This was a hard dance party from start to finish, with the bride and groom, Lisa and Barry, leading the way. In advance of the event Lisa and Barry, plus their guests, made good use of the online music planning system giving me not only what they wanted to hear but why. This is so important as together with a relevant shout out from me, the music resonates strongly through the audience, creating waves of high energy.
The music mix was a wide variety of genres and styles - see the full playlist below.
