A soundtrack for your celebration
The occasion gives the party its purpose, but your guests give it its character. A milestone birthday may bring several generations together. An anniversary may have songs with a shared history. An engagement party may need a relaxed arrival period before the dancing begins.
Share the atmosphere you want, the music that matters to you and the styles you would prefer to avoid. The plan leaves room to read the audience on the night while respecting your preferences.
Planning a milestone birthday
Start with who is coming, where the event will be held and how the evening will run. Identify any speeches or key moments, then decide when you want guests to settle in, socialize and dance. A clear written brief helps the music move naturally between those parts of the celebration.
- Send a manageable list of favourite artists, eras and must-play songs.
- Identify do-not-play selections and any boundaries for language or themes.
- Share timings for speeches or special moments with the relevant organizer.
- Introduce Peter to your venue or AV contact before the event.
