February Love: First Dance Songs

It’s time for us to start prepping for the upcoming first dance songs for wedding season 2013. Some brides and grooms find their song choice comes from our play list but we also welcome the opportunity to learn a new song if it is something we do not currently play. As each new year comes, we find our clients chose a wide range of songs that are a combination of classics and contemporary selections. They can either be unique or a popular favorite, we see it all. We see couples take dance classes and some who chose to wing it. Either way, we hope you enjoy the moment. If you’re looking for a little inspiration, here’s a list of first dance choices from some of our 2012 weddings:

Mingling Music For Cocktail Hour

Maine Wedding Band

Everyone loves cocktail hour. It’s the kickoff to your celebration that will set the tone for the night. It’s also more of a laid-back setting for guests to mingle while you take photos or catch-up with out-of-town guests. Easy listening music is a great addition to cocktail hour. We can help you set the bar high. Before the band kicks off the reception music, consider adding an ensemble to jazz up the pre-party atmosphere. Here are samples from Wavelength’s guitarist and pianist.

Personal and Unique through Music

Weddings and special events offer the opportunity to reflect on relationships through celebration and music. With a special song or dance, you can make your wedding or special event personal and unique. You might have a first dance song that holds special meaning to you as a couple or maybe you are looking forward to learning a new dance routine. Is there a favorite song that you share with your mom or dad from your childhood? An anniversary or ethnic song that is important to you? A song that you’ve anticipated walking down the aisle to? Do you have a musician in your family or a close friend who sings? Over the years, Wavelength has added a number of selections to our repetoire for such special moments. Please let us know how we can help make your event unforgettable.
