My answer is less than you think. Some DJs brag about how large his/her catalog of songs is. Heck, I used to as well. That was until I went through and weeded out the duplicates. I had six copies each of "Walk Like An Egyptian" and "Rock Around The Clock"! Also, I deleted out songs that I would/have never play/ed.
Voila. I went from over 10,000 songs down to about 6,000 songs. So, a DJ might say they have 20,000 songs. Keep in mind that includes a lot of extraneous and duplicates (or more) songs.
If you really want to catch a DJ off guard when finding out about his or her service, ask him or her, "How many songs are you going to play at my wedding?" The answer should be roughly 60 to 70 songs based on a typical four hour dance.
How do I know this? Experience. Usually, there are about 15 songs played per hour, but sometimes a little more. Multiply that by four and you have at least 60 songs.
To further illustrate this, I've DJed for 12 hours at the Relay for Life and never had an issue of running out of upbeat and fun songs to play. Your guests will have fun even with my "small" database of music.
As a DJ I am concerned about having the right songs to play for your wedding, so I am not shortchanging you or your guests. I still have my Money Back Guarantee to back up my word. If you request a song with a minimum of two weeks before your special day, I will have it. That's part of the Guarantee.
You should have peace of mind when hiring a DJ and your songs will be there ready to play. So, let's have some fun!
