Is it a good idea for the client to try and script the music for the event, song by song?
A. Absolutely not. In planning your event, you are certainly faced with many other details that you must deal with. While I want you to make some suggestions (songs you know you want, artists and preferred styles) my ability to read and react to the crowd is my greatest strength. I cannot embarrass myself by playing music that does not fit the situation just because it is on “the list”. I am happy to take your list of “songs we love” and work them in when appropriate, but if you want someone to play strictly from a list, I wouldn’t be the right DJ for you.
