Wedding Entertainment Ideas: Signature First Dance
So your wedding is coming up and you want yours to stand out in a unique way. Why not add our Signature First Dance? It is a sure fire way to make your wedding one-of-a-kind. If you’ve never heard of this, you’re probably not alone – which is exactly why you SHOULD add this to your wedding day. We are one of the first and only entertainment companies to offer this service and you could be on the cutting edge of what is sure to be the next “big thing” in wedding entertainment.
So what exactly is a Signature First Dance? To state it simply, this is where we take whatever First Dance song you choose and enhance it. We set up a session where we record you both telling the story of either how you first met one another or the story of your proposal. One of the twists is that we have you both record your story separately from one another (and hopefully they match). Once you finish the recording of the story, we have each of you record (again separately) a dedication to one another … something you’d like your significant other to hear the day of the wedding. Then you leave the rest to us.
We’ll splice in the story throughout the First Dance switching from one person telling a section of the story to the other person telling their perspective of it making it appear as if it was told together. In a perfect world, the song will already have instrumental breaks where we can splice the recorded story without taking away from the original song or making it too long. But if that’s not possible, we’ll use our production skills to edit the song and add in some instrumental sections and have the story crescendo at just the right place.
It’s a perfect way for people to hear your story at such an intimate time during the reception. We’ve seen people laughing hysterically and others crying their eyes out because it’s so beautiful. The best part is it’s a surprise to not only your guests, but for the bride and groom as well. We don’t share the finished product until the wedding day.
After the wedding, we’ll send you a digital version of the customized song, as well as the raw interviews to have as a keepsake. We hear from past couples all the time that this MADE their wedding and the song becomes that much more meaningful.
What if you’ve already booked us as your entertainer and didn’t request this service? Or maybe you booked another DJ company? Not to worry! You can book this service separately and if you have another DJ company handling your entertainment, we’ll be glad to forward the finished product to them so they can play it on your day!
