Dance Music

is for Dance Music, the heart and soul of every successful wedding.  Tears of laughter. Tears of joy. Candid moments of embarrassment, love, fun and excitement are often shared during this dubious segment of dance in your big scale of things (checklist crossed). Living in this part of the world, we are privileged to have the opportunities to experience, explore, listen and enjoy the myriads of talented artistes in and around Asia. As a wedding planner, planning the songlist is by far the most exciting part of planning a wedding and over the years, I’ve compiled a thorough list of songs (and the list is perpetually growing!). It will be impossible to feature all the dance music in this post so I’ve narrowed down to suitable songs for just the First Dance and Last Dance. Music is very subjective and these songs may not necessarily be your kind of music but they serve as a guide to help you narrow down your choices. It’s more important to decide on songs that have been influential during your courtship days or songs that hold a special significance to the both of you.
