Want to discuss details and changes to your wedding reception? You're bound to have a bunch of questions, after all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event! After you hire us for the big day, we'll send you a packet explaining how to plan your music. We'll let you know what we need, such as space and electrical outlets.

Instrumental or vocal, upbeat or romantic. Can't decide which direction to go with your first-dance song? Give us a call - we can help you choose. Leading up to your wedding day, you're welcome to unlimited phone or email consultations with us.

Listen to a recent rehearsal recording of Get out of town by the Toe Tapping Ticklers.
