6 Pointers for Putting Together the Perfect Playlist
Putting together a DJ playlist for a wedding or special event is an art.
Check out these tips for putting together a playlist your guests will love and dance to all night long!
1
Play the Hits
No matter how you slice it, there are certain songs people just want to hear. Play the hits!
2
90/10 Rule
When it comes to your song ratio of fast to slow, keep it 90% Fast Songs, 10% Slow Songs for best results.
3
Play Current Top 10's
No matter when the wedding is, play the top 5-10 pop songs on the radio that month to get guests on the dance floor!
4
No dead air.
Don’t leave any silence between songs – use a crossfade to create seamless transitions.
5
Don't rely on wifi.
Download the songs before you get to the venue so you don't have to rely on cell service or wifi for streaming.
6
Don't play full songs.
Only play a song for about 90 to 120 seconds to keep the crowd from getting bored.
