Wedding Playlists 2.0: Let Guests Request Without Ruining the Vibe

Your wedding DJ is not a magician. They need to know what your guests want, but they also need to respect your "Do Not Play" list.

Weddings are unique. You have three generations in one room. Grandma wants Elvis, your college friends want Drake, and your little cousin wants Skibidi Toilet (please, no). How do you manage this?

The Digital Buffer

Traditional request cards at tables are cute, but slow. By the time the DJ gets them, the moment has passed. A live digital request system acts as a buffer. Guests scan a QR code at their table, search for a song, and submit it.

Here is why this saves the wedding:

• No Awkward Interactions: Guests don't need to approach the DJ booth awkwardly during the first dance.
• The "Maybe" Pile: The DJ can see requests coming in and weave them into the set if they fit. "Wagon Wheel" might work at 11 PM, but definitely not during dinner service.
• Vibe Checks: If the requests are trending towards 80s pop, the DJ knows the demographic on the floor has shifted.

Setting Boundaries

With GuestDJ, you can use Mood Presets to block entire genres like "Heavy Metal" or "Classical" with one tap. If a guest tries to request the Chicken Dance during a Hip-Hop set, the app politely tells them "This genre is not allowed." You are the bad guy, so the DJ doesn't have to be.

It's the perfect compromise between a strict playlist and a free-for-all.
