Spotify prompt playbook

The Spotify Cheat Code

Build your whole wedding playlist with Spotify's AI, using the same prompts I use to read a room. 2,500+ weddings behind me, including weddings I've performed at Walt Disney World Fairytale Weddings.

Spotify can now build a playlist from a sentence you type. The trick is knowing what to type. Fill in your profile once below, and every prompt on this page fills itself in for you. Copy each one into Spotify and you'll have a wedding that sounds like you hired a pro.

This works whether you hired a DJ or not. Have a DJ? Hand them these playlists and you'll be the most prepared couple they've ever met. Running the music yourselves? This is your whole day, done.

Before you start: You need Spotify Premium, the feature is in English, and it's new, so Spotify limits how many prompts you can run in a stretch. Fill in your profile first. Spotify also leans on the listening history of whatever account you use, so use the one closest to your wedding vibe. And always give each finished playlist a quick listen before the big day. The AI is good, not perfect. You're the final say.

Step one: your music profile

Fill this in once. Every prompt below updates as you type, and it all saves automatically.

Genres you love (e.g. 90s country, 2000s pop)

Must-have artists

Favorite eras (decades)

Movie / show soundtracks you love

Your vibe (3-5 words)

Your ages

Guest age range

Anything to avoid

Dance floor length (hours)

Step two: your prompts, moment by moment

Step three: the fix-it prompts

The first playlist is rarely the final one. Run any of these right after to steer it. This is exactly what I do in my head all night long. Click to copy.

A few pro tips before the day

Save and rename each playlist the second you make it, by moment, so nothing gets lost.
Fill your profile in before you start prompting, so you're not burning your prompt limit guessing.
Give every finished list one real listen, start to finish, and pull anything that feels off.
For the dance floor, when in doubt, pick the song more people know. A packed floor beats a perfect playlist every time. That's the whole secret.
