Introduction
Planning your wedding music doesn’t have to be stressful. It’s not about picking 150 tracks one by one—it’s about designing moments that flow with intention. Here’s a practical guide—from the booth—so your playlist isn’t a mess (and not a never‑ending list nobody uses).

1) Think in moments, not single songs

Each part of the day has its mood. Design the journey first, then add 3–5 references per block.

Simple music map

• Ceremony: emotional and clear. 2–3 pieces that support the vows without covering them.
• Cocktail: social and conversational. Funk/indie/soft pop; comfortable volume.
• Dinner: warm and agile. Familiar songs at low volume; leave room for short toasts (~3 min).
• Dancefloor opening: a strong, recognisable track; the couple leads 2–3 songs.
• Party: blocks by decades/styles; big sing‑along hooks and clean transitions.

2) Balance what’s personal with what connects

Your story matters—and so do your guests. The secret is to blend.

How to do it

• Include your must‑plays (5–10 meaningful tracks) and not to play tracks. (5-10).
• Add floor‑fillers that unite generations (strong choruses/hooks).
• Avoid long single‑genre runs: alternate rhythmic families so no one drops off.

Common mistakes

• Trend playlists that don’t sound like you.
• Slow songs to open the floor.
• Random requests at any time (they break the climax).

3) Leave room for the DJ’s intuition

The best playlist doesn’t have a rigid order… it has soul. Your DJ needs margin to read the room and decide live: raise/lower BPM, open sing‑along hooks or switch decade.

Give freedom with control

• Share must‑plays and no‑plays (keep the total under 20).
• Keep the running order open so the DJ adjusts to real‑time response.
• Group interventions (announcements, surprises) so the flow doesn’t break.

Mini‑checklist (save it)

• ✅ Design by moments, not by single songs.
• ✅ Blend your story with classics that bring everyone in.
• ✅ Leave space for room‑reading.
• ✅ Avoid long interruptions; keep toasts short and grouped.
