First Dance Song

The first dance at a wedding reception is a special moment. A public declaration of togetherness and an important part of your big day. The first dance is as symbolic and traditional as the cutting of the cake, signing of the register and the best man's speech. The choice of music offers an opportunity for the happy couple to share a special intimate moment in front of friends and family or to entertain and surprise their guests with a carefully rehearsed routine. It is a highly personal part of the wedding day with meaningful songs carefully chosen to evoke memories which guests will cherish forever. This part of the evening can be played by a live band or a DJ and this page is a helpful guide to deciding how best to present your first dance.

Your First Dance Played By A Live Band

Having a live band play your first dance song would make the event even more special. The professionalism of the Live Music Management bands mean they will be happy to learn first dance songs if the song chosen is one which will suit the bands style. Many couples booking a band from Live Music Management will suggest the song they wish to dance to upon initial enquiry. Others chose a song from the bands set list after careful consideration. Most bands will learn a first dance song at no extra fee and many couples choose the live route for their special song. However if a complicated dance routine is to be performed or if a particular recorded version of a song is required then the band will always be happy to play the recorded version maybe even making an announcement to ensure everyone knows that this is your song.

Your First Dance Played By DJs

All mobile wedding DJs booked through Live Music Management will have a telephone consultation with the bride and groom prior to the big day. They will discuss the music required over the course of the evening but also, specifically, the first dance and any special requests. There is now a rich tradition of elaborate first dances sometimes involving more than one song and our DJs are happy to help you achieve the desired effect with your first dance. Recently one of our wedding DJs was able to help a couple realise their dream by editing a medley of almost twenty songs together for the first dance. Each song was a signal for another section of the wedding party to join in with the Bridesmaids having their part to play followed by the Groomsmen, the Brides mother and father and so forth. Whether your dance is an elaborate affair or just a special record you can be assured that a Live Music Music Management DJ will make sure it all runs smoothly.
