Q: Can we choose the music to be played at our event?

A: You�ll be amazed at how flexible we are when it comes to music selection!

That�s because our experience has taught us that keeping the dance floor packed is influenced by many factors, including the order and style in which the songs are played, the way songs are mixed together, and DJ interaction.

We�ve had clients that have chosen every song for the entire event and others that have left the music selection completely up to us. Our recommendation is to provide us with a list of �must play� songs and list of �play if possible� songs. This will leave plenty of room for requests from your guests and DJ selections.

You may also stipulate that we not take requests from your guests, that�s completely up to you. We will try to accommodate requests that fit into your guidelines and the time that we have to play them.

Most importantly, have fun and select music you want to hear and dance to. After all, it�s your event!

Q: Can we have a �do not play� list?

A: Sometimes your "do not play" list is equally important or more important than the "request list" itself!

Rest assured that if a guest requests a song that is on your "do not play" list, it will not be played. Please keep in mind that your taste in music will most likely differ from that of your guests.
