Choose the job before the song
Background music fills an interval; a processional song follows moving people. For each moment, decide whether you need a complete track, a fade-out or a particular start point. The builder totals full recording lengths, so tell your DJ about planned cuts.
Build a musical arc
For arrival, choose music that leaves room for conversation. Give entrances and formal dances their own named tracks. Dinner can stay calmer before you move into familiar, higher-energy songs for dancing. A “last dance” is a deliberate closing cue, not simply the last song in a shuffled queue.
Calculate coverage without false precision
At an assumed three minutes thirty seconds per track, an hour needs about eighteen tracks: 60 ÷ 3.5 = 17.14, rounded up. Crossfades shorten that total; announcements and live performances change it again. The selected-moment counter shows the difference between your entered durations and the target block.
What belongs in the handover?
- Exact recording or mix, artist and a reference link if versions could be confused.
- Must-play tracks and genuine exclusions, including clean-version requirements.
- Who gives each cue and who can approve a change.
- Whether guests may request songs.
- A backup device and an agreed operator if there is no DJ.
Why are there no automatic streaming playlists?
This tool is a planning document. It does not connect to Spotify or Apple Music, play recordings or claim that a track is available in your country. Add songs you actually want, then confirm availability and the playback arrangement with your supplier.
Which family dances should we include?
Only the ones you want. Use the dance-order guide to arrange a sequence that fits your family. Put ceremony music cues into your officiant script and match the reception blocks to the run of show.
