"Rock The Reception" in Saskatoon!

One of the newest wedding trends is to have a choreographed, surprise first dance. Traditionally first dances have been slow, romantic songs however; some couples prefer to forgo tradition and choose a fun and upbeat song to surprise and sometimes shock their guests!


As a wedding planner with a dance background I couldn’t be happier to accommodate my clients who want to (literally) shake up the norm with some funky moves and cool tunes. I have had the honor of choreographing several first dances for my clients and it is always a blast!

Surprise first dances come with a few challenges and you want to be sure you are well prepared so that the first dance is not something you are stressing about your entire wedding day.

• Start early and give yourself plenty of time to rehearse

• Consider your gown and what moves will work with your style of dress

• For clients that are nervous about being the complete centre of attention you might consider including your bridal party

• Try your best to keep it a surprise from your guests but be certain to let your photographer and videographer know so they can capture every moment

• If possible try to rehearse in your reception space. Sometimes nerves can set in and the new dance space can mix you up and turn you around
