This year especially, more and more Brides and Grooms want their own pre-selected music. Below is my email response to them and then they re-considered and changed their minds, this creating a full dance floor instead of...Well you know! Here's my response:
"Hello and good morning (Insert name of Bride and groom),
How are you? Sure, you may select the entire play list and send the list to us via email, it must be in Microsoft Word Document. However, if you do select the entire play list for the night, that means a couple of things, we have no "creative" control at all, in other words, if any one of your guests comes up to us during the night and request songs we have to decline them (Which never looks pretty)...And it also means, whatever music you two choose, your other guests may not like, and they would think we choose it...And thus, they may leave earlier than you had wished and expected.
We would also have to announce on the mic prior to any open dancing that you two have meticulously selected the music for the reception and there will be no requests. (Thanks To Cap for this part
As far as the music format, if you, the client, gave us your music it would have to be mp3 only and on a USB or CD. This is the only format our computers will play.
Hope this helps!
