I welcome a list of your favorite songs!
Remember that I can play only fifteen songs per hour (assuming an average of
four minutes per song). I know you will want me to take requests from your
guests (within reason, of course). Lastly, I make my living by knowing
how to "read the crowd". Giving me some free rein with the play list will increase
the spontaneity and fun experienced during the festive portion of your
reception! Having a list of your favorite songs allows me to work in
the ones that lend themselves to the mood of your party. This best serves you
and the flow of the dancing, simultaneously!
