Wedding jukebox with guest voting.
A wedding playlist that involves everyone — without DJ dictatorship and without stress for the couple. With Juqed, guests suggest songs by QR code in the browser and vote together. Whatever the majority wants plays next.
A wedding without song-request debates.
You're getting married — or organizing a wedding. Instead of a paid DJ with a fixed setlist, you want the night to come together. Grandparents want classic ballads, cousins want 90s hits, friends want indie. No one should hijack the aux cable, no one should feel left out.
The ceremony is in the garden, the bar is outside, the reception is in the hall. Stable Wi-Fi isn't guaranteed everywhere. A DJ is expensive, a Bluetooth speaker with a Spotify playlist too one-sided. What's left: an app where everyone shapes the music.
Which Juqed app for your wedding?
Both apps fit — but depending on the venue, one usually works better.
The mobile sister is usually the right pick for weddings: outdoor ceremony, garden bar, multiple rooms — Juqed Go needs no shared Wi-Fi. The host can be on mobile data, guests on Wi-Fi or mobile, mixed networks work. Apple Music delivers the full catalog.
- Works without stable Wi-Fi at the venue
- iPad at the bar as a central QR-code display
- Full Apple Music catalog — from classics to indie hits
- One-tap start on the day — no setup marathon
The Mac app is the right pick if you have a DJ setup in the venue, want to bring your own curated library (e.g. a custom first-dance track), or would set up a Mac anyway.
- Local library combined with Apple Music
- Crossfade for seamless DJ-style transitions
- Auto-DJ with BPM matching for longer dance sets
- Requirement: all guests on the same Wi-Fi
How to set it up.
Three steps in the morning — by evening, the music runs itself.
Set up the host device
Place the iPhone or iPad at the bar or DJ booth, connect via AirPlay or AUX to the speakers, open Juqed Go. Apple Music is connected, you're ready.
Display the QR code
One tap on "Print QR code" and Juqed Go generates a ready-made A4 PDF with a large QR code, event URL, and a three-step guide. Print it straight from the iOS share sheet or send it ahead to the venue. Place the posters on cocktail tables, the bar, and at the entrance.
Configure fair-use
Set a 5-minute cooldown and a 2-songs-at-once limit per guest. That stops anyone from dominating the playlist or spamming "Wonderwall" five times.
What to watch out for.
- Test the sound systemAirPlay, Bluetooth, or AUX speakers all work — try the connection the day before.
- Powerbank for the iPhoneEight hours of streaming drains the battery — plan for charging.
- Check Wi-Fi strengthIf the venue has stable Wi-Fi: great. If not: mobile data is enough for Juqed Go.
- Agree on volume limitsClarify with the venue from when the volume needs to drop — happens at every wedding eventually.
- Queue the first dance manuallyPick the first dance song deliberately — the app lets you "Play now" any time.
- Use the blacklistAn ex's favorite shouldn't play? Add it to the blacklist — guests won't even see it in search.
- Brief your best peopleOne or two friends should know where the host device is — in case anyone needs help.
- Auto-DJ as safety netIf the dance floor empties briefly, Auto-DJ steps in — the music never breaks.
Common questions about weddings.
Does Juqed work at a wedding without stable Wi-Fi?
Yes — with Juqed Go. The mobile variant needs no shared Wi-Fi. Host and guests can also join via mobile data, mixed networks work too. For outdoor ceremonies, garden receptions, and venues with unreliable Wi-Fi, that's the decisive advantage.
Who stays in control of the music?
You — as the couple or best person — stay the host. You can move songs forward ("Play now") any time, toggle Auto-DJ, blacklist terms, and adjust guest limits. Guests suggest and vote — you have the final word.
Can we lock in the first dance?
Yes. As host, add the first-dance song and use "Play now" at the right moment to push it forward. The current track gets replaced, the first dance starts. Guest suggestions resume automatically afterwards.
What happens when nobody suggests songs?
Auto-DJ steps in and adds tracks matching the night's taste. It analyzes the genres already played and picks thematically fitting songs from the Apple Music catalog. The music never breaks — even if everyone is dancing instead of searching.
Can I exclude certain songs upfront?
Yes. The blacklist lets you block artists, songs, or terms entirely — they don't even appear in the search. Practical when an ex's favorite shouldn't play or a particular schlager hit just doesn't fit your wedding.
Do our guests need an Apple Music subscription?
No. Only you as host need an Apple Music subscription (for Juqed Go). Your guests just suggest and vote — that's enough. They don't have to install an app either: a QR code in the browser is all they need.
