Spacious Modern Downtown Boston Studio
for the event, some of the participants were a bit sad that they couldn't continue playing because they had used up their allotted performance time. Still, nice, easy people to work with and a wonderful space. Despite the restrictions, we would book this place again...

Historic Church in Lovely Dorchester Neighborhood
The space was perfect. Just as beautiful, if not better in person. I booked the spot for a live music performance shoot and was looking for a piano to play specifically in the location. The piano was a Steinway and had a beautiful soft tone. The natural reverb inside the...

Creative Workshop/Event Space in the Heart of Coolidge Corner. Includes staff!
My cabaret performance at the Makery owed much of its success to Hayley and Manny. Throughout the whole experience, from initial booking to the after-show ‘get-out’, they could not have been kinder and more helpful - nothing was too much trouble for them, from lighting to sound to catering...
