🎤 6 Things Your DJ Wished You Told Them Before the Wedding
(Like, are we allowed to play explicit lyrics… or is Grandma a pastor? Asking for a friend.)

Planning your wedding? You’ve probably thought about florals, first looks, and whether or not to force your bridal party into choreographed line dancing (please don’t). But while you’re knee-deep in Pinterest boards and seating charts, your DJ is over here wondering one very important thing:

“Is this the kind of couple who wants Cardi B… or clean Cardi B?”

Spoiler: We’re not mind readers.
We’ve got the music, the mic, and the hype—but we need a little help avoiding landmines like dropping the explicit version of “Yeah!” right as your sweet, small-town grandmother bows her head to pray.

So before we cue up the soundtrack to your love story, here are 6 things your DJ wished you told them before the wedding day.

1. “Can We Play Songs With Explicit Lyrics… Or Nah?”

Why it matters: One bride’s anthem is another grandma’s spiritual emergency.

Nothing gets a crowd fired up like a banger with a few f-bombs. But if the guest list includes pastors, pearl-clutchers, or small children with overprotective parents… we need to know.

Give your DJ a vibe check:

• 🔞 “Keep it squeaky clean—we’ve got church folks.”

• 🎉 “Play what gets the crowd going. Grandma’s cool, I swear.”

• 🤷‍♀️ “Clean during dinner, wild after 9 PM.”

Because nothing says ‘forever love’ like censoring the word booty during your first dance.

2. “We HATE This Song—Please Don’t Play It”

Why it matters: Without your input, we will play Mr. Brightside. It’s in our DNA.

Your DJ wants to make your night unforgettable—in a good way. But unless you tell us that you despise “I Gotta Feeling” or that “Happy” by Pharrell triggers a personal vendetta… we might accidentally drop it right in the middle of your cake cutting.

Avoid accidental trauma by sending a:

• “Do Not Play List” (even if it’s just one song)

• “Only if absolutely begged” list (looking at you, Macarena)

Because one wrong track can turn “dance floor magic” into “emotional damage.”

3. “Yes, You Can Take Requests—But Read the Room First”

Why it matters: Not every guest has good taste. Harsh truth, but we said it.

If your cousin Chad comes in hot demanding death metal mid-reception, your DJ needs to know if:

• They should entertain it

• Politely ignore it

• Or yeet him off the request list completely

Pro tip: Give your DJ request rules like:

• “Requests are cool, but check with us first.”

• “If the request sounds like it came from a frat party in 2008, veto it.”

• “If Grandma requests polka, say yes. It’s her day, too.”

4. “There’s a Surprise Moment—We Need You to Time the Music PERFECTLY”

Why it matters: Nothing kills a surprise like the wrong cue or awkward silence.

Whether it’s:

• A choreographed bridal party dance

• A flash mob

• Or the groom singing a rewritten version of “Let’s Get It On” (this happened, we’re still recovering)

Tell your DJ. In advance. With details.
Because if we don’t know it’s happening, we can’t time the beat drop, the fade-out, or the mic handoff.

And nothing says “failed surprise” like starting your big moment to the wrong Jonas Brother.

5. “Our Wedding Party Is Extra. Be Ready.”

Why it matters: We need to know who’s a liability with a microphone.

If your bridal party includes:

• A groomsman who thinks he’s a stand-up comedian

• A bridesmaid who might freestyle during toasts

• Or a Best Man named “Wildcard Kyle” with no filter…

Please warn us. We can adjust:

• Mic volume

• Speech order

• Emotional expectations

We’ve seen too many well-meaning toasts crash into flameouts of karaoke and oversharing. Help us help you.

6. “We Want Our Wedding to Be Classy… Until 10 PM. Then, Go Nuts.”

Why it matters: Timing is everything, and so is the vibe shift.

Are we going for:

• Romantic elegance all night?

• Gradual turn-up?

• “Keep it classy until Grandma leaves and then cue the Pitbull” vibes?

We need to know when the switch flips. Because dropping “Shots” by LMFAO during dessert is a bold move… unless it’s what you secretly wanted all along.

Your DJ is a vibe technician, but we need a manual. Even just a sticky note.

Final Thoughts:

Your DJ wants to deliver a flawless, unforgettable experience—but we’re not psychic (yet).
The more we know, the better the party.
And the less likely it is that we’ll traumatize your flower girl with Megan Thee Stallion during salad.

So spill the tea. Set the tone. And let us turn your “I Do” into “Best. Night. Ever.”

And remember: if you don’t tell us Grandma’s a pastor… we might play “WAP.” Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
