DopaBeat Guide
Let Your New York Wedding Guests Request the Soundtrack
Quick answer
For weddings in New York, DopaBeat lets guests request and vote on reception songs by scanning a QR at their table — no download needed — while the couple or DJ approves every track before it plays. Free on iOS and Android.
Known for a five-borough nightlife that never actually sleeps, New York 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 New York wedding
At a New York reception running DopaBeat, each table gets a QR card. Guests scan it with their camera, open the live queue in a browser — no app, no account — and request the songs they're dying to dance to. Votes rank the requests, and the DJ approves what fits the moment.
Your first dance stays untouchable
Hired DJs at New York weddings often like DopaBeat most of all — it replaces the interruption of walk-up requests with a ranked, votable list they can read at a glance. They keep every professional control (reorder, skip, decline) while gaining a live readout of what the floor wants next.
No hired DJ? Your New York reception still swings
A DIY New York reception with DopaBeat also survives the unexpected: if the vibe shifts, the queue shifts with it, because guests are requesting in real time. No pre-built playlist has to predict at 6 p.m. what the dance floor will crave at 11.
Setting up before your New York wedding day
Have the queue open during dinner service at your New York venue and the dance floor opens pre-loaded: requests stacked through the appetizers, votes settled over dessert, and the first open-floor song already chosen by the room. Playback syncs on the web listen page for guests wandering the grounds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can we self-DJ a small New York 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 New York?
No. The DJ holds requests during formal moments — first dance, entrances, toasts — and opens the queue only for open dancing.
What do New York 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 New York wedding?
No — free on both app stores, free for guests via the web. No licenses, no equipment rental.
Can guests at our New York 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.
