It is a universally agreed upon fact that having a good playlist is of the utmost importance to any event.
Bad music can ruin any mood pretty quickly. To keep that from happening, first consider a few things.
- Who is your audience?
- What type of event are you having? (Kids birthday party? BBQ? Road trip? Etc.)
- Is the music a main focus or more of a background feature?
- What kind of atmosphere or mood do you want to create?
- Is it easy to use?
Based on the answers to these questions, check out some of the awesome playlist options offered by a variety of streaming services, including Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple Music, and Pandora.
