WeddingDJ Playlist
Unfortunatly there is no magic wedding party playlist that
the DJ can use to please everyone so its essential your wedding
DJ can read the crowd. Reading the crowd essentialy involves
knowing what was the most popular music tracks for each age
group are, and gauging at which point in the party its approppriate
to play these inporatant tracks.
However beacuse a Wedding DJ can only play a limated number
of tracks, its also very important to work out correct ratios
based on how positively each group is likly to react. For
example the preteens may hit the dance floor to tracks from
high school musical but later in the party these same tracks
will clear the dance floor if filled by older dancers. Likewise
gran may love the hits of the 60s but too many of these and
the dance floor will be a lonly place to be.
Requests on the night are a great way to help build a party
atmosphere, and often will remind people in the audince of
anogher occasion such as a birthday, engagment party or even
then hen night. This helps to create a feeling of involvement
and a shared senes of 'lets enjoy ouselves tonight.' Strangely
long prearranged playlists have the opposite effect and are
in all cases a disater. Requests are always welcome and we
encorage clients to send us a list of favourite music before
the event, but wedding playlists of more than 30 tunes do
not allow the DJ for room to manover and simply do not work.
In the past we have been sent long playlists which include
a huge range of different music styles. These lists are made
when each invited geust has been asked to suggest a music
track when they RSVP. The problem with this is that the DJ
needs to know who has asked for what and if they are actually
in the room at the time of playing. If you suggest a few of
your favourite tracks a experinced party DJ will know many
similar tracks and by reading the crowd and taking requests
work out a music selection that will work for everyone.
