Rates
To book any type of event there is a non-refundable deposit of $150. You will receive a personalized and detailed contract containing information about location, payment arrangements and details of what to expect from us. This web page is intended to give the reader an impression of what the group can offer you. We break down the costs by service to cater to a variety of budgets. Base rates, special services and discounts are outlined below. Weddings For weddings, we offer a number of specialized services. We can record and produce a CD of music used on your special day to keep, or to give out to guests. Using premier notation software, we can arrange nearly any piece that you would like played at your event and provide you with a framed page from the score. For elaborate and very involved ceremonies, we can observe your rehearsal to ensure a perfectly executed appearance. We also offer a personal hearing of the group to help in your music selection process.
Parties Parties typically include the group arriving to a location 15 minutes early for setup. We ask for a cleared area with one armless chair per player and a safe, out of sight, place to store our cases. We will play light baroque, classical and background music for the duration of your party. We take one 5 minute break every hour.
Special Services These are some of the special services that we offer. Prices on these vary depending on the specifics of the situations. Feel free to inquire about specifics of what is listed here or other services that you may be looking for. Live Preview - Some customers feel comfortable selecting a group only after hearing a live performance. Unfortunately, most of our performance venues are private in nature and, therefore, not appropriate for advertising (in other words, we don't invite prospective customers to others' weddings or parties.) However, we do offer to coordinate a relaxed rehearsal for you to hear us play. Wedding customers have found this time useful in selecting ceremony music and being able to hear arrangements in our repertoire Travel - We rarely have to charge for travel to events. However, internet advertising has broadened our market from surrounding towns to all of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island. Travel rates are charged according to Map Quest's times and directions from zip code 06032. On site extra rehearsal - We welcome the opportunity to work with musicians outside of our group. Often the best time to coordinate a rehearsal is early on the day of the event. Typically a one hour rehearsal is more than sufficient preparation. Rehearsal attendance- Usually it is not necessary for a trio member to attend the wedding rehearsal. However, if a members presence is requested or necessary we will send one representative. Rehearsal CD - Provided that we have recorded copies of the music, we can compile a CD of your wedding music to play at your rehearsal to help you feel more comfortable with timing. Arrangements - Selections that we do not have in our repertoire and are not available for purchase can be arranged for prices ranging from $50-$85 per song. |
