How to Let Guests Request Songs at Your Wedding - Complete Guide
Instead of guessing what 100 people want to dance to, just ask them. Guests suggest songs, vote on favorites, and your DJ gets a crowd-sourced playlist.
See how it worksWhy let guests choose the music?
Every wedding has that moment: the DJ plays a track nobody knows, and the dance floor empties. Or worse—your carefully curated playlist appeals to you but not to your 70-year-old uncle or your college friends. The solution? Just ask people what they want to hear. A collaborative wedding playlist ensures every generation has something they'll dance to.
How do guests add song suggestions?
Dead simple. They scan a QR code (on the table, near the DJ, wherever), open a form in their browser, type a song name and artist, and hit send. Takes 30 seconds. No app, no login, no account. The suggestion shows up immediately on the DJ's screen.
When to collect songs - before or during the wedding?
Both work, and the best approach is to combine them. Send the QR link 1-2 weeks before—guests at home can add their favorites thoughtfully. Then keep it open during the wedding for spontaneous requests. Before = well-thought-out classics. During = reactions to the energy in the room. Together = perfect mix.
Does the DJ have to play everything guests suggest?
Absolutely not. The DJ has access to a dedicated panel where they see all music suggestions from guests. The DJ treats these suggestions as hints—a compass showing the musical taste of this specific guest group. Suggestions are guidance, not orders.
Does this work at traditional weddings too?
Yes! In fact, traditional weddings often generate the most unified suggestions—classics everyone knows and loves. The system adapts to whatever vibe your wedding has.
