A Listeso Weddings Ensemble

Highline String Quartet

New York's premier wedding string quartet — setting the tone for the moments that matter most.

Four Voices,
One Sound

Highline String Quartet is an acclaimed NYC-based ensemble founded over 10 years ago, made up of passionate musicians with degrees from institutions including Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Dartmouth, Juilliard, and Manhattan School of Music, among others.

Highline is a regular performer at venues such as Joe's Pub, SubCulture, and the former Manderley Bar at Sleep No More — and most notably is the featured quartet of the Candlelight Series. If you've been to one of those shows, that was likely us.

With an alias inspired by Chelsea's High Line Park in New York City, Highline String Quartet represents the merging of cultural preservation with contemporary society — so if you're looking for a group who brings the elegance of a traditional string quartet with an excitement for contemporary styles and genres, look no further.

Three Moments, One Ensemble

The Prelude

Setting the Room

The doors open, and the music is already there. For the thirty minutes before your ceremony begins, the quartet sets the emotional tone of the room — giving your guests something beautiful to settle into as they take their seats.

The Ceremony

The Walk Down the Aisle

The processional, the bridal entrance, the recessional — these are the most meaningful musical moments of your wedding. The quartet scores each one live, with arrangements chosen by you and performed with concert-level precision.

The Cocktail Hour

An Elegant Transition

A jazz trio is a beautiful cocktail hour option — but the string quartet can carry this moment just as gracefully. If you want to extend the warmth and elegance of the ceremony into the hour that follows, the quartet is a seamless choice.
