DopaBeat Guide
Let Your Austin Wedding Guests Request the Soundtrack
Quick answer
DopaBeat brings guest song requests to Austin receptions the safe way: requests flow into one queue, votes rank them, and nothing plays without the DJ's approval. First dances and do-not-play lists stay protected.
Known for the self-declared live music capital of the world, Austin hosts weddings where the guest list spans continents and decades of music taste. DopaBeat gives every one of those guests a voice in the reception queue — with the couple holding the veto, the schedule, and the do-not-play list.
How song requests work at a Austin wedding
The request line at Austin weddings disappears when the requests go digital: guests submit from their seats during dinner, the queue quietly stacks up, and by the time the floor opens the DJ is working from a crowd-ranked list instead of shouted fragments over the monitors.
Your first dance stays untouchable
Nothing plays at your Austin reception without a yes. Every request lands in front of the DJ for approval, the do-not-play list is enforced with a silent decline, and awkward picks vanish without embarrassing the guest who sent them. Influence for the room, veto for the couple.
No hired DJ? Your Austin reception still swings
For an intimate Austin venue or a backyard ceremony, the whole music setup is a phone connected to a speaker. Guests scan the table QR, requests flow, and the reception soundtrack builds itself from the people in the room — free on both app stores, nothing to rent.
Setting up before your Austin wedding day
The prep for a Austin wedding takes an evening: download DopaBeat free, create the party, test the QR with your own phone, and brief your DJ on the do-not-play list. Guests need zero preparation — a camera scan puts them in the queue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we self-DJ a small Austin wedding with DopaBeat?
Yes. A phone connected to the venue speakers plus a friend holding the DJ role covers it — guests keep the queue full and votes read the room.
Will guest requests disrupt our first dance in Austin?
No. The DJ holds requests during formal moments — first dance, entrances, toasts — and opens the queue only for open dancing.
What do Austin guests need to participate?
Just a phone camera. The QR opens the queue in a browser; guests who want voting in-app can download DopaBeat free on iOS or Android.
Does DopaBeat cost anything for a Austin wedding?
No — free on both app stores, free for guests via the web. No licenses, no equipment rental.
Can guests at our Austin venue's terrace hear the dance floor music?
Yes. Playback syncs across joined phones and the web listen page, so guests away from the floor hear the same moment.
