TIPS FOR THE BEST

WEDDING PLAYLIST

1

Ask guests for their favourite

song when they RSVP to

kick-start your research.

2

Download the Shazam App

(shazam.com) so you can

collect your favourite songs

as you hear them.

3

If you’re having a live band,

ask them if they need

you to supply playlists for

in between their sets.

4

If you’re doing your own

tunes, make individual

playlists for each part of the

night like ‘pre-reception

cocktails’, ‘dinner’, ‘early dance

floor’ etc. That way your MC

can make sure the music is

running smoothly (and you can

avoid guests skipping songs!).

5

Entrust someone like an

usher or friend to have

a fully-charged, back-up iPod

• never hurts to be prepared.

6

If you’re throwing the

wedding at home or on

a property, make sure you

check you have enough power

to run the lights and music

for the night. The last thing

you want is music cutting out

halfway through. In fact, having

a battery-operated or pre-

charged speaker on hand

can’t hurt. No harm in having

a Plan B, C and D!

7

Feeling shy about your first

dance? Invite your wedding

party to join you at a certain

point, and encourage guests

to hit the dance floor, too.#
