Can your wedding DJ spin any tune you desire? Absolutely!
Modern wedding DJs can access a vast music library thanks to online music stores like iTunes, Google Play, Spotify and Amazon. Gone are the days of limiting your choices to what the DJ brought on CDs or records. You’re no longer restricted to preset playlists; the options are virtually limitless.
Now, let’s talk about the music’s cost. Typically, it’s the DJ who bears the expense. Occasionally, couples request obscure tracks, often for cocktail hours. In such cases, DJs can create Spotify playlists, ensuring your unique selections still make it to your celebration. Moreover, DJs usually invest in new songs, adding five to ten fresh tracks for each wedding.
The Problem With Streaming
While Spotify can come in handy for impromptu requests, it’s advisable to have most of your music downloaded. Streaming music during the event can be precarious, with the potential for interruptions due to poor cellular service or lack of WiFi.
Some songs are exclusively found on YouTube, particularly remixes. If you have such requests, inform your DJ, and they can download the tracks before the wedding.
Many couples provide their DJ with a playlist of preferred songs. Here are some tips on building a wedding playlist. The DJ then complements these selections with similar tracks to keep you and your guests dancing all night. Some even specify a “do-not-play” list to avoid unwanted tunes. This is something we cover during the consultation.
In conclusion, ensure you share your preferred songs with your DJ in advance to curate the perfect playlist for your special day. If you forget a song, we can easily acquire it from Spotify, as long as there’s a reliable internet connection. Steer clear of YouTube streaming during the wedding to avoid unexpected interruptions and advertisements!
