How to request a specific song
When you book, you'll have a chance to share a list of must-plays and a do-not-play list. Most couples send 5-10 must-plays and 2-3 do-not-plays. The rest is the band reading the room, which is the whole reason you book a real live act.
What if the song isn't in our repertoire?
Every MusicAngel package includes one new song learned specifically for the couple, typically the first dance. If you have a specific must-have song beyond that, ask early. Some bands will learn additional new songs as a paid extra.
