The only songs I need​ ​are your song for walking up the aisle (the processional) and your song for walking back up the aisle after you’re married (the recessional). Everything else you can leave to me as I know what works. If you do want to choose songs for the section as guests are arriving and during the signing of the register I’ve left a space for you to do that on the form.

The three most common ceremony songs I am asked to play are:

1. A Thousand Years – Christina Perri
2. Perfect – Ed Sheeran
3. The One – Kodaline

You can also ask people in our facebook community what songs they chose / are thinking of choosing.

It depends on the timings of your day. A standard set up would be 2 x 45 minute sets. However this may not work for you. I usually go with what is happening on the day and the timings are adaptable based on a number of factors. Sometimes I will play a full 90 minute set, sometimes 3 sets of 30 minutes or another combination. It depends on many factors so is adaptable on the day.

Ideally yes but my equipment is all battery powered so I don’t necessarily need it.

Wherever there is space. My set up is small so I can fit into most spaces. I can also follow your wedding party around if needed. If there are multiple rooms I can go completely acoustic and move from room to room. I can also play outside, you just need to check with your venue if they allow outdoor music.

1. You can create a Spotify playlist and share it with me (I show you how to do this later on this document).
2. You can give me your own device (iPod, iPhone, iPad or equivalent) that I can plug into my system.

My contract states that I should have a meal but I don’t usually ask for one unless the venue is in a remote location. Ask me beforehand. I appreciate your generosity in feeding me.

I’ll be there to ensure you know how to use the mic before the speeches start. I will usually assign one of your wedding party to be in charge. It’s very easy to work.

It depends. You have use of my sound system and microphone if you need it. Check with your venue, if they already have a sound system, microphone and playlists then you won’t need to use mine. If not then you can do one of two things:

1. Create your own Spotify playlist for me to play on my system (I show you how to do this later)
2. Provide your own device with your own playlist to plug into my system

Yes, if that’s what you’d like me to do. If so, then all of the above applies to the meal. I just ask that you decide whether you want me to sing during the meal OR the drinks reception as this gives me a few hours in the day to rest my voice and prepare for the evening.

Not really. The drinks reception can be quite a relaxed affair so I usually go with what people are enjoying. Leave it to me, I know what works. You don’t need the hassle of choosing my set list when you have so much else to think about. If you do want to pick songs however, just put them in the form at the end when it asks about particular songs you’d like. That’s OK as long as you leave me the flexibility to play what I think is right on the day.

For couples who have hired another DJ through me, I work with several DJs who all have their own planning systems. The process of choosing your evening music will be slightly different depending which DJ I have hired. We will be in touch to tell you how to move forward with choosing your evening music.

About an hour before the evening begins.

• Ask a friend or family member who does to put a list together and email you the link so you can put it in your form
• Contact me directly to discuss ways around it.
• Sign up! It’s free to make playlists and share them.

Again, it’s up to you. Remember that weddings are diverse affairs so maybe try to choose a little something for everyone. I have a generic playlist which is excellent for giving you ideas. Click this link to see it.

As many or as few as you want. Some people like to choose all of the songs, some people may like to get suggestions from their guests, some people like to just put a few into the list. Where you only add a few I can fill in the rest from some of the generic playlists I have. A good guide is 25 songs per hour of music to fill. If you have hired my equipment to play music through in the evening you will need around 3 hours of music (assuming you finish at 12am). So 3 x 25 = 75 songs. You can do more, you can do less, it’s up to you.

1. Create a Spotify playlist
2. Make the playlist public
3. Make it collaborative (so I can edit it as well)
4. Share your Spotify username with me

I aim to offer between 90 to 120 minutes of live music. This will be spread into 2 x 45 minute sets as standard which will be after the first dance and after a half hour break. I will usually finish my live sets between 8.30 and 9.30pm. 

It’s asking would you like me to sing the song live or would you like to have the original recording played through a sound system. Example, do you want me to sing Ho Hey live or would you prefer to have the DJ play the original version by the Lumineers?

Probably. Talk to me about what it is and we can work it out.

Yes of course as long as I can reach the notes.

Yes, I or my DJ will host the entire evening for you.

A minimum of two 13amp plug sockets located close to the place where we will set up.

About half an hour if it’s just me. If I have a DJ with me it can be up to one hour.

About 3 meters by 3 meters if I have a DJ with me. Please talk to your venue about space as sometimes they can push the dance floor right up to the wall and we end up having to set up on it.
