It's not very often that I pick up short notice stuff but I've just got a Wedding booking for the 30th September a week on Sunday!

The couple have booked a singer but failed to realise he go's home after his second set. I just happened to be at the venue this afternoon helping them out with some noise checks as they've had a few complaints from the neighbours and was chatting to one of the Wedding planners who mentioned it and asked if I was available and luckily I was so she emailed the bride, bride phoned me, bride spoke to Husband to be and I got an email at 9pm saying they'd like to book and for me I just love their playlist:

19.00-19.50
Chill out dance anthems

21.00-22.00
Indie tracks - (inc the kooks, razorlight, oasis, arctic monkeys, the killers, kaiser chiefs etc)

22.00 - our first dance
Bruno mars - just the way you are

22.45-00.15
Recent dance - (inc Swedish house mafia, David guetta, avicii, nikki minaj, example, Calvin Harris, rihanna, Chris brown, black eyed peas, tiesto, Steve aoki, LaidbackLuke etc)

Let me know if any of this would be a problem to put together.

We do not want any requests.

There are 3 songs we would love you to play in the last hour and a half which are:
Tim Berg - Seek Bromance
2nd to last track = The Killers - Mr Brightside
Final track of the night = 30 seconds to Mars - Closer to the edge

Now, that I'm looking forward to!

And thanks to Echosign it's all tied up now and full payment is sat in my account :D

It's always good to pick up last minute bookings when you're available - it's a service that I've provided for a while (and for a premium!! ;) )

My only concern would be "we don't want any requests". Now, from what you've posted, it looks like you've been given a set of guidelines as opposed to a rigid playlist. So, if someone comes up and says "Can you play Turn Up The Music?" then you'd have to say "Sorry, mate. No requests" as it's technically a request even though Chris Brown is on your guidelines list. Does this make sense? Now my head hurts!! :daft:
