Bride & Groom First Dance Announcement

[Norfolk DJ 0]

I'm thinking about altering what I say when requesting the B&G to have their first dance.

 

Just wondered what others say on here to give me some fresh options.

Give us a clue as to what you already say, and then we can comment.

 

I keep it simple, as I've got an unimpressive microphone voice and I think people lose interest in waffle after a few seconds anyhow.

 

Something like:

Ladies and gentlemen, a big hand please as we welcome 'bla' and 'bla-ess' onto the dance floor for their first dance together as husband and wife."

 

That's pretty much what I said last night, and is all that's required. Maybe an indication that the first dance is imminent a track before would be helpful, too, unless there's a cake cutting session immediately before the first dance, as has happend on the last two wedding evenings I've done.

I welcome the couple by their first names to the dance floor and on their way I compliment the bride and tel the groom he doesn't look too bad either and then before I start the music ask the audience for 3 cheers for Mr & Mrs whatever

if they have the first dance early on in the evening i sometimes use that time to introduce my self aswell, something like..

 

well, a very good evening to you welcome to (venue) my names chris o'grady your dj for the evening, as you all know were here to celebrate the wedding of Jan&john who are now going to have their first dance together as husband & wife, there dancing to a exercelent track called (whatever) so ladies and gentlemen please can i have a massive round of a pulse as we welcome to the floor, jan&john.

i would probably do this over some music.

if the dance is later on just do as above says keep it quicker as you'll have already introduced yourself early on.

Where possible I'll have them standing just outside the room or at the very least off the dancefloor and say:-

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, would you please be upstanding and welcome onto the dancefloor John and Joan (slight pause) Mr & Mrs Smith :love:

I alway pre-empt the first dance with a request

" Ladies & Gentlemen, Quickly ! dig out your box brownies, you will be needing them in just a minute "

 

This is my q to the bride & groom that she/he has just one minute !

 

Ladies & Gentlemen,,,, Lets welcome to the dance floor Mrs jones. and her lucky husband mr jones.

"Wow what a gorgeous outfit, abolutley stunning, ravishly, ,,,,, and she looks great too !
