Plan your event soundtrack
Start with the moments, then choose the music. A practical guide for your celebration.
Start with the moments
List the parts of your event that need their own musical mood: arrival, dinner, entrances, special dances, and open dancing. A short plan makes it easier to explain what you want your guests to feel.
Give your DJ a clear starting point
Bring a few must-play songs, a do-not-play list, and any family favorites. Include the exact artist and version for special moments. Share your guests’ age ranges and musical preferences so the conversation goes beyond a single playlist.
Leave room for live entertainment
If you are considering vocals, saxophone, violin, or other talent, decide where they fit into the schedule. Discuss song requests, venue space, and production needs before confirming the entertainment.
