Choosing A Wedding Reception Playlist

In this post, you will find all that goes into choosing the perfect playlist that will keep the guests on the dance floor.
To begin with:


#1. Have the songs in time.

Music CDs are being replaced by digital means of playing music. The likes of streaming from the internet.

With this new developments, it has made it even harder to build a music playlist that you can carry anywhere even without an internet connection.

Some wedding reception venues may not have a very strong phone network connection. This makes getting your playlist from let’s say, Spotify, very hard and it can ruin the whole event.

That’s why it’s a golden rule to download the songs into your laptop to save yourself from the disappointment.


#2. Be unpredictable.

The fun of having a dj in the reception is not by guessing what is coming next or how long your favorite song will play. An approximate of 1 minute is an ideal time to play each song although you should vary the lengths but don’t play the entire song!


#3. High tempo

For you to maintain the energy at the dance floor, 90% of the songs you play should be energetic songs (fast/high tempo) and the remaining 10% can have low tempo songs to make the audience relax before you drive the energies up again.


#4. Hits.

Since you are a dj, you now the trending songs of the month. Play the top include 10 pop songs in your playlist.
​
Lastly,
You have a huge wedding reception playlist make sure you don’t have spaces between tracks. Introducing silence when the guests are on the dance floor will kill the energy, never to be brought back.
Pack the songs one after the other all the way to the end.
