The first dance is everything — here's how to nail it.
Why the opening 90 seconds set the tone for the entire reception, and the three songs I always have on standby.
The first dance isn't a song — it's a signal. It tells every guest in the room what kind of night this is going to be.
I always prep three backup tracks with the couple: their chosen song, a shorter edit, and an emergency favourite. Nerves happen. Tech happens. Being ready is the gift.
My rule: the moment that song ends, the next track is already moving. Don't let the room breathe — let it dance.
