Free planning toolPlaylist Builder Form
Build your perfect playlist: must-plays, your first dance and the songs you never want to hear.
How it works
Add your must-plays
The songs you’d be gutted not to hear on the night.
Add your do-not-plays
The songs you never want to hear. Your DJ will steer well clear.
Share it with your DJ
Send it to your DJ, who plans the night around it and reads the room for the rest.
How to plan your wedding or party playlist
The music makes the night. A great playlist gives your DJ the right direction while leaving room for them to read the crowd.
Pick your key moments
Choose songs for the big moments first: your entrance, first dance, cake cutting and the last song of the night.
Keep must-plays focused
A shorter list of real favourites works better than hundreds of songs. It lets your DJ fit them in at the right time and keep the floor full.
Think about every generation
Mix in songs for grandparents, parents and friends. The best nights are when everyone ends up on the dancefloor together.
Don’t forget the do-not-plays
Songs that bring back bad memories, or that you simply can’t stand. Your DJ will make sure they don’t get played, even if someone requests them.

Playlist builder FAQs
How many must-play songs should I choose?
A focused list of favourites works best. It gives your DJ direction while leaving room to read the crowd and keep everyone dancing.
Can guests request songs?
Your DJ can take requests on the night and will steer clear of anything on your do-not-play list.
Can I change my playlist later?
Yes, keep adding to it as ideas come to you. Just make sure your DJ has the final version before the day.
Do I need to book a DJ to use it?
No, anyone can use it. But if you’d like us to play it, our DJs would love to.
