DJ Event Planner Runs Your Business. WeddingPlan Runs the Wedding.
DJ Event Planner (DJEP) is a back-office admin suite: contracts, e-signatures, lead tracking, invoicing, staff scheduling. It runs $20 to $50 a month depending on how many staff you manage. WeddingPlan Founder Access starts at $49 a month and does something DJEP was never built to do: collect the actual wedding from the couple.
Many multi-DJ companies could reasonably run both. They are not solving the same problem.
What DJ Event Planner Actually Does
DJEP centralizes the business side of running a DJ company: event and contract management, lead tracking with automated follow-up emails, a branded client portal, and reporting across a staff of DJs. It does have a song-request feature inside that client portal, couples can submit requests against DJEP's music database or upload their own list.
That is where its wedding-planning depth stops. It has no ceremony timeline builder, no automatic conflict detection, no vendor contact collection, no seating chart, no budget tracker, no role-specific PDF exports for a coordinator or timeline. It is built to run a DJ business across many events and many staff, not to collect one wedding's full planning detail from one couple.
What TRUE Wedding Planning Requires
WeddingPlan is a full planning portal, built around one wedding and the couple who owns it. Couples get a private link, no login, no app download, and fill in:
- Songs: live Spotify and Apple Music search, link auto-import, Smart Paste bulk import, Must-Play and Do-Not-Play and DJ's Choice tags, per-song notes, drag-and-drop reorder
- Ceremony and reception timeline: couples enter their own timing, the portal flags conflicts automatically before you even see it
- Vendor contacts: structured fields for florist, caterer, officiant, venue, photographer, and every other vendor on the event
- Ceremony and reception details: 15 answer types, free text, single and multiple choice, dropdown, date, time, phone, contact info, location, link, key-value pairs, image and PDF upload, number
- Guest list: manual entry or CSV import from The Knot, Zola, and Joy
- Seating chart, budget tracker, planning checklist (13 months out through the wedding day)
- Recommendation crate: your curated song suggestions with Apple Music previews, visible to couples while they plan
- Role PDF exports: DJ sheet, coordinator timeline, vendor contact list, full event timeline
DJEP's song requests tell you what a couple wants to hear. WeddingPlan tells you what they want to hear, what time the ceremony starts, who the florist is, where the head table sits, and hands you a coordinator PDF that says so.
What TRUE DJ Library Management Requires
DJEP has no connection to your actual music library. It stores what a couple requested; it does not touch the files on your drive.
WeddingPlan Sync closes that gap as a desktop agent that runs in the background:
- Scans your entire library and identifies tracks by content, not file path
- Watches your music folder and re-scans automatically when files arrive
- Auto-organizes new music on arrival: "Title - Artist - Version" naming, per-artist folder, version detected from actual tags
- Matches every couple pick to a real track in your library, refreshing every 30 seconds, with a "Check for new songs" button for late requests
- Exports the matched playlist as a standard M3U file and a full songs CSV, any DJ software can load it directly
Who Should Actually Pick Which
If your real problem is running a multi-DJ company, contracts, staff scheduling, lead follow-up, invoicing, DJEP is built for exactly that and does it well. WeddingPlan does not touch any of it.
If your real problem is collecting the full wedding, songs, timeline, vendors, seating, budget, from each couple before the big day, and matching that to your actual library, WeddingPlan is built for that specific chain.
A multi-DJ company running weddings could run DJEP for the business and WeddingPlan for the wedding-day planning depth per couple. They are not competing for the same job.
The Couple Experience
Couples who plan through WeddingPlan come to the final meeting with their songs selected, their timeline built, and their vendor contacts filled in. Here is what couples say about planning through Womack Services, the wedding company that built WeddingPlan:
"They have an app that we use to give our ideas."Kerissa L., Zola review, June 2025
"Having everything run through one team made the entire day feel smooth and easy."Kristiane, Zola review, April 2026
The Price
| WeddingPlan | DJ Event Planner | |
|---|---|---|
| Founder lock (first 25, for life) | $49/month | -- |
| Monthly | $79/month | $20 to $50/month (by staff size, no annual published) |
| Annual | $797/year | Not published |
DJEP's entry tier undercuts WeddingPlan on price, because it is solving a smaller, different problem, admin and staff management, not wedding-day planning depth. The comparison that matters is scope, not the sticker price.
Founder Access
WeddingPlan is in early founder access. Accounts are hand-onboarded. You book a 20-minute call, see the product on a live demo wedding, and decide. No self-serve signup, no in-app billing yet.
First 25 founding DJs lock in at $49/month for life.
