Your wedding, your choice...
Friday, 29 January 2010
I've just finished a project that proves that when it comes to your wedding, you can have anything you want. Don't be put off by a parents' disapproval if you want to eschew the traditional fruit cake. Ignore your chief bridesmaid's sneering views on the colour scheme. And don't let a hotel wedding planner persuade you to cut your guest list so you can fit into their venue. One guy tried this with us, needless to say we nodded politely and chose to celebrate elsewhere.
Finally, when it comes to your first dance, you should do exactly what you want. I've just finished editing a seven minute megamix for a couple featuring sixteen songs! They didn't choose an old smoochy number to please their gran or something 'cool' to impress their friends They plan to take their guests on an epic musical odyssey featuring Shania Twain, Elvis and The Birdie Song. The music they want to hear.
It might not be to your taste. You might shudder at the thought of The Macarena being played on your big day. But you know what? Who cares? This is not your big day, it's theirs. I can't mention the happy couple's names as the whole thing is top secret. This should make it all the more fun for the guests who are sure to be clapping and singing along.
The first dance is always a focal point at any wedding reception and ideally the time when the party can really begin. When we sing live, we usually fill the dancefloor by performing our party set straight after the first dance. This sets the evening in full swing as the guests party until the early hours.
We often perform the first dance live, a great way of making a special moment even more memorable. If that's what you fancy, then great - get in touch and we'll start learning the song you want to dance to. But if you have an idea, no matter how crazy, then let your entertainer know. I'm sure they'll be happy to help you create your perfect first dance whether it's through music choice, first dance choreography or even a few confetti cannons.
Whatever you choose, enjoy it. You only get one first dance.
