Tips that are so easy but will make a huge difference with just a touch of attention to the details.

Because someone always lingers longer than expected—and awkward silence is not a vibe.

🎶 Make your playlist at least an hour longer than your event.

If guests are shouting over Sinatra, it’s time to dial it down. Let the music set the tone, not steal the spotlight.

🔉 Keep the volume background-level—music should complement the conversation, not compete with it.

Because the only buzzkill worse than bad wine is the music cutting out halfway through your charcuterie moment.

🔋 Have a backup speaker or battery just in case—especially if you’re outside or off-grid.

It’s modern, memorable, and totally Insta-worthy. Bonus points if you give your playlist a fun name! They'll be talking about your event long after it ends!

📱 Consider a QR code printed on your board or napkins that links to your playlist.
