was in a different language so he took it upon himself to do some research and make notes on his sheet music. He didn’t mind all of my questions and showed a lot of excitement to work with us. He can take any song and play it with grace and perfection. Afterwards he greeted and congratulated my husband and I and followed up with a lovely email. I would recommend him any day. His talent and professionalism both exceeded my expectations! 11/10

On our wedding day, the violin/cello duo team was terrific! They did such an amazing job, and so many of our guests complemented us on the music. We are so happy to have worked with such a genuinely wonderful group of people, and we would highly recommend them time and time again.
Our only wish is that we could have listened and enjoyed the music as much as our guests did.

Wow. What an amazing experience! My wife and I requested the piano/cello duo from The Music Boutique to perform at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Scott was our primary contact and pianist; from the very beginning he was kind and attentive - asking questions on what we were looking for and how he could make our day magical. He did not disappoint. Not only was their performance incredible but they also made it highly personalized. For example, I requested a particular (not-so-well-known) song for them to play during the procession called Dawn by Daniel Paterok. Scott replied that he hadn't heard of it before but he would look into it. Later on we learned that Scott had personally contacted the artist and requested his sheet music. Not only that, but the artist didn't have the song written down to share, so Scott was given permission to write his own rendition and it sounded phenomenal! In addition, we requested several other less common songs that may not yet have been translated to cello/piano (i.e. Melt With You by Modern English) but he happily obliged and performed everything we requested. All in all, I couldn't recommend them enough. They made our special day something we will remember forever. Thank you, Scott and The Music Boutique.

The best part about working with The Music Boutique was Scott's enthusiasm and professionalism. As musicians ourselves, my wife and I were hoping to get live music in addition to a DJ. Little did we know that we would be able to hire both in one! Scott and his group were phenomenal-- from helping us brainstorm classical music pieces for our aisle processionals, to being totally down to cover our favorite song as our recessional (despite it not being on his list!), to curating an incredible selection of jazz standards for our cocktail hour, the musical artistry that you'll get from Scott and his crew was beyond our expectations. For the reception, Scott seamlessly transitioned to DJ/Emcee and hit every one of our dance music requests. Beyond his talents, he was just a delight to work with-- always asking us if there was anything else he could do to make our day magical.

Ah! Scott was so so great with his communication and went above and beyond for everything. An unforgettable wedding day made even more magical thanks to the incredible talents of Scott’s musicians!! From the moment they started playing, they set the perfect tone for our celebration. Their ability to flawlessly execute requested songs for the ceremony added such a personal touch. The jazz melodies they performed during cocktail hour were simply sensational, creating an ambiance of elegance and sophistication. If you want a live music band that goes above and beyond to make your wedding day dreams a reality, The Music Boutiques is the ultimate choice. Thank you for making our wedding day absolutely perfect!

Scott Arcangel was the perfect addition to our intimate wedding in upstate New York. We didn't have enough people for a big dance floor, but did want a few moments of dancing and Scott was able to bring our vision to life (in addition to providing beautiful musical components to our ceremony). Scott was also adaptable in response to the rain we had on our wedding day and responsive to our wants. Throughout the whole process Scott was professional, communicative and a pleasure to work with. 10/10 would recommend!

I cannot say enough things about Scott and the Music Boutique. We hired the Music Boutique to have a pianist play during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. My husband and I enjoy some different music (Blink-182) that we were easily able to make a part of our ceremony because of the talent the pianist had! Many of our guests commented how amazing the music was and how beautiful it was to hear those songs over a piano. I myself had to approach the pianist during cocktail hour because I loved the music so much and could not let my gratitude go unnoticed. I highly suggest them for any even you are having as Scott is easy to reach, very communicative and professional! They will not disappoint and only elevate your event!

Scott and his team were beyond incredible! I wish I could leave more than five stars. From the moment I reserved my date, I knew everything would be handled perfectly. Fast forward to the day of my wedding, Scott and his team were playing beautifully in the ceremony area as I walked in and it felt like a DREAM! During the reception, they played a mix of all different music, and even had us singing along! All in all, Scott and his team are truly wonderful. They exceeded our expectations and we can not wait to hire them again for our "big" wedding.

We were absolutely blown away by the incredible performance provided by the Music Boutique Strings Trio at our wedding! From start to finish, they exceeded our expectations in every way. Having to set up and break down in two different venues could have been challenging, but they handled it with grace and professionalism. They arrived promptly, set up seamlessly, and created the perfect ambiance for both our ceremony and cocktail hour. What truly touched our hearts was when they surprised us with a piece of our favorite song during our wedding ceremony. It was a moment we will cherish forever and added a personal touch to our special day. Throughout the planning process, the Music Boutique was an absolute pleasure to work with. Scott was responsive to our requests, attentive to detail, and truly invested in making our wedding day memorable. We cannot recommend the Music Boutique highly enough. If you're looking for exceptional talent, professionalism, and a personalized touch for your wedding or any special event, look no further.

Thanks to Scott and his musicians for providing a special ambiance from the moment the guests arrived through the conclusion of the ceremony.

1000/10- Scott was a pure joy to work with. He listened to what we wanted, gave us customized options that fit our budget. We wanted to focus most of our budget on the reception, so we opted for the Hybrid Band/DJ option and no live cocktail music. Not only was he super easy to work with, but he added a bass & saxophone to cocktail hour for us at no added expense since a saxophone was something I had on my want list from the beginning. It added a special touch to our cocktail hour!
He and his team adapted easily throughout the night especially when our groomsman asked for a special request entrance song we had not previously discussed. He made it happen- and to this day my husband wont stop talking about the entrance (and music that made it perfect)! Highly recommend!

Scott and his team showcase exceptional talent. From being proactive to responding promptly to messages, Scott ensures meticulous preparation for your special day. His commitment extends beyond the expected, alleviating any concerns about the wedding music. Scott is not only well-prepared for your specific preferences but also anticipates elements you might overlook. In my case, the trio he organized for our wedding delivered a fantastic performance, adding an unforgettable musical touch to our celebration.

We loved having Scott and the Music Boutique play at our wedding! We had many conversations with Scott before the wedding to discuss our preferences, and he was happy to play different kinds of music including traditional jazz, funkier jazz, and pop covers. Our guests loved the variety! He was always happy to chat over email or the phone about details and to make recommendations. He had lots of great suggestions for the non-musical parts of the ceremony as well! He also did a great job MC-ing parts of the wedding, including toasts and the first dance, and they did a spontaneous Horah. Lastly, we appreciated being able to listen to his music online. I would highly recommend them for a wedding or other event!

The magic of The Music Boutique for me is that they offer the option of a pianist with their ensembles. I loved how unique this was in comparison to the typical all string ensembles. The moment I knew I would hire Scott and his team was when I listened to my first video of theirs and it had brought tears to my eyes (my grandfather was an incredibly talented piano player and I knew Scott would act as a beautiful tribute to him on our wedding day- and that he did). Not to mention my husband is Brazilian and Scott had knowledge of Brazilian music! The Music Boutique was without a doubt a perfect fit for what we were looking for. Not to mention, Scott was incredibly prompt in all of his responses and made the hiring process so simple. The ensemble was so elegant prior and during the ceremony and offered something more upbeat during the cocktail hour. Thank you for adding something truly special to our day.

Scott and his band truly made our wedding day unforgettable. They went above and beyond in every aspect - from proactively reaching out to understand our preferences, to even learning challenging Chinese songs at our request. Though they couldn't perform the entire list due to logistics, each song played was beautiful and moved us beyond words. Scott's dedication, adaptability, and exceptional customer service stood out, turning our wedding into a magical event. A remarkable band led by an equally remarkable manager. Highly recommended to any couple seeking a personal touch and musical excellence on their big day. Five stars aren't enough to rate their talent and commitment!

It was an incredible experience working with Scott to put together the music selection for our wedding day. Scott is a wonderful collaborator – he was prompt with his responses, receptive to our ideas and vision for the day, and adapted very well to any changes we had.
Scott's versatility and experience is amazing – he not only did an outstanding job as our pianist for the wedding ceremony, but also delivered in his emcee-ing and DJ-ing for the reception afterwards. We couldn't be more pleased with the quality and overall experience that Scott provided for our wedding day, and we highly recommend his services!

We had a trio that played beautifully during our ceremony and cocktail hour. Scott was the MC for our reception were he compiled an arrangement of dance songs for the reception.

There are so many variables that go in to planning a wedding and you find yourself feeling the weight of every decision as you try to “get it right”. Well, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that we made the right decision having Music Boutique as a part of our wedding. We went with the trio-piano, violin, cello. You will be in good hands regardless of what combination of instruments you go with but I HIGHLY recommend you work with the trio as it sounds absolutely incredible. Their masterful performance of each song we requested had everyone raving about their presence at our cocktail hour. They were able to enhance our ceremony and truly make an already magical moment into something truly special. Throughout the planning process, Scott was thorough, flexible, and clearly showed his passion for his profession and our wedding. It does not matter what songs of their incredibly diverse list you pick-they all will sound incredible. We wanted a specific song for our ceremony that had to be learned and there was absolutely no problem with learning it-it sounded amazing. With that in mind, I am not one to typically write reviews. However, I feel obligated to let anyone know that they must pick Scott and The Music Boutique if there is any thought of adding music to a special day or event. You will not regret it. Sara and I thank you! 6 stars!!!

Scott and his musicians made our wedding so special and added such a sophisticated yet fun ambiance to our event. He understood the type of music we wanted immediately and put words to it that we weren't even sure how to express. He also fully composed a song for my husband and I when I wasn't sure what song i wanted to walk down the aisle to, which is so special. Would always recommend him for any event or type of music.

My wife and I got married at Crystal Springs on 3/11/23. Scott playing the Sax was perhaps the most memorable part of our wedding reception and something every single attendee has commented on. We wanted a DJ but to also have an element of live music, Scott fit right in! He played along with our DJs setlist, worked seamlessly with them to coordinate using the sound system, and was in the crowd having fun with everyone the entire time! Thank you for making our day so special Scott.
