We suggest that you pick 10 songs that you’d like to hear on the day from our diverse song list, and we’ll tailor the rest of the set around your chosen songs. You can also tell us if there are any songs you would not like to hear on the day. We will also learn your first dance/special request for free to perform live, as long as it is sent through at least 2 weeks before the performance date. Any other songs that you’d like us to perform that are not in our repertoire list will be changed as extra for the learning time.
