Live Music for Your First Dances
The first dance is the moment the whole room holds its breath. You step onto the floor, the song starts, and suddenly it's just the two of you, and everyone else fades out.
Having it performed live gives the moment a weight a recording just can't match.

What to Expect
Start the Evening the Right Way
The Moment
It starts with your first dance, performed live with the song timed and shaped around you. If you're having parent dances too, I'll cover those as well, then roll straight into the evening set and get the party started.
The evening set is an hour of upbeat, floor-filling live music built to bring the energy up and hand off smoothly to whatever entertainment you have coming next. Everything is coordinated with your venue so the transitions land right.
Top Tips
Your first dance song is worth thinking about early. Not because it's complicated, but because it's yours. It doesn't have to be a classic love song. Some of the best choices are the ones that only make sense to the two of you.
For the evening set, tell me your must-plays and your never-plays, and I'll handle the rest. A mix that covers different ages and tastes is usually what keeps the floor going longest.
If you want guests to join you mid-song rather than watching the whole thing, I can work with that too. Just let me know what you're planning and we'll make it work.

What Couples Say
We didn't want her to leave! All our guests were full of praise for Nicola. I could sit and listen to her all night — such a beautiful voice, and a lovely person.

Nicola was everything we hoped for. With a quintessential, fun vibe she guided us and matched what we had in mind. She put in so much effort to make it perfect — I would not hesitate for one second to recommend her.

Common Questions & Planning
First Dances Questions, Answered
What does the first dances package include?
Your first dances performed live (typically your couple's first dance plus any parent dances), followed by an hour of floor-filling live music to get your evening started. It's the perfect handover to your evening entertainment and sets the tone for the rest of the night.
Can I choose my first dance song?
Absolutely. It's one of the most personal moments of the whole day and it can be anything from a classic ballad to something completely unexpected. If a backing track isn't available for your chosen song, I can arrange for one to be recorded for a small additional fee. Just let me know early so there's plenty of time to prepare.
What kind of songs work best for the evening reception?
The evening is all about getting people on the dance floor and keeping them there. Think upbeat pop, classic crowd-pleasers, a bit of soul and feel-good anthems. Before the day you'll share your must-haves and your never-plays, and I'll take it from there.
Can we have parent dances as well as our couple's first dance?
Yes. Whatever combination works for you, I can cover them all as part of the first dances set. Just let me know what you're planning so I can prepare the right songs.
Can I combine the first dances with other packages?
Yes. The Full Shebang covers ceremony, drinks reception and first dances in one package. If you want to mix and match around your day, just get in touch and we can put something together that works.
What happens after the first dances set?
The hour of evening music is designed to build momentum and hand off smoothly to your DJ or evening band. I'll work with your venue coordinator to make sure the transition lands right, so the party keeps going without a dip in energy.
