Wedding Reception Perfection is very easy to use and can help ease the lengthy list of choices for special dances. We offer drop down lists of Bride/Father, Groom/Mother songs along with many other dances because we know those choices can be difficult. Here’s some advice though if you are dancing with a parent, bridal party, kids or other relative. Make sure they are involved in the choice of songs because it will make the selection process much easier. I recently consulted a couple who admitted they had no idea what to choose for dances with their parents. They found 2 songs on our drop downs and the problem was quickly solved. Many times those special people in your life have a favorite song or artist and all you have to do is ask! Whatever you do make sure your entertainer knows about these choices a good 2 weeks in advance of the wedding especially if the songs are older or atypical. I recently had a groom ask me to find an old song unavailable on I Tunes or CD. I found it through a personal friend who had a copy but it took me over a week to finally receive the song. I’ve also had to deal with wedding websites where the songs are expensive and need to be sent via the mail service which can be at least 10 days. Recently I had an experience involving a Groom who forgot to call me the day before the wedding to tell me what song he and his Mother were dancing to. During cocktail hour he pulls out a piece of paper and reveals the song to me which I did not have on my hard drive. We had to download it via I Tunes in the banquet managers office and I had to pay for it! A good ending to a crazy night but I will no longer accept the risk of disappointing anyone with a song choice that should have been decided a couple of weeks before the wedding. If the songs are ethnic in nature and need to be given to the DJ just make sure they are dropped off a couple of weeks in advance. All professional entertainers want to look exceptional in front of your guests as it’s how we make a living.
You want to look good in front of your guests too so consider good preparation a good part of the deal as events will flow more smoothly throughout the reception.
