A Quick Tip From Your DJ
You do not need to use the entire song.
Most first dances feel natural at about 2 to 2.5 minutes. Some couples want a little longer, others are ready to wrap it up sooner, and both are completely fine.
During your first dance, I will keep an eye on you and we will make eye contact. When you are ready, just give me a quick nod and I will bring the song to a clean close.
That way your first dance lasts exactly as long as you want it to.
