About

La Folia Chamber Ensemble has performed for thousands of weddings in nearly every popular venue in the Los Angeles area. Providing ceremony and cocktail hour music is our specialty.

Jerry and Gail Acosta created La Folia Chamber Ensemble to play music for weddings. The joy we experience playing together has shaped the sound and feel of our music and we bring that joy to every performance.

La Folia is a classical music group made up of flute, violin, cello, and guitar. Our music includes what you'd normally expect from a classical group; but while we're quite comfortable playing Classical and Baroque masters, we reach out to the larger audience of listeners with contemporary music in the "unplugged classic style".

For more than twenty years we have been committed to artistry and to making our performance a memory you will cherish.

We hired Jerry to play classical guitar during our wedding ceremony. I unfortunately did not get the chance to meet Jerry on my wedding day; however, his professionalism was very apparent from the day of booking to the day of our wedding. I asked if he could play a particular song that was not listed on his website, and he did so without hesitation. This really made our day special. On the day of the wedding, he set up and took down his equipment without any logistical issues. It went off without a hitch. La Foila Ensemble provides excellent service at an affordable rate. I'm grateful for Jerry sharing his talent!

Jerry Acosta from La Folia Chamber Ensemble gave a stellar performance at my mother's birthday party. He's a talented musician who is adept at sensing pieces most fitting for an event--and he then performs them beautifully. Jerry is also warm and personable. I highly recommend him and La Folia Chamber Ensemble.

Jerry arrived super early and was ready to play 45 minutes before guest arrival. He is one of the finest (and passionate) classical guitarist in Southern California and it shows. We had guests sitting and watching him play. His rate is extremely reasonable for his talent level and my aunt and uncle (who were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary) were very pleased with his music. I was complimented on my choice of entertainment throughout the night!

Jerry and Gail were amazing - not only did they work with me on music selection, they were completely flexible when we discovered that there was rain on the forecast for our wedding day. From picking up an arrangement of "Let it Go" (for the kids in the wedding) to moving a couple of times around the venue, they were the consummate professionals. They really added a special touch to our wedding.

He played wonderfully the songs that the deceased had been practicing and it felt like the music I had heard over the years was still there for me to appreciate and enjoy.

I have had the pleasure of working with La Folia Chamber Ensemble since 2010. La Folia plays during our colleges annual White Coat Ceremony and they do a wonderful job. The Ensemble brings a special memorable element to each event every year.

I have employed the services of La Folia Chamber Ensemble before and every time they have met and exceeded my expectations. I too am a musician and so much appreciate the professionalism of these great musicians. They are prompt, always easy to work with and come to the event totally prepared for the task before them. The events we do are high end and require an ensemble of this caliber. I would not hesitate to have them time and time again. They have delighted my guests and clients both. True excellence.

For any Bride and Groom reading this endorsement: I am Rev. Michael, and over the past decade I have Officiate thousands of Wedding Ceremonies, and without a doubt the most memorable and enjoyable Ceremony I ever Officiated used the La Folia Chamber Ensemble. Versus disk jockeys and string quartets, they outshine them all. They offers all types of music from rock to swing. After the Ceremony, I heard so many compliments from the guests as to what a treat it was not to have the typical disk jockey music. The Bride also told me how Jerry gave she and her husband to be so many tips and guidance to make their Ceremony an event to remember. Jerry and his ensemble exude the touch professionalism that I rarely, if ever, encounter. You would be remiss in not at least calling Jerry to find out for yourself.
