As well as taking song requests, I always ask for clients’ preferred songs or bands so that I can include them in my set list for the day.

The various lists below give a flavour of the sort of tunes you’ll hear for each style. Use it like a pic n’ mix, have a bit of everything or stick to one style if you prefer. This is just a selection of the moods and atmospheres you may want to create…
