We have a huge selection of music from different genres and eras including Classical, Pop and Rock and Film, TV and Musical soundtracks. We can also play religious music and accompany any chosen hymns during  your Church service. Our track list is available to view on this website and if your favourite numbers are not listed they can be sourced for you very easily. You may choose exactly what you want for every part of your special day or alternatively leave it to us. We are always very happy to advise and discuss what will be just perfect for you.
