Your first dance is one of the most photographed moments of the day. Choosing the right song matters, but so does how it is played: the timing, the lighting, the length and the moment guests are invited to join you.
We can edit any first dance to a shorter length, add a surprise switch to an upbeat track, and make sure the lighting and announcement are just right.
Usually around 8pm to 9pm, once the evening guests have arrived. Later slow songs work well just before the final track.
Weddings, vow renewals and anniversaries.

FAQs
How long should a first dance be?
Two to three minutes feels comfortable for most couples. We can edit any song down so it ends at a natural moment.
Can we do a surprise mash-up first dance?
Yes. Send us your idea and we will prepare a seamless edit, or we can suggest one.
Should we have a dance lesson?
It is not essential, but even one lesson can help you feel confident. A simple sway is lovely too.
