We aim to please our couples in anyway possible:

- Customized sets: You will receive a list of over 200 songs (ranging in all genres to please all kinds of crowds) to select requests from so we gear the set towards what we think your crowd will like, while getting in your personal favorite songs and making sure we don't play anything you don't want!
- Expanded group option: If you want to add trumpet and/or trombone for a full horn section, we can do that!
