Thank you so much for your booking, I really appreciate it. I want your party to be a huge success and to do this I need to prepare some music requests in advance. This page contains downloadable guides for what you need to do next, and downloadable forms for you to fill in your music requests.
You may have booked me to be your DJ for the evening party, and maybe you have booked my daytime services too, such as my ceremony music production service, background music production service, and you may also have booked me as your Master of Ceremonies. As my clients book me for different services, I will explain what needs to happen, and by when for each type of service I provide. Typically, I would like all the information from you about a month before your event. Some of these may not be relevant to you.
If you have booked me for ceremony music and / or Master of Ceremonies duties, I will arrange for us to have a planning meeting about a month before your wedding. The checklists below, and the music request forms are a really useful guide to what you need to prepare for this meeting, please do download, print, and use them if you wish.
No printer at home? Let me know, I can send them in the post!

We will discuss all the details at our planning meeting about a month before the event.
