WHAT?! No way! I wouldnt do it. Is the choreographer suggesting that so they do not have to make a longer routine? What song are you using if you dont mind me asking? To me the first dance in its entirety is important so I would not shorten it. Its not like it is 6 minutes long.

Ok its your wedding so you should do whatever you want and whatever is going to make you happy.

 

That being said I'm going to be honest only b/c you asked for opinions. I think 3:18 is too long. I'm not a choreographer but I used to choreograph dances for dance schools and shows. It is a lot, trust me. If you guys are excellent dancers and think you can remember three minutes worth of music, then hey go for it. But just keep in mind that its longer than you think once your actually dancing to it. Another thing your choreographer maybe thinking about is your guests. Sometimes it can seem really long for a guest to watch the couple dance for over three minutes.

 

But ultimately its your wedding and you guys should do whatever is going to make you happy. So if you want your full song, I say go for it! cheer2.gif

our dance instructor told us the following:

"we recommend the first dance last between 2.5 – 3 minutes". ours is the merging of a traditional song for 2 minutes and then salsa type song for a minute...so about 3 minutes.

No, I don't mind at all...we are dancing to Fever by Peggy Lee...the choreographer felt the 3 minutes was too long to watch a couple dance...isn't 3 minutes the norm for most songs??

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
