What five songs would you have to play? "My Girl" "Don't Stop Believin'" "Dancing Queen" "At Last" "I Will Survive"

Would you take requests? Do you have a general policy on this, and if you would do it differently for this wedding, why? I wouldn't handle it any differently for this wedding. If we know in advance, we will learn up to three new songs that do not appear on our song list.

If they left it up to you, what you play for the couple's first dance? "When You Say Nothing At All" by Allison Krauss

If you were told you absolutely had to get Queen Elizabeth II on the dance floor, what song would you play? "Could I Have This Dance" by Anne Murray

Which guest would you personally most want to sweep off his/her feet for a night of romance? Don't know how to answer the last question. I am happily married to Kittie Moller, our lead singer and have no desire to sweep anybody else off their feet except her.

What five songs would you have to play? "September" "Beat It" "Kiss" "Born To Run" "I Gotta Feeling"

Would you take requests? Do you have a general policy on this, and if you would do it differently for this wedding, why? Definitely! We typically check with the client to see if they want us to take requests so if they (or their planning staff) didn't have a problem then we would certainly play requests. We have a huge variety so it would be fun to see what songs they wanted to hear.

If they left it up to you, what you play for the couple's first dance? "Someday, My Prince Will Come"

If you were told you absolutely had to get Queen Elizabeth II on the dance floor, what song would you play? "Unforgettable" (If that doesn't work then of course it would have to be "Brick House")

Which guest would you personally most want to sweep off his/her feet for a night of romance? Victoria Beckham

What five songs would you have to play? I'd have to play a variety of classics. This is so I can touch base everyone at the event. And I mean PLAY the songs not just clinically try to sound like the records but let you know it's alive and we're laying it down! We would smoke each and every tune.

"My Girl" (Do you Really listen to the bass and guitar licks in this solid tune?) "What a Wonderful World" (You can't deny the sheer beauty of melody and lyrics) "In The Mood" (Swing it!) "Shake Your Body Down" (Feet tappin', head bobbin") "Play That Funky Music" (Rump shakin") (I got a feeling that tonight's gonna be a good night!) (Man, I was just getting warmed up.)

Would you take requests? Do you have a general policy on this, and if you would do it differently for this wedding, why? Yes, no problem it's your night and we want it special and tailored just for you! We do this for everyone! Our reputation really depends on it!

If they left it up to you, what you play for the couple's first dance? "The Way You Look Tonight"

If you were told you absolutely had to get Queen Elizabeth II on the dance floor, what song would you play? I would have to see how good she was groovin'. I'd like to see her get down and dirty but that may be too open for the Queen and she has to keep a stiff upper lip. After all she IS the Queen! So I'd call her out on " What a Wonderful World".

Which guest would you personally most want to sweep off his/her feet for a night of romance? None, I'm sorry but I'm happily married and have been for 32 years. I'm living the dream!

Would you take requests? Do you have a general policy on this, and if you would do it differently for this wedding, why? Yes, I would take requests.

It's all about tradition for me.

If they left it up to you, what you play for the couple's first dance? For the first dance, I would play "Heaven" by Bryan Adams.
