  • Yes — we can play specific songs and avoid tracks you don’t want. When you book a DJ with Total Vibe, tell us the must-play anthems, special first-dance tracks, or songs tied to key moments. Equally important, give us a do-not-play list (for example, ex-partner songs, overplayed hits, or genres you dislike) and we’ll respect it.

    How it works

    • Before the event we’ll send a quick music-planning form or discuss choices during your run‑through.

    • We’ll confirm your must-play list and do-not-play list, and integrate them into the set plan.

    • On the night, the DJ follows your requests while reading the room to keep energy high. If you want strict adherence, let us know and we’ll prioritise your list over on-the-fly requests.

    Tips

    • Prioritise 10–20 must-play songs for key moments (walk-ins, first dance, cake cutting).

    • Keep do-not-play lists concise and clear — artists, song titles or genres help.

    • If you have special versions or explicit/clean preferences, tell us in advance.

    We tailor the music to your vibe while ensuring your event runs smoothly and respectfully to your music choices.

  • We are more than happy to take song requests from you and your guests during the event. We ensure these requests fit within the overall vibe and flow of the event.

This helps ensure that everything runs smoothly and that your vision for the event is realised. We offer consultations either in person or virtually, depending on your preference.

  • No deposit is needed. The remaining balance is due seven days before the event. Your booking is confirmed with a simple contract that clearly outlines all the event details. You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before the event; cancellations made within 24 hours of the event will incur the full fee.
