But what should our clients expect in the months leading up to their weddings? To help answer that question we’ve created a Pre-Wedding Timeline that includes ideas for list-making and deadlines for selecting different types of music. Click here to download the timeline.

When it comes to making those important musical selections, couples often have trouble getting started. To help with this process we’ve created an extensive set of Helpful Hints for selecting your wedding music. [UPDATE] This document also includes full lists of popular songs couples choose that may help get your own creative juices flowing. Click here to download the hints.

If you’re selecting songs you’d like performed live, be sure to check out the “Standard Setlist” for the musician with which you are working. You can find those lists on our About Page by clicking on the name of your musician. We’re always willing to learn and perform a song we don’t yet know specifically for your wedding. This option involves a small additional charge per song, click on the “Additional Services” tab for pricing details.

Lastly, when you’re ready to submit your preferences for dancing music during your reception, please use our interactive online DJ preference sheet. Click here to access the Online Form. Be sure to hit the “Submit” button at the bottom of the form when you’re finished. You’re welcome to submit this form more than once if needed. Also, if you need ideas, please consult the Helpful Hints resources listed above for potential song lists.
