What do you require to perform?
We require only 2 upright chairs without arms.

What if someone from Party of Three can't make it?
If one of our members is unable to perform at your affair, we have replacement substitutes who are always available. We choose our substitutes with care, and rehearse with them until they are ready to perform with Party of Three.

What if there is no piano?
If there is no piano at your site, we will bring our keyboard. Please check with your site for availability of a piano and/or power supply.

What if our ceremony is outside?
We play for many ceremonies and cocktail hours that are held outside. However, please have alternate plans made in case of inclimate weather. Rain or drizzle can ruin our expensive equipment, and our fingers can freeze in the cold. We have also seen many well-dressed guests pass out in the August heat. Please try to have a canopy available.

How much music will you play for our ceremony?
We start with prelude music about 20 minutes before your ceremony is scheduled to begin. We will play all the music you request during your service, and about 10 minutes of recessional music when your ceremony is over.

How do I choose the music for the prelude? Do I have to select the whole program? 
It is not necessary for you to choose all the prelude music, unless of course you want to. Some people have very definite ideas about programming, others leave it completely to us. Through long experience we have found that choosing from a wide variety of material usually works best.

How do we time our entrances to finish with the music? 
We have become very skilled in ending the music at just the right time. The only thing we need to know is how many people are processing to each piece of music.

Do you play for Catholic Mass Weddings?
Yes, we play for Catholic Masses. We know all of the Parts of the Mass, and we will sing hymns for the Offertory, Communion, Sign of Peace, etc. Please let your priest know that we use the "Mass of Creation", which is common to all Catholic Churches at this time.

Let's talk about cocktail hour...
Our cocktail hours are one continuous hour of non-stop beautiful music. We will have our equipment set up prior to your guests' arrival, and we begin playing as soon as they enter.

Are there discounts for more than one event?
Yes, if the ceremony and the cocktail hour are in the same location, we will discount the price. This will depend upon whether we have to move our equipment from one spot to the next. However, if the ceremony is in a totally different location from the cocktail hour, we cannot give a discount. Please call or to discuss your price.
