First Dance Question

silly

I presume its the band that plays your first dance, as your dj wouldnt be arriving until later..
so..what if the band dont know the song you want?
Do you bring a cd to the hotel before the wedding?
Who will play it then?? Someone from the hotel, or someone from the band??

Confused...

I think the band will usually play it on a cd or something if they can't play it themselves. I may be wrong though! Best check it with the band first.

Our band asked us to ring them a month before the wedding to let them know what the first dance song is so that if they dont know it, they can learn it for the wedding!

As a dj, I always arrive and have my pa setup and ready to go before the band start and have played the first dance a number of times due to issues with their equipment.

Any decent band will be able to learn your song. Just let them know in advance.

Thanks for clearing that up guys!

just a thought to consider - it is worth hearing the band singing it before you decide one way or the other & to make sure that they can sing it in the style you want - sometimes they can adapt the song to suit their own set up & it can make or break it.
