For the first dance we plan to do the whole song but I'm thinking about fading out the songs for the rest of the dances after a minute and a half or so. Even though the day is about us, I hate being in the spotlight so the less time dancing, the better for me haha
All of our dances were shortened. We had the DJ fade the song out after the first verse and chorus. As a guest who has been to weddings where they danced to the entire song, I did not want to put my gests through that!

Lmao I think about this too. We're most likely not doing the full song. Specially cause most songs we like have a long intro and I feel it kinda drags. This also goes for our recessional song, we'll probably just play the upbeat part of the song and take it from there.
The first piece of advice my recently married cousin gave me was NOT to dance for your entire song haha. FH and I got lucky and fell in love with a song that is only 2 min 10 seconds long otherwise I'd definitely be doing the fade out.
This is something easily forgotten but your wedding location can be a big arrow toward what song feels right to your video. Was it an intimate setting or something more grand? Was it somewhere adventurous like a national park or something familiar like a family back yard? Was it a beautiful spring day or a snowy winter wonderland? While there are songs that literally mention locations, I like to simply get the idea of it instead and be a bit more subtle.
Music has been part of my life since I was eight years old. In high school I was encouraged to start my own rhythm-and-blues group, but when I moved to New York City in 1959, I had no entertainment career plans.
Evenings after work my colleagues and I would head for a Greenwich Village coffeehouse to play chess. One night I noticed a stage being constructed in a corner; the manager told me auditions for entertainment would be held later in the week. By that weekend, relying on nothing more than the songs I had created in my high-school and college days, I was in show business.
I gave up my day job and became a singer, comedian and master of ceremonies at the Gaslight Cafe. Increasingly I was drawn to the simple, yet profound, legacy of folk music. And each night between shows, I went to hear as many other performers as possible.
And then: despair. The impact of the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert Kennedy was devastating. The arts became more and more expressive of the dark mood of the country. Gone were the dreams of a better tomorrow. The only choices left seemed to be cynicism or escape.
Or so it felt to me. At the age of 30 I found success increasingly meaningless. The more popular Peter, Paul and Mary became, the emptier I felt. I began to recognize a barrier between my working lifestyle and my family, the people I cared for most.
I took the suggestion seriously. I started at Genesis and read the Bible whenever I could. I was fascinated, but it seemed like distant history. Then, after a concert in Abilene, Texas, a fan introduced me to the promises of Christ. He prayed with me. I knelt praying to a creator I had only hoped was there.
So I sang it that night, and the following nights. Each time it was well received, and each time I was amazed that something so particular had such a broad appeal. Is this what you wanted, Lord? I asked. Did you mean the song for everyone?
In the meantime I had chosen to spend more time with my family. I wanted to live a simpler life, away from the demands and pressures of performing. I half expected to hang up my guitar and stop playing professionally.
DO make requests earlier in the evening.
At the weddings I perform at, I encourage guests to make requests during the cocktail and dinner periods for two reasons. One, it allows me to understand what genres guests want to dance to on that particular evening; and two, it gives me time to figure out how I want to incorporate guest requests into my mix. Alternatively, some song requests are better suited for play during dinner and that allows me a chance to work them in a more appropriate fashion.
Plus Nicole + Tamara of Simply Tamara Nicole killed it! I loved sharing an airbnb with them and spending the day pulling off a beautiful wedding for a couple we love! They designed a beautiful Lake Chelan wedding in incredible heat and it was such a love filled day!! Here are a few favorites! Full fabulous vendor team listed below!
Last night as Anne and I sat down for dinner, Eric Clapton's Tears in Heaven started playing from my "liked" Spotify playlist. Anne started to mouth along to the song, which is unusual since she doesn't listen to much music, especially classic rock. I asked her how she knew the song, though I've played it plenty of times, and she said it was because of lot of her customers ordered it as their wedding song through her custom print business.
I was a bit shocked since I'm very familiar with the inspiration of the song. I remember watching Eric Clapton perform it on MTV's Unplugged decades ago and seeing that there was some true emotion there. It was only more than a decade later when "googling" became a thing where I found out the inspiration of the song.
Released in 1991, Tears in Heaven was inspired by maybe the most horrific tragedy that any parent could think of. On March 20, 1991, Eric Clapton's 4 year-old-son, Connor, accidentally fell to his death at his mother's New York City apartment after a window was left open after janitorial work. It's such a tragic story that it's hard to even think about, but you can read more about it on biography.com.
Anne & I's unoffical wedding song: The Hollies "The Air That I Breathe." It's a certified love song and longing for family. Albert Hammond, who co-wrote the song, moved to Los Angeles to be with a woman he fell in love with. He didn't quiet like Los Angeles. The "air" that's being sung about is the Los Angeles smog. He also missed his family back in London. Nonetheless, the song talks about how he doesn't need cigarettes, sleep, light, sound, food, and books as long as he's with this woman.
John Lennon's "Oh My Love": While there's a certain generation who is against John and Yoko Ono's union, there's no way to deny that they were really deeply in love and connected on a level that a lot of people don't. BTW, John Lennon, in interviews, credited Yoko Ono as being a co-writer of Imagine. Anyway, "Oh My Love," is basic and raw, simply talking about the love between two people and how that makes one see and sense things for the first time because of that.
The Beatle's "In My Life": Goosebumps, that's all I can say. It's been a while since I listened to this song and I just got goosebumps listening to it. It's a simple song talking about wonderful memories, but the best is yet to come since "they" are not together.
Elton John's "Your Song": Not sure there's much to say about this song. It's the song that made Elton John, "Elton John." It's one of the most popular songs that Anne prints for her business and you can't fault any couple for choosing it.
If you check out a lot of the other wedding DJ blogs on Google, you don't seem to see a lot of emphasis and focus on providing an excellent mix of music for the dinner music portion of your wedding. As a matter of fact, I've even seen some wedding DJs talk about putting some type of mix CD on and walking away to go grab a cigarette or eat dinner! I have never in a million years thought that this was an acceptable way of performing for any of my clients during dinner time. For me personally, as a professional wedding DJ, I put a lot of weight into dinner music. The dinner music portion of your evening is an excellent time for the modern bride and groom to not only grab some food and socialize, but also to reflect on what has just happened to them. After all the months (and in some cases, years), they have just married their best friend. The dinner music portion of your evening should have a playlist that is comprised of memorable songs that allow them to converse with their guests. That being said, it's been my recommendation since my career began as a wedding DJ to help my clients put together a meaningful selection of songs at dinner. But, what types of music are the best for your dinner?
The inspiration for this post came to me after one of my last weddings of the year. The bride and groom had left it to me to put together a playlist of songs for dinner. I think a lot of wedding DJs definitely miss the boat by thinking the dinner music portion of the wedding reception is just more or less 45-60 minutes of "fill" music. So many wedding DJs think this is the time that they can disappear from your wedding reception and pig out on YOUR food. They also think that the dinner music portion of your reception is a free-for-all where they can play anything they want. All of this could not be further from the truth. Your dinner music is equally as important as the dance music. ALL your music is important for your wedding day. Don't cut corners on this time during your wedding reception.
Lighter Music You Can Have A Conversation Over.
It should be common sense that dinner music not be comprised of songs at 120BPM. You are probably saying to yourself. "That's pretty obvious, Mike." Well, you'd think so, but remember what I mentioned up above about wedding DJs thinking that this is a time that anything goes. Nope. This is where YOU come in. When you are thinking about the music you'd like to hear for your wedding day, be sure to add in some songs lighter songs for dinner. Some of my clients make this part of selecting music more difficult than it should be. If you've spent any amount of time on my blog, you can tell I am a wedding DJ who is solely focused on music. Take look through your phone or Spotify accounts. I am sure you'll find some meaningful, light, conversational songs to add. But if not, I am here to assist you.
Programming The Dinner Music During Your Wedding Reception.
As important as I find the selection of your songs during dinner, what's equally as important is how those things are laid out. Like I mentioned up above, there are so many wedding DJs who assume that all weddings are the same, so they will play the same Sinatra (Best Of) CD or Michael Buble CD at all of their weddings. I must admit that is pretty boring because no two weddings are EVER the same. For me personally, I spend a lot of my time researching music. Whether it be new or old music, I am constantly trying to find music to freshen things up during dinner for my clients. I think laying all the song selections down for dinner in the right order is very important. So, if a wedding DJ thinks that all weddings are the same and just puts in a mix CD they've used at their last 50 weddings because it's easy, their clients are missing out. 152ee80cbc
