About

The Highline String Quartet is one of the most sought after musical group for wedding ceremony music, corporate events, and parties in New York City. The group performs both classical music as well as original arrangements of popular non-classical songs by our very own in-house composer.

Why We're Unique

Highline String Quartet is a project of the Highline Chamber Ensemble, a group of passionate musicians who host ticketed events in NYC at non traditional concert venues such as lofts, art galleries, and studios. We are regular performers at the Manderley Bar at Sleep No More.

CLASSICAL, POP, & JAZZ - Like Vitamin String Quartet? We can play pop songs even better. Music is our life; your guests will love us. We're equally comfortable playing Charlie Parker and Katy Perry as we are playing Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven.

PEDIGREE - Our members have a variety of musical backgrounds, with degrees from institutions including Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, Juilliard, and Manhattan School of Music, among others. We are a young, fun, professional group.

Perfect custom ceremony music and cocktail hour

Ross and the Highline team are extremely talented and played beautifully at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Ross is very organized and has an easy song selection process which ensures you have the custom song list that you want. Highly recommend!

Incredible selection of music!!

We hired the Highline Quartet for our wedding on 10/29 to play the ceremony music and cocktail hour music and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about how fantastic they were to work with. Ross was so responsive in the months leading up to our wedding to help get us all set up for the wedding, and the day of the group was so professional and played all of the music we asked for. Their selection of music was unparallel, amazing combination of modern and classic songs - we were so in awe of the selection and they played it beautifully!!

Amazing musical experience for your wedding

We loved having the Highline String Quartet play our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. They were incredibly easy to work with, and their repertoire is amazing. We wanted all pop songs - and a walk down the aisle to Dancing Queen! - and they did an amazing job. I’d highly recommend them for your next event!

Highline String Quartet made our wedding incredibly special!

We can’t say enough wonderful things about the Highline String Quartet. They played for our cocktail hour and throughout dinner at our wedding this past spring. A super talent group of musicians, they have an extensive repertoire and have such elegant takes on modern music. We loved the added dimension of the percussionist, which gave us a relaxed, yet lively vibe we were looking for. Working with them was super easy, and they listened to exactly what we wanted. A must have for any wedding!

Amazing!

We found out about the Highline serendipitously by watching random wedding videos on Youtube lol. We were sooooo impressed that we decided we must hire them for our ceremony and reception, and they did not disappoint! They were super organized and provided us with an extensive repertoire of music from which to choose, both classical and modern. We really enjoyed picking the music as we made a playlist that became our wedding planning music lol. Everyone loved it! It really gave a special touch to the ceremony and cocktail hour. Highly recommend if you want to take your special day to the next level.

Phenomenal Group

I had heard the group at a prior wedding I went to and immediately knew that I wanted them at my wedding. They exceeded all of our expectations and the guests all raved about the musical talents. The ceremony music was incredibly important to me and I will always remember it as being one of my favorite parts of the evening. Would HIGHLY recommend.

Beautiful music! Smooth process to book.

Beautiful music! Working with the Highline String Quartet was super easy and smooth. I remember that when selecting our music vendor, we compared several and found that the HSQ was the most expressive... and it was even more true in person! They did a great job and some of our guests even commented that their music was a highlight of the evening.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
