Music Selection

Choosing your Music

Music selections are chosen to enhance each party or event. You may simply say “Play the crowd,” and I will use my experience to play appropriate music. Or, you may request songs to be played - even as far as providing the entire play-list for the evening. Your “play” and “no-play” lists will always be respected and adhered to.

If you need help choosing any of the thousands of available slow dances or party songs, contact us to set up an in-person consultation - all the songs are pre-loaded on the iMac - ready for you to hear!
