Music plays a huge role in all aspects of a wedding day. There’s music for walking down the aisle, for signing your marriage documents, for whilst the guests wait for your arrival at the reception, for pre-dinner ambience, for dinner ambience, for carving up the dance floor and celebrating with friends and family, for waving goodbye as you leave the reception in your first moments together as a married couple… And then there’s the first dance!

Your wedding dance is one of the few moments you are truly together on your first day as a married couple. It is a moment solely for you, and the music you choose should be just that. Each couple is different and will choose a different song to enjoy that beautiful moment together that suits their joint personality.

Dancing to music can be one of two things for many people – easy to hear the beat in the song and move along with it, or confusing and difficult to hear the beat and keep in time.
With all of our experience with Wedding Dances, one of the most important things we can teach you is the necessity to compromise. We have seen many couples struggle with this and it can be the thing that spoils this experience and moment. If you can both hear the beat and move together with it – wonderful, keep doing that. If only one of you can hear the beat in the music or neither of you can – don’t worry about it, it does not matter at all! The most important thing to do is to stay in time with each other and move together. If this is the case it is important to choose a speed that feels comfortable and try to remain consistent to that speed. The music will be best used as a backdrop for your dance. It is there to create a mood and ambience for that moment and it does not matter whether or not you are in time with your music. Be in time with each other and savour this oh so romantic moment!
