"I just wanted to thank you for your outstanding [violin & keyboard] performance at our daughter’s reception.
I’ve never seen so many people enjoying, and I really mean it, the music you played and how you played it.
I have no doubt that you could easily compete with Andre Rieu".
Best Regards
Mario

Each musician, ensemble, band and DJ will have their own particular music selections.
To simplify, you can:
Choose the style(s) of music (e.g. classical, jazz, Latin, pop, rock, etc.) or artists (e.g. ABBA, Bee Gees, etc.) and let the musicians or DJ choose the individual selections for you
Create a DO NOT PLAY list. this helps guide the musicians or DJ in their selection making process
Request certain selections from the "song list"
Special requests that are not on the "song list" are most likely do-able. For the live ensembles, an arranging fee will apply to create the music score and parts of the selections, if the music is not available in their current ensemble formation (e.g. string quartet). For DJ's, audio can be supplied by you. Check in with us re format (e.g. MP3)
