Hi everyone. I'm getting married in 2 months (eek!) and we have decided to create our own playlist for the evening instead of hiring a band/DJ - we're both passionate about music and would rather have control over what's being played. I'm confident that we can curate a really good playlist, I'm just not sure on the logistics of it. I just wondered if anyone else is doing this and how you're going about it? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Congratulations on your wedding! Going with a curated playlist is a great choice, it makes the reception feel incredibly personal.
For logistics, the most crucial tip is to have a dedicated person manage the tech. Use a laptop with all music downloaded (never stream) and connect it directly to a proper speaker system your venue provides or you rent. Create two separate playlists: one long, relaxed mix for dinner/background, and a carefully sequenced one for dancing where you control the energy flow.
It’s all about that seamless, enjoyable flow of entertainment. Getting that right is similar to the smooth, engaging experience you find when you play online on a well-designed platform.
