A live performance brings something personal and flexible. I can tailor the arrangement to suit your dancing style, extend it if you need more time, or strip it right back for intimacy. It feels like your own private concert, and it’s a beautiful way to make that moment truly yours at your Hertfordshire wedding.

This is the part I love. After your first dance, I usually roll straight into a 90-minute live set, and that very next song is everything. It’s the one where I say to your guests:

“Don’t go anywhere — we’re just getting started.”

It becomes a fun challenge for me: What’s the biggest, most irresistible song I can play right now to keep everyone on the floor? Whether it’s a roof-raising anthem or a ballad everyone belts out with arms around each other, I treat that first follow-up song like gold — and it always works.

This is where acoustic live music really shines. I can read the room, shift the vibe, and build momentum naturally.

As the couple, this is also the moment you finally relax.

You’ve welcomed your guests. The ceremony’s done. The pictures are taken. You’ve said hello to everyone. The big jobs of the day are over — and now you can truly unwind and enjoy the party. I often see that glow in a couple’s eyes right after the first dance: the moment they finally breathe out and go, “We did it.” And live music makes that transition feel effortless.

Some couples choose to add a father–daughter dance shortly after the first dance. It’s a lovely, emotional touch — and a clever way to draw guests back to the floor if they’ve drifted. I can play something meaningful live or help you choose a track that suits the moment.
