Keep a Spotify Playlist
You can’t remember all the songs you’d like played at your wedding. I’ve seen brides struggle to remember even one song they like. It takes time, being with different people and in different settings to re-find songs you love.
It’s the same for DJs, that’s why their library of music is so important to them. These libraries take years of hunting and pecking for songs, rare gems we to often forget about.
You might be nervous giving your DJ a big Spotify list of songs, but don’t be. The more I get to learn about my couple, the better. And often, you’ll remind me of a song I stopped playing. What a great time to bring it back!
A good DJ not only reads a crowd, but does whatever they can to learn about the crowd. Maybe you’re spending a night with your Maid of Honor, and you start jamming to a song which you both loved in high school. Put that song into your playlist, and then give that playlist to your DJ. It’s a win for everyone.
