Even during the most casual wedding reception, the bride & groom dance to their "First Song." It is a perfect way to get the party (and the cameras) rolling. Be sure to let us know if you intend to have a "First Song" and the order in which your guests should be invited to join in. The following is a typical scenario: Approximately 15 minutes after the cocktail hour the band leader or DJ invites the bride and groom to the dance floor for their "first dance". The announcement can be subtle or with great fanfare. He then invites others, usually the parents and/or the bridal party, to join in about thirty seconds later. After another thirty seconds, everyone is invited to join in the dancing. The Maitre D' usually determines when to interrupt the dancing for the toast or the first course.

The following list is a sampling of first songs chosen by brides and grooms. They are only suggestions, so feel free to ask us for any songs not included.

Please Indicate:
STYLE (Ballad, Fox Trot, Swing, Waltz...) We can arrange any song to fit any dance step.
TEMPO (Slow, Medium or Fast). WHO to invite to join the bride and groom on the dance floor.
