About this deal

If you’re booking a DJ to perform alongside a live wedding band or wedding singer then you will need to allow separate space for each to setup and perform around the dancefloor. Sometimes it’s possible with enough advance warning, for the band and DJ to combine their equipment into the same space, or share the same PA speakers. If you only brought 30 songs to a one-hour DJ set, there is no room to adjust your playlist to the crowd’s reaction. When you’ll be playing at least 2 minutes on average of each song, divide the hours that you’ll be DJing by 2 minutes. So for 1 hour, you’ll divide 60 minutes by 2. Resulting in 30 songs for a one-hour DJ set. Bringing live music / singing into DJ sets adds creative and visual interest, adding the ‘live’ feel but without the logistics of hosting a full live band. Most acts combine a human DJ with a live musician(s), but some ditch the DJ for a pre-arranged playlist over which the musicians perform live. The best Wedding DJs tailor their performances specifically for your requirements, liaising with you well in advance of your big day to ensure their playlist for the night contains all the music that YOU love best. They will also take requests from guests on the night, so long as the requests are appropriate.

While a few Wedding DJs may specialise in a certain genre of music such as dance, house or RnB, most could better be described as popular music DJs, with a wide collection of hit music spanning 1950s through to the current day. Such DJs are able to provide sets that cater to a wide range of musical tastes, often reading the audience and adapting their set on the fly to ensure their music keeps your guests dancing all night long. Traditionally Wedding DJs would supply a huge collection of hit records on vinyl, but nowadays they’ll mix high quality music from CD and digital sources such as MP3. A professional Wedding DJ will provide a self-contained service including all their own sound / PA and lighting equipment – often allowing their microphone and PA to be used for speeches. You’ll most likely want both your band and your DJ to be setup before the evening party begins, so they can seamlessly transition between performances. Some DJs offer an early setup option for a nominal extra fee.

All Wedding DJs will make announcements on the night, introducing the bride and groom for their first dance, cutting the cake, opening the buffet and giving shout-outs where required.There is another important factor that will determine how many songs are in a DJ set, and that is your mixing style. Are you a person that doesn’t like to play songs for a long time before mixing in another song, then you’ll have more songs in your DJ set

There are no maximum recommended songs in your entire music library. What is however very important is that you can keep all those songs organized and easy to find. This includes sorting them by genres, categories, energy levels, tags and/or keys.

Frequently Asked Questions

So, take the amount of songs you are going to be playing per hour based on the genres you are going to play and multiply them by 2 or 3 times. So if the night goes exactly as you planned, the number of songs that you’ve calculated would be enough. But you don’t want to do that, because you always want to have some room to switch things up in case the crowd is not feeling the current song or the energy level. So you have to give yourself options to choose from.
