We had Central Avenue perform at our wedding in Farnham. They did a fantastic job entertaining our guests. We had lots of compliments! They were very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely have them again for a future event.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

I can use my PA to play music in between my sets during my breaks but not after.

How much time do you need to set up?

I usually take between 30-45 minutes to set up my PA.

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

My set list is crafted from countless performances and learning what works best to ensure guests have an amazing time. However, I am definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event and I always suggest picking your top 10 song choices from my set list so I can include them on the day.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes, absolutely!

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

If a song isn't included in my song list there may still be a chance that I already know it. If there is a special song you'd like me to learn I am happy to do this for you.
