Be sure to discuss song preferences with your band leader at least six weeks in advance.  Don’t worry if you have other songs in mind as most of the higher level dance bands and wedding bands will learn special wedding song requests, including your first dance song and parent dance songs. You do need to allow time for
them to prepare and rehearse, though.

Take time when selecting your wedding dance songs as they set the mood and create unforgettable moments at your wedding. Music makes memories that last a lifetime, so ask your Wedding Dance band to help you put together the best list of wedding dance songs. It takes a lot of hard work to make your day successful, but with some smart preparation, you’ll put together a great set list of music and have an unforgettable wedding night.
