What is a Spotify music inspo playlist and how does it work?
A Spotify music inspo playlist is a fantastic reference for our musicians and DJs to use, so we highly recommend you create a playlist to share with us. Some people create one big playlist; others make a few separate playlists (e.g. for background music during canapés, dinner service, DJ bangers) – it’s up to you!
It’s a really good way for our clients to give us a feel for the style of music they want to hear on the night, but we don’t recommend it be used to curate an exact setlist; your artist/DJ needs to be able to tailor the sets based on the vibe of the night, while of course using your Spotify playlist as a guide.
We encourage all our artists to look at the playlist and stick as closely to that vibe as possible, however, we also encourage all artists to use their best judgement and ensure the dance floor is full of happy guests, rather than just strictly playing the songs the bride and groom have put on the Spotify guide.
With that said, it’s your day! If you are adamant that the DJ only play what is on your list, we can make that happen – but this just needs to be very clearly outlined in the artist brief.
What if I don’t have a Spotify account?
While a Spotify playlist is preferable, if you don’t have a Spotify account or you would prefer not to create a playlist, you can instead add some info about the kind of music you would like to hear on the night (favourite genres, artists, songs, etc.).
How can I share a Spotify playlist?
1. Open Spotify.
2. Click on the playlist you wish to share.
3. Click on the “…” icon (located near the play button).
4. From this menu, select "Share" to open a sub-menu.
4. Click "Copy link to playlist." This will copy a link which you can then paste.
You will also need to make sure the playlist is set to PUBLIC (not private).
