Mistakes Happen.

Sunday, March 6th, 2011

I’m human, I’ve made mistakes, we all have.  It happens at any level in any profession.  However, I believe how you recover (not cover up) mistakes that is where experience really pays off.

This vid has been doing the rounds on YouTube quite a bit lately from somewhere in North America.  The DJ plays the wrong song as the first dance eventually, but there’s much more to it both before and after that little technical glitch.

The guy made a mistake, he should have fixed the mistake and moved on without using the microphone. Watch the entire thing for full effect.

First Dance Nerves? Here’s An Idea

Thursday, October 14th, 2010

Imagine – you’re introduced, everybody is standing and applauding your entrance to the reception.  You both head straight for the dance floor as your entrance music transforms into your first dance song.

Sometimes my clients just want to get their first dance out of the way.  They may be nervous, or just plain excited because they’ve practised it so well.  Others want to make an entrance to their reception that just a bit different and unexpected.

Whatever their reason, I love this when it happens.  It’s just so different – I’ve only done this maybe 3 or 4 times in my 20+ years.  It also means the dance floor is “open” for guests later at their leisure instead of politely waiting for that first dance to take place, and even your most senior guests will see that dance no matter what time they retire for the evening.

Just an idea.

3 Reasons Why Your First Dance Is So Important.

Monday, June 21st, 2010

It’s a common enough wedding question: “Do we HAVE to do a first dance?” I see it come up often on wedding forums such as Weddings.co.nz and my clients ask me from time to time as well. In my professional opinion, there are a couple of genuine reasons why a first dance at your wedding is a good idea.

  1. If you’re sticking to anything of a “traditional timeline”, the first dance is after dinner and dessert. The first dance can act as a sort of psychological turning point for your guests. Once the first dance is under way, they instinctively know it’s time to kick it up a notch, relax a little more, and the atmosphere shifts.
  2. Keeping with the assumed “traditional timeline” above, the first dance seems to be a polite time for senior guests to leave. I’ve seen them sit quietly patiently waiting, then depending on the time of night they politely say their goodbyes shortly after that first dance.
  3. It’s a chance to really get creative. You don’t have to do a surprise Thriller routine, and you don’t have to win Dancing With the Stars. It’s your chance to just be yourselves – with all of your closest friends and family watching. No pressure!

That last point really deserves it’s own blog entry. “Creative First Dance Pointers” coming soon!
