Wedding Music for your big day.
Although many bands may be able to learn a special song just for you, it’s often easiest to pick a first dance song which is already in their play list. Likewise, classical musicians may read sheet music but a well rehearsed tune for your ceremony is far more preferable to putting manuscript in front of them and making the best of it.
Many professional bands perform so regularly that they don’t rehearse more than once in a blue moon and, with the best will in the world, may not be able to book rehearsal space in what little free time they have to learn songs for all their clients.
That said, it is still common practice for a band to learn first dance songs and Alive Network welcomes your suggestions.
Can the band physically play your song?
If you’re booking a jazz band to play at your reception but want your first dance to be ‘Rock DJ’ by Robbie Williams, chances are the band not going to be able to accommodate. Be aware of the instrumentation and style of the band you're booking and realise what limitations this might have on what they can play.
Another good example of this would be a rock/pop party band being asked to perform a tune like ‘Fly me to the moon’ by Frank Sinatra (a popular choice for first dances.) The popular Sinatra version of this song has an orchestra playing on it and whilst your party band may be able to busk the chords on guitar and piano, it won’t sound like the original.
Ask your Alive Network agent for advice if you’re unsure what your band could or couldn’t play.
Get your first dance song on CD
A quick solution is to get your first dance song on CD and have either the DJ or band play the song through their equipment. This is a very popular choice as it’s the least hassle and allows the band to create an impact when they kick off their set immediately afterwards.
Choosing a first dance
Most first dance tunes are songs which mean something special to the happy couple. Maybe a song you both listened to when you we’re first dating or one which reminds you of a special event. Other people may choose songs which fit the theme of the wedding, or which just say something romantic.
