Top Tips to Assist you in Planning your Wedding Music

You and your partner may go well together, but you still have differing personalities, as do your friends and family.

When it comes to choosing the music for your big day, all the different opinions can seem overwhelming. After all, you want everyone to enjoy the music.

• Take a poll. Sorting through potential songs, you can guess what will and won’t be crowd pleasers all day long, but if you want legitimate answers, you can take a poll. Don’t be afraid to ask your guests what they are interested in hearing on your big day and what is most likely to get them on the dance floor.
• Hear your band before you book. Even if you are one of those couples that enjoy living on the edge, your wedding entertainment is not the best time to practice that enjoyment.

Create a Special First Dance for your Big Day

Your wedding is a day to celebrate the passion and love that you and your partner share. You will ensure that you look your absolute best, make your way down the aisle, and vow to love your partner in sickness and in health. After you share your first kiss as a married couple, it is time to make your way to the reception where you will celebrate with your first dance together.

As you look for inspiration for your first dance, surely you will see many couples following the trend of making a show of it. With more and more examples pointing in that direction, it starts to seem more likely that your guests will be expecting a big dance display as well. Whether this is true or not, this is still your opportunity to make your first dance unique to you and your partner.

Here at DJ Brock Weddings, we want you to have the absolute best first dance possible with your new spouse. That is why we have gathered a few ways for you both to create a special first dance for your big day, so if you are curious to learn how, be sure to continue reading:

• Your moves. Whether you are the type of person to own the dance floor, or the wall flower who has never really been the best at dancing, this is still your time to shine. As a natural dancer, you can show off your moves on the dance floor, and maybe even surprise your partner as you start practicing for your shining moment. If you are not as good as you would like to be, there is a reason you have time to practice your moves. Practice is strongly encouraged, no matter your dancing skill. You would not want to make your way to the dance floor and then not be prepared, in front of all your guests.
• Rhythm. As you start planning your first dance, you may have a few song ideas in mind. Your chosen song will determine a lot about your first dance. If you do not have specific song in mind, it is time to start thinking about your absolute favorite love songs. Not every love song is perfect for a first dance, as it truly comes down to the lyrics and the rhythm. Would you rather a slower flowing song, where you and your partner can embrace each other as your feet sweep across the floor. Or, would a faster tempo better suit your style? Just be sure to choose whatever is most comfortable for you.
• Set the mood. When you start sorting out the specifics of your first dance, it is important to consider what mood you would like to set. What do you want your guests to feel as they watch you and your new spouse dance together as a newlywed couple? You can use special effects, such as uplighting, to create the perfect mood for your dance. You can evoke feelings of passion and true love from your guests, just with these effects. This will allow your guests to feel powerful emotions, rather than just enjoy watching you and your new spouse dance.

From fairytales to romantic novels, each dreamy waltz is special to those dancing. Creating your first dance together, to be exclusive to just you, allows that moment to be special. Here at DJ Brock Weddings, we offer quality DJ services, perfect for your first dance. If you are ready to start planning your Lake Tahoe wedding entertainment, be sure to contact us today.
