What's on your play list for music

We will have some instrumental music in the background

We’ll simply play a string of the softer song covers from Vitamin String Quartet.

We'll let our DJ decide.

However, I'd like to have All of me by John Legend and some tracks by Ed Sheeran.

The rest, the DJ or maybe my husband will have some preferences.

I spent a year add all our favs to a playlists and then after editing together we added classics and fun dance jams, 7 plus hours of awesome tunes. Our playlist get quite metaly and more explicit as the evening goes on. That is when the party will shift to more fun and the older and young should be headed out!!!

I plan on Rick-rolling everyone, Rick Astley is the final sone, hehehe

I find the Dj's here aren't that great. There's one DJ I would trust but would be awkward to hire since he's my ex from the past but he is great at was he does. Also it's such a small venue and we are only there from 3-9 it's not really worth the extra money and fees.

You know you have a good DJ when he can read the room, I love the different genre of music to please everyone's needs.

Nothing worse than dead air, he should be prepared. Still disappointing when you pay someone and make a list and he kind of blows it off.

Ours used a bit of soft piano while the guests were being seated & waiting. For the wedding party entry we used 'Marry Me' by Train and for the recessional used 'S-I-M-P-L-E' by Florida Georgia Line. Reception was a bit of a mixed bag - we had several different genres including 80s, 90s (my wife and I are both over 50), some country (my wife is a huge fan, as are her siblings), some Irish (I'm of Irish background) in addition to modern popular music. We gave the DJ a list that we wanted played, he used most of them. Also he did a pretty good job of 'reading the room' and using what he thought would get people dancing.

I had the same thoughts at first but then we spoke to him and actually had other people comment from the bridal groups I'm in saying he was great at their weddings, we knew we would be ok. I think you need to have the right person!

So first it took a bit to actually meet up with our DJ. I laid it all out there, exactly what we wanted to hear for ceremony, cocktail hour, reception dinner and dancing. Ceremony was perfect, cocktail hour - I was told it was good, but no one could remember LOL, dinner we wanted movie instrumental versions of the 80/90's movies - it was amazing - guests had a great time trying to figure out the song / movie. However, DJ was a little unprepared in my eyes. We heard some dead air, like he was searching for the songs on his phone I made it a point to tell him exactly the genres, including the Latin songs i wanted to hear for my family. Latin - everything was played, but again only 1/3 of the genres were played. I was a bit bummed about it but my guests did tell me they enjoyed the music so I guess I shouldn't complain

That was my fear with a DJ that he would just do his own thing, but glad your guests were enjoying themselves.

I put everything I wanted to hear at a wedding and also asked my guests what they wanted to hear.

I was afraid to go with a DJ, my friend hired one and his play list was lame, not a lot of people were dancing until a good song came on.

So many options out there, everything works these days.

We had the band play some soft acoustics, Norah Jones, John Mayer, I thought these were nice, soft, entrance songs

We had a DJ for the entire day. We gave him all the genres we wanted to hear. He played 1/3 of them. But he was hit with the guests 😊

We let our DJ decide and read the room
