The basics
Start here. Your first answer shapes the rest of the form.
Check everything that describes a meaningful chunk of your guest list — this tells me how wide to spread the music.
The feel of the night
Before we get to specific songs, what should the room feel like?
Check as many as you want.
Five or six names is plenty.
Genres & eras
This grid is gold. Rate a few genres and eras and I can build your entire night from it. Skip anything you're unsure about and I'll use my judgment.
Ceremony
If you'd rather I suggest options for any of these, just write "your pick" and I'll bring you a short list.
Featured moments
The points in the night where a specific song matters. Leave blank anything that doesn't apply.
Quinceañera waltz, hora, polka set, a specific hymn. Tell me what it is and when it happens.
Cocktail hour
This music sets the mood while everyone mingles.
Dinner
Usually a touch warmer and more familiar than cocktail hour, still under the conversation.
Formal dances
Skip any you're not doing. For each one, tell me if you want the full song or a shortened edit — most first dances feel long past about two and a half minutes.
Hora, tarantella, quinceañera waltz, polka set, a specific hymn. Tell me what it is and when it happens.
Open dancing
The main event. This is where your must-play list lives.
One per line. These get played, guaranteed. Around 20 is the sweet spot: it locks in your favorites and leaves me room to work the crowd.
The one that gets your people up. Leave it blank and I'll read the room.
Family favorites, inside jokes, the one your college friends lose their minds over.
Check the ones you want. Anything unchecked, I won't play.
The last song
The last song is the one people remember.
Sparklers, a getaway car, an after-party the crowd is invited to — anything I should play into.
Never play these
Just as important as the must-play list. If a song would make you cringe, put it here.
A song tied to someone who has passed, a family situation that makes a certain dance awkward, a name not to use. This stays between us.
Guest requests
Decide now so I know what to say when someone walks up to the booth.
Ideally someone other than you, since you'll be busy. Name and phone number.
A request line on the invitation or website usually turns up songs I'd never think of.
Anything else
The catch-all. If it matters to you, it matters to me.
Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube — paste anything you've already built.
