MUSIC SELECTION

Our music selection is mostly chosen by the bride and groom prior to our performance at the reception. Once a play list is formulated, the tracks are played off of one of three different mediums. We mainly stick to mp3, Minidisc, and occasionally CD formats. The mp3 and Minidisc formats will not skip and are the most reliable and flexible types to work with. Backup CDs are present just in case, and we do allow you to bring your own CDs for us to play.

The following are some suggestions to help you choose a selection for the different types of dances generally associated with our receptions. Note our music library extends to well over 9000 songs that range from about 1930 to the present day and that these are just suggestions.
