If we hire a Wedding DJ in Washington DC can we still pick our own music?

When planning their Washington DC wedding, choosing a DC Wedding DJ is one of the most important decisions you will make. While your photographer will be the only wedding vendor who will spend more hours at your wedding than the DJ, the DC Wedding DJ will be the vendor that has the largest impact on the mood and vibe of your celebration.

As an award-winning Wedding DJ Washington DC, our passion is helping couples create the DC Wedding they have been dreaming about! Our DC Wedding Blog provides an assortment of tips and suggestions that extend far beyond our music specialty.

This article is one of a series of articles providing answers to the Top 50 Wedding Planning Questions. If you’ve been following along with this series, you know that very few of those questions are DJ related. That said, as a DC Wedding DJ, this question is in my area of expertise.

The short quick answer is if you choose Perfect Harmony Entertainment as your DC Wedding DJ, not only can you choose your own music, we want you involved in selecting the music!

For us and the many couples, we celebrate with each year, music is a very personal thing. We not only have our favorite songs and artists but our favorite genres and eras as well. Music can transport you back to another place in time and the memories are as vivid as they were the day the moment happened.

There are few things in life that have that effect on us.

There are dates and events that have that type of impact such as 9/11, but music has a way of cementing those everyday moments in our minds as nothing else can.

Wedding reception music Is the icing on the cake

A wedding is made up of a bunch of special moments all of them with a soundtrack that is unlike the moments that follow. I often refer to it as being very similar to the musical score of a great movie.

There are romantic moments during the ceremony, lighthearted moments during cocktail hour, and then there is of course the raging party that is the reception.

These moments in time are what I find to be most enjoyable about the wedding experience. It gives you great freedom to share a wide variety of music with your guests and to make your wedding truly unique.

How can you be sure to get the music you like at your DC Wedding?

If you work with us or a DC Wedding DJ Service like ours, we make it easy to get the style, vibe, and songs that are special to you!

We have evolved our planning process to include an easy to use app that is compatible with any phone. This app allows couples the freedom of complete customization of their wedding soundtrack. Adding a specific song to a specific part of the wedding such as the First Dance is as simple as selecting the song and then dragging and dropping it into place.

Do you have a bunch of songs that you would like to include?

You can add your favorite dance tunes one at a time to the reception sections or, if you use a service like Spotify, you can import the entire playlist. Songs can be marked as either must play or do not play within the app.

This is your day and you should absolutely get your music!

If you’ve hired a professional Washington DC DJ they should recommend that you give them some freedom to work in songs that they know will pack the dance floor based upon your guest’s demographic. Keep in mind that professional DC DJs create great parties every weekend!

For a DC Wedding DJ songs are the equivalent of mechanics tools or a chef’s ingredients. You want to get your vibe and jams but you wouldn’t remove the spices from your chef’s pantry. Don’t be so strict that your DC Wedding DJs’ hands are tied if they need to make a pivot.

In the end, your goal is our goal.

We want to create a legendary party that your guests will talk about for years to come. We also want them to tell everyone that the wedding was totally you!
