How Event Venues manage Song Requests
Event venues aim to create memorable experiences that keep guests coming back. Rekwest provides an easy and interactive way for venues to engage visitors with music they love, while giving staff simple tools to manage requests and analyze event success.
The Basics
Setup
Prior to an event, venue staff create an event with key details such as name, start time, and duration. Rekwest then generates a unique QR code or link that guests can access to request songs through their browser. No app installation or account creation is required for guests. Venues can customize QR code posters to fit their branding or event aesthetics.
Venues can set rules to restrict song requests to specific playlists, ensuring the music fits the atmosphere and style of the venue. Auto accept or auto decline settings help staff automate request management during busy events.
During the Event
As guests submit and vote on song requests, venue staff view live updates and choose which songs to accept or decline to maintain the event’s vibe. Accepted songs can be automatically added to Spotify, Apple Music, or SoundCloud playlists, or queued into popular DJ software like Serato, Rekordbox, or VirtualDJ.
Rekwest also allows venues to enable tipping on requests, creating an opportunity for extra revenue.
Post-Event
After the event, venues can send automated follow-up emails to attendees to thank them and promote upcoming events. Detailed analytics provided by Rekwest reveal popular songs and guest engagement metrics, helping venues tailor future playlists and events to maximize guest satisfaction.
Endless Possibilities
Rekwest offers many other features to elevate venue events, such as:
- Restricting requests to curated playlists aligned with venue branding.
- Collecting song requests before events to shape the music program in advance.
