Hi Brendan,
Sunday was such a great and easy day for us all around. Your attentiveness was very appreciated. I did think there would be more funk and soul at the start of the reception (it went really quickly into modern music with not much 60s 70s and 80s). With that said the dance floor was kept pretty full, I was on it most of the night and all of the feedback from others was great – so all good here!
Thanks again,
Bea
Dear Beatrice,
Thanks for the feedback. We got hit with many requests and as much as I would have loved to keep up the soul and funk, your guests were on us all night. I took a look at the log and see that we were able to play about 14 funk/r&b/soul tunes from the 60s-70s, but it would have been nice to have had more time 🙂
Have a wonderful life together!
Brendan
