This is something that we discuss with every bride and groom. I personally believe that your guests should be allowed to make requests, but this is your event and we will always respect your decision. I think when your guests are able to make requests it does set a level of interaction between your guests and your DJ.You want your guests to feel that they can approach your DJ, and that he/she is just not a fixture in the corner.
Hiring a professional DJ he/she will know what is appropriate to play and when. The professional DJ will also be considerate of what you have asked them to play and not play. We hear many times where someone will come and say "oh please play insert cheesy song title here, it's Jenn's favorite song". My response is really? That's when we'll approach you and ask. We are never going to take the word of a guest that has had one too many cocktails lol.
A great way to also have your guests interact with us is to provide them with "guest access" this is an area of our online wedding planning tool that you are given when you book with Locomotion DJ Productions. The guest area will allow whoever you give access to the freedom to request music prior to your wedding. The great thing about this is you have veto power over the list! This list is due 30 days before your wedding where you can review it with your DJ.
We are finding some brides and grooms who have wedding websites where they'll share guest access, or maybe within your wedding invitations.
We hope that this has given you a little insight on guests requests. We are always happy to discuss this with you at any time!
Happy Planning and have a great wedding!
