Produce Your Own Playlist or Leave It To The DJ - You Decide

I am primarily a Wedding DJ in the North East however I also DJ Parties of various types including birthdays and corporate functions.

With all of these different type of clients the music range can be everything from a waltz to full on Dance music.

A client may tell me that they like 90’s music that range is massive as an example the database I use has 2491 songs listed as released in the UK for 1990 alone !

So lets narrow it down a bit.

The guest request system that I have in place has proved very popular with many clients.


When a client confirms a booking with me they are sent a username/password that gives them access to the client area of my website. One section in here is the Guest request system, which gives them  a link and a password that they can send to their guests to enable them to make some music requests

The guests can browse the music library, select requests, and include special notes about the requests that they make. The client is notified whenever a guest logs on and makes a request. After navigating to the link the guests will need to log on using the date of the event and the supplied password.

The client is notified each time they make a request but these notifications can be turned off if they wish.

The client can also remove any tracks selected by their guests that they’d would rather not hear!

Further to this on the night I always announce on the microphone that guests are welcome to ask me for any requests they would like to hear, unless the client requests that this not be announced!


Some clients prefer not to get involved in the music choices for the evening that's fine also, the choice is yours.
