Want to let your clients request songs for their event? BookLive makes it easy. **How Song Requests Work** Your clients can submit song requests directly through their booking portal. No more back-and-forth emails or spreadsheets - everything lives in one place tied to their event. You'll see all requests in your dashboard where you can approve or deny each one. Approved songs get added to your library and show up on your setlist. Denied requests? You can add a note explaining why (maybe it doesn't fit your style, or you'd need to learn it). **Charge for Special Requests** When you approve a song request, you can add a line item to the invoice to cover the cost of learning it. Great for requests outside your usual repertoire - the client sees the charge clearly tied to their special song. **Managing Song Requests** Song requests are enabled by default. If you'd like to turn them off, go to Library -> Song Requests tab to toggle the setting. Questions? Drop them in the comments!

Here's a quick video walkthrough from a nonprofit gala gig I played on Saturday. Got it by being on the venue's preferred vendor list! I look kinda weird in a masquerade mask. Pay: $1,250 I sent them a Proposal in BookLive (including a nonprofit discount), and they accepted, signed the contract, and paid the balance in full.
