Wedding Playlist Created by Guests - Online Music Suggestions via QR
Why Create a Wedding Playlist Together with Guests?
A wedding playlist created collaboratively with guests ensures the music appeals to all generations at the wedding - from young pop fans to older disco enthusiasts. Instead of guessing what guests listen to, give them a voice. According to Weddie.app users, guests add an average of 62 musical suggestions during a wedding, and the DJ plays about 40-50% of them. Collaborative playlist creation engages guests in the wedding, gives them a sense of influence on the event, and eliminates disappointment when their favorite songs aren't played. The couple also receives a unique keepsake - a complete list of musical wishes from their loved ones.
How Do Guests Add Musical Suggestions to the Wedding Playlist via Weddie.app?
The music suggestion system in Weddie.app works without installing an app - just scan a QR code. The guest scans the QR code placed on the wedding table or displayed on the screen, opens the music suggestion form in their phone's browser, enters the song name and artist (e.g., Perfect - Ed Sheeran or Thinking Out Loud - Ed Sheeran), optionally adds a note for the DJ (This is our favorite song!), clicks Suggest. The suggestion goes immediately to the DJ's screen with the guest's name. The DJ sees all suggestions in real-time and can mark songs as Played when they play them. Guests see that their wish was fulfilled. The entire process from scanning to adding a suggestion takes 30-45 seconds.
When Can Guests Add Song Suggestions - Before the Wedding or Only During?
Weddie.app allows guests to add musical suggestions both BEFORE the wedding and DURING the ceremony. The couple decides when to activate the feature. Suggestions before the wedding: The couple can send a QR code to guests 1-2 weeks before the wedding (via email invitations or SMS), guests add favorite songs from home - well-thought-out suggestions, the DJ has time to prepare the playlist and find the requested songs, the couple can see guest preferences early and potentially veto inappropriate suggestions. Suggestions during the wedding: Spontaneous wishes based on the mood of the moment (when the party heats up, guests add energetic songs), Reactions to the music being played (if the DJ plays Latin music, guests add more Latin), Support for the DJ who sees live what guests expect. Optimal strategy according to Weddie users: collect suggestions 7 days before the wedding + keep it open during the wedding.
How Does the DJ Manage Musical Suggestions from Guests During the Wedding?
The DJ receives a dedicated panel in Weddie.app where they see all guest suggestions in real-time. The panel shows: Name of the guest who suggested the song, Song title and artist, Time when the suggestion was added (most recent on top or sort by popularity), Number of people who supported this suggestion (other guests can click +1 on suggestions they want to hear). The DJ can mark a suggestion as: Played (green icon - the guest sees the DJ fulfilled the wish), Skipped (gray icon - the song doesn't fit the mood), Queued (yellow icon - we'll play it later). The DJ has full control and decides which suggestions to include considering the flow of the evening, the mood on the dance floor, and the overall character of the wedding. The system doesn't automatically play suggestions - it's always the DJ's decision. The best DJs use suggestions as a compass showing the preferences of the specific guest group.
Does the Music Suggestion System Work for Every Type of Wedding - Traditional and Modern?
Weddie.app's suggestion system works great for both traditional weddings with classic music and modern weddings with electronic music. At traditional weddings with banquets, guests mainly suggest American/British classics: Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Michael Bublé. The DJ usually plays most of these suggestions as they fit the party's character. At modern weddings with international repertoire, suggestions include: Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Dua Lipa, The Weeknd, Imagine Dragons. The DJ plays those that fit the prepared set. At mixed weddings (tradition + modernity), suggestions are the most diverse - guests add 15-20 different music genres from pop through electronic to rock. The DJ balances between different preferences. Regardless of wedding style, the suggestion system gives guests a sense of participation in creating the musical atmosphere.
How to Combine Guest Suggestions with the DJ's Professional Music Plan?
The best strategy is to treat guest suggestions as a supplement, not a replacement for the DJ's professional set. The proven 70/30 method according to experienced DJs using Weddie: The DJ prepares 70% of the playlist according to their experience and evening flow plan (slow start at 6:00 PM, gradual energy build-up, peak at 10:00-11:00 PM, calmer ending at 1:00-2:00 AM). The remaining 30% is filled with guest suggestions at key moments: After the welcome toast (when energy is rising - play 2-3 popular suggestions), At the dance peak 10:00-11:00 PM (play the most popular suggestions with the most votes), Toward the end of the wedding (fulfill the guests' last wishes). The couple can also prepare a Must Play list of 10-15 songs that the DJ MUST play regardless of suggestions. Guest suggestions show the DJ what this specific audience expects and help them tailor the set to their tastes.
