Collaborative Playlist
Collaborative Wedding Playlist - Songs Your Guests Actually Want
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 create a playlist together with guests?
Every wedding has that moment: the DJ plays a song 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 playlist ensures every generation has something theyll dance to. You end up with a playlist that actually represents everyone in the room.
How do guests add their 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 DJs screen. Other guests can see the list too and vote +1 on songs they also want to hear. By the time dancing starts, the DJ has a live popularity chart.
Should I collect songs before the wedding or during?
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. The DJ gets a head start and can prepare. Then keep it open during the wedding for spontaneous requests based on the vibe. Before = well-thought-out classics. During = reactions to the energy in the room. Together = perfect mix.
Does the DJ have to play everything?
Absolutely not. The DJ has access to a dedicated panel where they see all music suggestions from guests. For each suggestion, they can see: the song title, artist name, and the time it was added. The DJ treats these suggestions as hints—a compass showing the musical taste of this specific guest group. Suggestions are guidance, not orders. The DJ maintains full control and decides what to play and when, based on the flow of the evening and the energy on the dance floor.
Does this work at traditional weddings too?
Yes! In fact, traditional weddings often generate the most unified suggestions—classics everyone knows and loves. At modern weddings with eclectic tastes, you get more variety, and the voting helps surface what resonates with the crowd. The system adapts to whatever vibe your wedding has.
The 70/30 rule for mixing suggestions with the DJs set
Experienced DJs recommend this approach: 70% of the playlist is the DJs professional selection—carefully planned for energy flow, transitions, and building the night. 30% is guest suggestions, woven in at key moments: after toasts, at the peak of dancing, toward the end. The DJ uses suggestions as a window into what this specific crowd loves. Must-play list of 10-15 songs from you? Add it on top. Best of both worlds.
