Song list
Songs Available for your event
Do you provide your own sound system?
Yes! I have a Bose L16 Line Array system - extremely powerful and enough for very large rooms. I will also bring a Bose S1 pro, which is a smaller system, perfect for more intimate events. Both systems can be paired via Bluetooth and used at the same time if required. Bose systems provide extremely crisp, high quality sound, perfect for any occasion.
Do you have a microphone we could use for the ceremony and/or wedding breakfast/cocktail hour?
Absolutely! I have a wireless system, linked up to my speakers. Perfect for speeches. I am also able to record through the microphone - I am able to mix these speeches and get them to you - keep hold of those memories forever.

What are your power requirements?
Not much! 2x wall sockets close to my performance area is all I require! My smaller Bose speaker system is battery powered and can last for around 4 hours with no power, if this is all that is required.
How much space do you need to be able to play at an event?
A surface of 2 meters by 2 would be perfect.
Can you perform in outdoor settings (beach, field, forest, etc.)?
Yes, as long as there is enough space for me to set up my equipment in a levelled and dry surface (in case of rain, I need a covered space where I can set up my equipment safely.
Do you have any other specific requirement from the venue?
My only requirement is to have on-site parking, preferably at the shortest possible distance from the performance space.
I have a very specific idea of the music I want at my event. Can you play whatever I want?
My main goal is to make your vision for your special occasion come true, so I work directly with my clients to create their Ultimate Wedding Playlist or the perfect event song list. Your personalised playlist can be composed of songs from my library of over 300 songs available here and I can also take up to two special requests included in the price!
I don’t know what songs to choose for my event. Do you have a setlist?
If you prefer to avoid the usually overwhelming task of choosing songs for your event, I have a large repertoire of over 300 songs to pull from as well as various genre themed song lists. You can simply let me know the ambiance you want to go for and I’ll select the pieces to play accordingly.
Can you adapt a song to a specific musical style or genre?
Mostly yes :) All songs can be played more slowly or quicker to create a different ambiance.
How can I get an idea of how my chosen songs will sound like at the event?
I want your event to be nothing but perfect and just as you imagine it. If you hesitate between songs or versions of a song, I can record and send you a song demo for you to listen to when choosing the music for your event.
Do you take song requests during events?
Yes I can, if my client agrees to me taking requests beforehand. Please keep in mind it can be disruptive of the flow and energy of the event as this means people come talk to me, I need to stop playing, search for the music online and then play it. Your venue should also have a good internet network for me to download the scores of the requested song to my music tablet.
How much does it cost to hire Oli Sanchez for my event?
Because each wedding or event is so unique with a variety of elements to take into account, rates vary from event to event. I offer different customisable packages for each client to choose from in order to make sure you get exactly what you need.
For more information on packages or to request a quote, you can contact me here.
How long in advance should I contact you for my event?
This depends on the type of event. Some private and corporate events allow for a last-minute reservation without a problem, while weddings tend to require a bit more time of preparation (playlist, attire, transportation arrangements, etc.). Ideally, you would contact me a few months beforehand to confirm availability and start working together on your event’s specificities. However, I do accept short-notice reservations if I happen to be available for your event’s date :)
You can contact me here to confirm date availability, or you can make a direct reservation here.
What happens if you get sick or are unexpectedly unable to attend my wedding or event?
If something serious happened that meant I genuinely couldn’t perform — illness, injury, or anything beyond my control, I’d let you know immediately. From there, I’d do everything I can to help, either by arranging a trusted replacement or offering a full refund of any fees already paid.
My goal is always to support you and make sure your event is in good hands, no matter what.
These are the answers to some of the most common questions I receive as a wedding and event Guitarist and Singer in Wales. If you have any question not covered above, feel free to contact me below.
