24 May Private Last Wedding Dance

The Private Last Dance is a wonderful way to end your wedding reception. Although it is not a new concept, more and more newlyweds are opting to take part in the Private Last Dance.

When a couples decides to do the Private Last Dance, Soundwave Entertainment DJs recommend having a Last Dance with your guests present; it’s only fitting to “end” the night with your guests. That Last Dance can either be a slow couples dance, sing-along or a high energy dance hit…whatever fits your vibe. The Last Dance with guests typically takes place about 15-20 minutes prior to the reception end time.

After the Last Dance, your Soundwave DJ will instruct guests to gather their belongings and head outside for the formal farewell. Typically “clearing” the wedding reception of guests takes about 10 minutes. The Wedding Planner will meet guests outside and organize the farewell, typically with sparklers or streamers.

Once the wedding reception is clear of all guests, your Soundwave DJ will ask staff to clear the room as well, and close the doors. At that time, the DJ will play the Private Last Dance. Just 4 minutes of alone time, just you and your new spouse reflecting on the day and taking a little private moment to yourselves.

After the Private Last Dance, the newlyweds then proceed outside where all the guests are anxiously waiting to wish you farewell!

27 Mar Fur Baby Wedding Attendant

We love when Soundwave brides and grooms include their fur babies at their weddings! Our 4-legged friends are a major part of our lives so why not include them? We have seen some dogs carry the rings, while others just happily walked (or ran!) down the aisle. Guests will get a big kick out of “Rover” coming down the aisle and it certainly puts a little personal touch on your celebration. And of course, you get some extra cute pictures!

25 Mar Use Mother Nature As The Perfect Setting For Your Outdoor Wedding

Mother nature and her beauty is all around us! So when planning your outdoor wedding ceremony, just look around for your inspiration. Sometimes the simple beauty of an oversized Oak Tree is all you need, or a serene lake with a beautiful sunset in the distance, or a cluster of Cypress Trees gently blowing in the breeze.

Orlando has a plethora of amazing venues with an assortment of possibilities for naturally beautiful outdoor wedding settings. Check out some of the images below of venues Soundwave Entertainment works at often for wedding planning inspiration.
