Should You Entertain Song Requests at Your Wedding?

Your wedding music plays an important role than you think. The music is not just there to entertain your guests or serve as a ‘filler’ so that there won’t be an awkward silence during the reception. The music you choose to play at your wedding reception plays a much more important role than that—it sets the mood at the venue and provides a way everyone will feel the emotions you share with your spouse. At the same time, it will draw in your guests to start dancing and enjoying themselves.


One of the common concerns many couples share is whether or not they will entertain song requests during such events. Your guests may not share the same taste in music as you do. If they request for a song to play at your wedding reception that you are not fond of, it may only be a waste of time for the DJ to play it. This is why you have to determine whether or not you will accept song requests at your wedding reception.

So what are your options on this matter? Here are some ideas on how you can deal with this decision:

Allowing Song Requests
If you will allow song requests to be made at your wedding, you may request your guests to list down their chosen titles on a piece of paper that you supply to them. This way, they do not have to go to the DJ’s booth and tell him the song they would like to be played. By listing down their song requests, you can have your wedding planner collect them and be the one to hand them over to the DJ.

No Song Requests
Meanwhile, if you decide not to entertain song requests at your reception, the best way you can handle this is to let your DJ be the one to deflect the requests during the wedding. However, you may opt to send your guests a piece of paper along with their invitations so they can list down their song requests beforehand. This way, you can go over the songs and pick out the ones that you can add to your list.

Whether you decide to entertain song requests at your wedding or not, make sure that you supply your DJ a ‘Do Not Play List.’ Include the songs or genre of songs that you do not want to listen to during your wedding. This will include songs you dislike, interactive songs (if you hate them), and past songs that you share with your exes. By having a list, your DJ will know which songs he should avoid.
