Planning guides
Advice from behind the decks
Short, practical guides on planning the music for a Scottish wedding or party — written from what actually happens in the room, not from a template.
Where to start
Music is usually the last thing booked and the first thing remembered
These guides exist because the same questions come up every year. Nothing here is filler — each one is written from what actually happens in Scottish function rooms.
Planning a wedding? Start with the Scottish wedding music guide, then the running order. Planning a party? The party planning guides cover timings and room size. If you are booking in the city, the Glasgow wedding DJ service page covers packages, venues and how planning works.
