Now that the planning of your Wedding Venue, Food, Bridal Gown, and Honeymoon is well underway, it’s time to think about your First Song!
The First Song is the centrepiece of your Wedding reception and enables you to share the story of your love through music and dance. It may be that special tune that played during your first date or when he/she first proposed; or one that reflects your fun personalities and views about love and life.
