What is the story behind Mystic Music Events?

Mystic Music Events is a wedding string ensemble based in Mystic, Connecticut. We play ceremonies, cocktail hours, and receptions across Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New York, with lineups from solo violin or cello to a full string quartet.

Every player is top conservatory-trained and performs on concert stages as well as at weddings. Founder and cellist Tom Readett studied at Juilliard before completing his M.M. at Manhattan School of Music, and is the founding cellist of Thais Trio, a touring piano trio.

Along the shoreline we've played Ocean House and Watch Hill Chapel in Rhode Island, Saltwater Farm Vineyard and Stone Acres Farm in Stonington, Saybrook Point Resort & Marina, and Eolia Mansion at Harkness Memorial State Park. Inland, couples have booked us at Preston Ridge Vineyard, Edwards Winery, and The Spa at Norwich Inn.

Most couples book us for the ceremony and cocktail hour. For the processional you might choose Pachelbel's Canon, "Clair de Lune," or a string version of "Can't Help Falling in Love." For cocktail hour we move between Vivaldi, Bach, and arrangements of Taylor Swift, Coldplay, and Ed Sheeran. If a song matters to you and we don't play it yet, we'll arrange it for strings.

Every package includes our sound system and a microphone for your officiant. We coordinate timing, cues, and setup with your planner and venue, so the music stays on schedule and you never have to think about it.

Send us your date and venue for availability and a quote. Packages start at $1,000, and our string quartet for ceremony plus cocktail hour is $4,000.

The Picture of Professionalism

Booking Mystic Music Events was an amazing way to upgrade our event and to add a personal touch. The full string quartet was the perfect match for our outdoor wedding, and they even offered amplification. It was the perfect way to not walk down the aisle to a CD but instead to real music.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
