Consider the pieces of music and songs

By the time you have chosen the band or artists you want to play at your wedding you will probably be familiar with the music they play as their set list or repertoire info is listed on their profile pages.

In most cases the selection of songs or pieces of music which artists play will be left to their discretion. They are in the perfect position to suggest or choose the ideal selection of music from their repertoire to suit your requirements.

Requests
Should you have a specific piece of music or song in mind which you simply must have at your wedding, you are perfectly welcome to make requests and our artists will try their best to accommodate (within reason). These requests should be forwarded to Alive Network well in advance of the event.

You may also choose a specific selection of songs or pieces of music from the repertoire info provided on the artists profile page. These selections should again, be forwarded to us well in advance.
