Should the last song at a wedding be fast or slow?

Let's take a look at a few different options:

• Do you see yourself on the dancefloor with all of your friends and family dancing to something fun and upbeat?
• Maybe you and your partner are in the middle of the dance floor while all of your guests are around you in a big circle.
• Or maybe it's more like a rock concert with everybody singing at the top of their lungs ("Livin' On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi or "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey are popular last song choices if this is how you see your wedding reception ending)

There are no right or wrong answers. Think of how you want your wedding reception to end, and pick a song that fits that vision.

What is a private last dance at a wedding (or a secret last dance)?

A private last dance at a wedding is where the DJ plays one final song for the couple to dance to as the guests leave the reception room and get lined up for the grand exit. This private last dance is the perfect time to reflect on the wedding day, enjoy a few quiet moments together, and get a few more amazing photos.

Doing a private last dance at a wedding for your final dance is gaining more popularity with couples.

Let's look at a few reasons why you might want to consider doing a private last dance (secret last dance)

• Doing a private last dance is a great way to get a few more amazing photos and video before the reception ends.
• It gives the couple a few minutes alone to remember the amazing day that just happened.
• It gives the venue a chance to get your guests lined up for the sparkler exit (or whatever kind of send-off you are doing).
• Did we mention the amazing photos?!

Ask your DJ to use a fog machine for your private last dance (also works great for your first dance)
