{Wedding Tips & Tricks} Hey Mr. DJ, How Can I Request a Song? - Sound Wave Events - Boise Wedding DJ

We know that you have a very particular taste in music, and so do your guests! Not every dance or party song will get people movin' on the dance floor, and not every song that people love to dance to is regularly played. So how do you get your Sound Wave Events DJ to play your songs? Easy peasy. Check out these super simple ways to make sure your DJ hits play on YOUR favorite songs!

Jenn Emerling Weddings

​Planning Session - The easiest way to get your songs heard is to talk to your DJ during your planning session, which usually takes place about 6 weeks before your wedding. You'll get a planning packet from us where you can give us a detailed timeline for your day, including what music you'd like played for key events (grand entrance, first dance, cake cutting, etc). There is an area for your favorite genres, Must Hear songs for dinner and dancing, and even a place to put songs you definitely do not want to hear. 

​

RSVP cards (or website) - Include a line on your RSVP cards where guests can indicate which song they promise to dance to! When you receive the cards from your guests, just make a quick list of their requests, and send it to us in an email! This gives you the added benefit of being able to filter your guests requests to ensure no songs you absolutely don't want played slip into the playlist.

​Song Request Cards - These are provided free of charge with every event DJ'd by Sound Wave Events! Your DJ can keep a stack of them at the mixer, or they can be placed on each guest table. Guests can choose up to three songs per card, as many cards as they'd like, and give them to your DJ during your reception. This ensures everyone hears a song that they love!

Online Playlist - Websites are an easy way for you to add songs to your playlist from anywhere! Spotify is a great free site, and has a mobile friendly app! You can create multiple playlists (Dinner, dancing, key events, optional) and add songs from anywhere you have internet access. You can then share the playlist link with us, and we'll make sure your DJ has it ready!

​So, come on - Let's get this party started! Give us a call if you need song suggestions! We love to help :) Your Sound Wave DJ is a pro at his job and will read the crowd to see what's working, and adjust what's not. Our goal is for your day to be as stress free as possible, and get everyone having a great time! Our lighting and dance floors can help establish a dancing atmosphere, and our awesome Photo Booth is a great place to take a break and make some fun memories. 

We can't wait to celebrate with you!
