MASTER PLAYLIST 2018 Revision #1 Date: 04.17.18 The J. Ciampi Events Master Playlist is constantly evolving with new additions and updates. The material represented here is extremely time tested and proven to inspire your guests to enjoy a one of a kind celebration. For ease, the material is broken out categorically as ceremony, cocktail, dinner and dance sets to demonstrate selections that generally are requested to be performed during a certain segment of your event. Of course, there may be tunes that you wish to have played at your event that you don t see here. I try to be as accommodating and flexible as possible. This is something that I am more than happy to discuss and there is a high likelihood that we may already know it or we can add it within a very short request window! However, you are encouraged to not look at this list and determine what is missing. Perhaps, try to use this as a guide to understand that many years of diverse event experience and my choice of selections are a result of what really works for a large varied demographic. Of course, new tunes come along all the time and I certainly work hard to stay current and in synch with all of your wishes so therefore, this playlist endures frequent updates and additions Jim Ciampi J.
