How to fire 2 Speedlights and one studio strobe wirelessly on location

Hello!
This might be a really stupid question, but i've just purchased the Strobies Interfit Pro Flash 360 and want to be able to trigger that wirelessless as well as two other off camera flashes. I'll be using this set up at weddings, with my two speedlights at the corners of the dance floor and an assistant holding the strobe next to me to illuminate the couple. What's the best way to do this? I know i could get a wireless trigger for the strobe and use the speedlights on slave mode, but is there a way of having them all on a trigger?

My idea was to buy a YongNuo YN-622N Wireless TTL Flash trigger, attaching one to the camera and two receivers to the speedlights, then attach a strobies pro flash transmitter to the top of the built in YN-622N hotshoe, with the receiever on the strobe. Will this work?
I really don't want to buy the wrong things! Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

The Interfit 360 flash is rated as 360 watt seconds of power. The speedlights are at most maybe 75 watt seconds, so you might want to reconsider which goes in the room distant corner, and which is used up close to the subject.

Yongnuo claims of the YN622: "You can buy a PC Sync Cable RF-603 6.35mm cable to connect the transceiver with the studio flash". (said at Yongnuo YN-622N Wireless TTL HSS 1/8000S Flash Trigger 2 Transceivers for Nikon )

Thank you for your quick response! I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to off camera flash, it's something i'm trying to get to grips with, so triggers and cables are a little foreign to me. I've worked with a photographer who uses the setup i've mentioned and the results are fantastic, he doesn't have his strobe on full power.

Do you think the triggering set up i mentioned wouldn't work? I can't find anything concrete online to suggest it would work. I've found videos of people testing triggers on top of the YN622 hotshoe and some work where as others don't.
I've also never used a PC Sync cable. Would i just need to buy the Yongnuo YN-622N transceivers, attach one to the camera, two to the flash units and one to the strobe, then connect the cable from the strobe to the attached transceiver?

Hopefully these questions aren't really stupid, i obviously have quite a large gap in knowledge when it comes to off camera flash.

Thanks again

The Yongnuo link provided says it works, with the proper connecting cable (one that fits it). The YN622 has a hot shoe on it, but the studio light does not fit a hot shoe. So you use a cable to connect them, can be a short cable, but with a fitting proper for each end. The cable provided with the flash surely has a PC fitting at the camera end, which probably does not fit the 622, so a different cable may be needed, to fit each end.

The Strobies Pro Flash 360 fits on a hot shoe, but my plan was to have it being held on boom pole with the Strobies Pro-Flash receiver attached (http://interfitphotographic.com/product/strobies-pro-flash-transmitterreceiver-set/)
and the YN-622N sat on my Camera with the Strobies Pro-Flash Transmitter sat on top via the hot shoe. The 622 will then trigger the two speedlights i'll have set up, with the Pro-Flash transmitter triggering the strobe.

If this won't work i'll revert to the cable though...
