Yeah we're making our own playlist, the plan is to get all the bridesmaids and groomsmen together and do it over an evening. The venue has a sound system that we can plug into so that's not a problem, just getting a bit anxious about the amount of work involved, like you said!

As an idea, maybe do what my sister did and put a little note in with the invites for guests to request a song they want, and to return with their reply? That way it's likely that people will get a song they want played and it saves you having to think of too many songs.

Thanks for all the helpful replies, feel less nervous about it now! Minerva_windsong, that's a great idea, might ask the guests to suggest 2 songs each and pick the best ones. We haven't got a lot of guests coming, 60 in total for the evening at last count so I think it could work out well.

I like the suggestion about guests choosing their 2 favourite songs, at least they feel involved.

With regards to using Spotify and Last.fm. You have to watch these as sometimes the tracks are different versions ie:- re-recordings/remixes or live versions. You will not find any Beatles tracks on Spotify and lot of other famous artists/groups too.

In terms of quality though. Spotify is better, as Last.fm quality is a bit ropey and also on my laptop it skips and jumps sometimes. Although the Iphone/Ipod touch app doesn't seem to have this problem.

we are doing exactly that , we are requesting 3 songs from each invite so we can select one and hope that we like 1 of the 3 choices lol

Hi I had an Ipod set up for my wedding the hotel provided a sound system I set up the playlist and it ran perfectly and saved a lot of money

Really in need of some advice on this one. Hotel DJ was rubbish, however we were tied into it as part of a package. He really was dreadful with complaints being made by our guests.

The Hotel are not prepared to give an inch, if it was a meal we would have sent it back and received a refund. All they will say is, "they are dealing with it internally".

Anybody have a solution to this?

Ive heard about one of these someone at work went to but said there was awkward silences between songs as one finished and the other started
