locations.
Q. Do you charge an extra fee for a full Catholic Mass?

Q. Is there a relocation fee to travel to the reception from the ceremony?
A. No, there is not a relocation fee.
Q. What time will you be arriving at the ceremony?
A. We will arrive to set up about 30 minutes before we are scheduled to begin playing.
Q. I am having an outdoor wedding. Will you need amplification?
A. No. Unless the area is very large we should project well enough to not need amplification.
Q. I am having an outdoor wedding. Will you still be able to play if it is raining?
A. No. Due to the nature of our instruments we cannot risk them getting wet.
Q. Your contract mentions extreme heat as a condition of not performing at an outdoor wedding.
Are you going to leave us without music at our wedding?
A. We will remain as flexible as possible! We are not difficult to work with but for the same reason that our
instruments are sensitive to heat and moisture we need covering from extreme heat.
Q. How long have you been playing together?
A. We have each played, separately, for over 23 years. We have been together as a trio since 2002.
Q. What happens if one of you is sick?
A. If one of the members of the trio is sick or unavailable we have regular substitutes we call on. We trust
our substitutes to play at the highest level.
Q. Do you work with other musicians?
A. Yes, we work with other musicians and even have some recommendations for other instrumentalists if
you need them.
Q. Do you come to the rehearsal?
A. For an additional fee of $100 a representative of the trio can come to your rehearsal. The trio
representative will not be playing any music at this time, they will just be there to help make sure the
ceremony runs smoothly. It is not necessary to have someone at the rehearsal but some people feel more
comfortable having one of us attend.
Q. Can we meet to discuss music?
A. I find it sufficient to discuss details and choose music over the phone and email. If you need assistance
choosing music visit the sample programs portion of this website or call us for assistance.
Q. Do you pick the music or do we?
A. Whatever you want to do. Some people have a vast knowledge of classical music and want to pick
every piece. Others know very little about classical music and want us to pick the music. You can pick
some music and have us fill in the rest. It is up to you.
Q. How much of a deposit do we have to send?
A. We request the entire base fee ($545 for the ceremony) to hold the date. The remaining balance (if any)
will be due at least 10 days prior to the ceremony.
Q. We really want to hire the trio. What do we do now?
A. Call or email Leah Jacob to confirm availability. If the trio is available, you can download a copy of the
contract and send it to Leah Jacob with the payment. She will contact you when it is received.
Q. We are filing out the contract and we do not know the songs we would like played. Can we
leave those blank for now?
A. You can leave the song selections blank for now and we can fill those in later. The most important
information for me to have right now is on the bottom half of the sheet.
Q. I have another question that is not listed here, how can I get all the answers I need?
A. You can use the "Contact Us" portion of this website to get answers to any remaining questions you
may have.
