Wedding music requests

[Shaun]

Do you really think people would be that bothered?

Some people don't even want to be at the wedding, let alone choose music to be played!

Maybe not specifically for requests, but I can think of some uses for his concept.

Edit: Oops, I thought that was directed to me.

Shaun, there's no room left in your navigation!

I know, but there's other options available.

p.s: You have mail..lol.

I like the concept, would you mind too much if I used the idea as inspiration?.

Take all the inspiration you like....as long as you share what your inspiration is! - I might get even more inspiration from that! It's not as if we're on each others "disco territory"

No. Although for someone who can knock it up in a matter of hours, it's worth a shot for the bigger functions, to at least try it. If you're going to pay through the teeth for it, I'd say it wasn't worth the risk.

My client area is pretty much 'Client only' at the moment. Guest access (post-event) to limited parts of the client area would be great for them viewing the online gallery of photos I take at the event...plus a few more ideas I have rolling around my head.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Consider it a deal *virtual handshake*

I can hear the thoughts in Marc's head now....

This year, I've had a couple of wedding clients who have asked their guests to send them requests for music before the big day so they can then pass these on to me. I had another booking today where the groom suggested the same thing.

Now I think this is a great idea, but it got me thinking.

What do you guys think about producing "guest request" forms to give to the couple to send out with there invites? Great chance to pop your own logo and contact details on so they all know who you are. Was thinking maybe the postcards from Vistaprint?

No what if I put my own address on the back with a space of a stamp so they can send them directly back to me?

We had that once with a customer and it worked a treat

I'm completely with Darren on this one.

When you ask wedding guests to request a song beforehand, they will usually come up with a song they LIKE.....rather than a song they like which is ALSO a party song that will get everyone dancing.

As already stated, you will end up with a big list of stuff, loads of which is unplayable. If you DO play it, you'll clear the dance floor & people will think you're toilet, and if you DON'T play it, you'll get people coming up & moaning that you haven't played their request...so it's a no win situation.

As for having to wait for each guest to log into your site & key in their request, I really don't think they can be bothered.

I'm not sure what's worse...waiting for 100 guests to log into your website & leave a request, or having to wait for 100 individual "request" postcards to arrive on your doormat!

What a nightmare...No thank you to both options!
