Should guests be able to request songs?

Yes, but you may want to put some peramiters on what you want Played.

well, it depends! Because sometimes we attend to requests that are on our vibe. We normally read the room and try to create the best ambience for your wedding. So depending on the request, of course we are more than happy to sing. Otherwise, if we feel the song requested by your guest it is not on the same page as the moment we are singing, we would not sing.

Allowing guest song requests can be a fun way to get everyone involved, but it’s best to set expectations with your DJ.

At Melbourne Entertainment Company, we can handle requests smoothly without disrupting the flow of your night. You can either limit requests to certain times or let your DJ curate the setlist, balancing your vision with guest input. Just communicate what works for you, and your DJ will ensure it all comes together seamlessly!

I’m happy to take song requests from guests, but I always like to make sure we keep the vibe flowing smoothly. Sometimes, guest requests can be hit or miss in terms of matching the energy of the night. I can definitely take them into account and find a balance between what the guests want and what works with the overall flow.

As a band, we obviously cannot learn every song ever written; we do try to oblige where we can - but we do also provide a songlist for the Bride & Groom when we first meet, and they are welcome to request any song from that list. If asked prior to the date, we would also learn a specific song, if it fits within our genre of songs.

Yes - absolutely! We have an extensive Music Menu that we provide to our client enabling them to choose the 'must have's' and the 'no way's' . They can create the whole experience set lists if they like but giving them the opportunity to have input for their special day and celebration music is extremely important ?

This is such a great question. Music choice is such a key part of creating the perfect vibe for an unforgettable night. I love it when couples request songs, it makes the day even more personal and special.

My packages include learning up to three special songs for the wedding so you can have those meaningful moments just the way you envisioned. We'll need to get the special song requests at least two weeks in advance. When it comes to the dance floor, I absolutely love taking requests throughout the night and keeping the party going.

I hope you have incredible day.

Absolutely, yes! I love when guests request songs — it helps create a fun, interactive vibe and makes the night even more memorable. It’s your celebration, and I want everyone to feel part of it. Whether it’s a nostalgic throwback, a dance floor classic, or a guilty pleasure anthem, requests often bring great energy and unexpected moments that make the night uniquely yours.

Ideally, we wouldn't allow song requests the night of. An idea would be having your guests submit a song choice with their RSVP card :)
