Where could i look for pan flute players?
Cassie, on July 16, 2021 at 7:40 PM

I'm going for a fairy/fae garden vibe for my wedding and pan flute music is perfect for this. But obviously this isn't a common musical instrument. Does anyone have suggestions for how to go about...

For those of you who did not hire a DJ how did you do your music? I am setting up playlists on Spotify to be played but am not sure the best way to go about getting the sound out if that makes sense?...
