FIRST DANCE
How to choose music for your wedding in 5 steps
The choice of this song only depends on the couple (with which they identify)
The dance does not necessarily have to be a waltz. (it can be a pop, salsa, merengue, vallenato…)
The choice of this song only depends on the couple. Luckily, at this time you can have greater musical freedom and all types of genres can enter, even the most radical one that we had talked about previously.
Do you want to dance, a tango, a rock, a merengue, a salsa, a vallenato…?
Well, do it, it’s your moment, this is where the song you choose is the one that generates a unique connection during the dance, and the bride and groom will have that feeling of being there alone and united, dancing as if they were the only people in the world.
In that sense, the dance does not necessarily have to be a waltz, but is usually determined by the musical genre of the song they have chosen.
Another option and one that the most risky take is to perform a choreography as a couple or in a group based on the chosen theme.
Although nerves can play against you, especially if you are not very versatile in the art of dancing, it is worth adding that here originality is rewarded and with it it will be one of the weddings most remembered by everyone.
Additionally, we also recommend thinking and choosing with the work team, be it the wedding planner or, if applicable, the DJ or group, the dynamics and songs that will be played during the bouquet and league raffle.
PARTY
Don’t let yourself be completely carried away by your personal taste, think about your guests who like to dance.
Organize a list of songs or musical genres that should not be played at the party
Analyze the audience that is going to attend, such as what generations they are, how old they are, what genres they like and give that information to your wedding DJ, he will know how to mix and please everyone.
The crowning moment and expected by many of your wedding attendees is the moment of the party that comes after all the protocol and raffle of the bouquet and the garter.
We recommend at this time that you do not let yourself be completely carried away by your personal taste and musical fanaticism, because in the vast majority of cases they clash with the tastes of your guests and the idea is that at your wedding everyone is comfortable.
This does not mean that you ignore your preferences, but on the contrary, within the entire field of commercial music, tell the DJ or musical group to play some of your favorite songs so that your wedding can have that personal and unique touch.
If you want to structure the dance, the rumba begins first by analyzing the audience that is going to attend, such as what generations they are from, how old they are, what genres they like, do they like to dance or sing… that way it will be a little easier to know what songs , groups, orchestras and singers are preferred.
We recommend that you do this task alongside the DJ or group that you are going to hire to guarantee that all your attendees dance and sing at all times since it is not an easy task to achieve.
