How wedding singers view their job
How do wedding singers view their job? Here are some comments from one such singer, who we’ll just call Dave:
‘When I meet couples for the first time, we chat about everything from the venue to the type of evening they are hoping for and then It never ceases to amaze me when I ask the question “Do you have any first dance wedding songs in mind?” sometimes they literally have no idea and ask me for suggestions.
‘To me personally I believe that first dance wedding songs should be those which couples love, maybe a song which became meaningful when they were courting, or lyrically describe how they met or feel about one another now.
‘A good thing to remember also is that first dance wedding songs don’t necessarily have to be slow and smoochy. They can be fun and upbeat – more and more couples are now choreographing their first dance and having so much fun with it, it’s a pleasure to see some of the ideas that they come up with.’

- Angels – Robbie Williams
- Love is All Around – Wet Wet Wet
- Amazed – Lonestar
- I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing – Aerosmith
- Everything – Michael Bublé
