Yes. And no. You can choose SOME of the music, of course. It's your event and it's only right that you have a say in the playlist. Here's how we work it at mix'n'mac...

We send you a form with a dozen or so empty lines. You fill in the blanks and send it back. We play those tunes. Simples. We don't give you a list to pick from because (a) we don't actually have a list of all the songs we have, and (b) more importantly, that would be us influencing your choice. We'd be saying "pick your favourites from our list" rather than "pick your favourites". If we don't have your favourites, we go and get them.

We say pick a dozen so that there's time to play other people's favourites as well. There's usually only a couple of hours to fill and we like to make sure we cater for all tastes and to take a few requests on the night.

Anyhoo, it works for us and feedback suggests it worked for our past clients too. Feel free to pass comment...
