There are a few important songs you need to consider when planning your wedding reception.
Whether or not
you are having a band or a DJ, these songs mark important stages of your night.
The first song of the night is an exciting time as it is the
first time you and your partner will be presented as the married couple at your
reception. It is also a time to recognise the important members of your bridal party. You can choose a song that is fun and upbeat for the bridal party entrance or a love song that
is special to you and your partner - the choice is yours!
Bridal Waltz
The Bridal Waltz is individual to every couple! It may be a popular song or a song that
no one has heard of before! Whatever you
choose, it should be a song that is important to you and your partner. It may be a song that reminds you of when you
met, or when you got engaged or a song that describes your relationship. In
most cases, your band will be happy to try and learn this song for you to make
it extra special. If you have a DJ or
you are performing a choreographed dance you can also provide the original song
to the band or DJ to play.
The completion of the Bridal Waltz often signifies the start
of the party at the reception. It is
common for the bridal party and parents of the bride and groom to join the
couple in a dance at the completion of the Bridal Waltz and for the dance floor
to then be 'open' for the rest of the wedding guests.
Father-Daughter Dance
Having a Father-Daughter dance is a touching way to honour
your Dad, it is a tribute to the bond shared between the bride and her Father. There
are many popular songs for the Father-Daughter dance and it is often a slow
song that is fairly easy to move to. It is important to chat with your Dad when
making a decision as he may have something special in mind too.
Last Song
The last song of the night is usually an upbeat goodbye
song. This song can be used during the
contemporary circle or for the couple to do one last dance before they wave and
run off into the sunset.
