How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking 3–6 weeks ahead for weekends and peak seasons (summer, holidays, wedding season).

All you need to provide is access to electrical outlets and a flat space roughly 8 × 8 feet for our setup.

Can guests request specific songs?

Absolutely. With over 61,000 songs spanning every genre and decade, we cover almost everything.
