The Professionals

Nothing is set in stone – the evening is yours. Just tell us your personal likes and dislikes and supply us with a list of up to 20 of your favourite songs a couple of weeks in advance. We learn new songs every month so we will always be bang up to date. With all of this in mind, a typical wedding dance with wonderland could go something like this -

Welcome – a selection of background music as your evening guests arrive, such as some modern scottish instrumentals by blair douglas, tracks from braveheart and outlander soundtracks, some celtic harp music.

Cut the cake – quite often the cake is cut at the start of the evening reception. We would welcome your guests at this point and invite them to take photos of you. We’d play some rousing scottish music and have everyone on their feet clapping along as you enter the room to cut the cake.

Grand march – popular for weddings in aberdeenshire. This would be co-ordinated with the staff at your venue.

First dance your choice of absolutely any song will be played. If we don’t know it we will learn it for you or play the original version if you’d prefer. Our most popular first dance songs include caledonia / amazed / thinking out loud. Unless you’d like the entire first song just to yourselves we’d invite your top-table guests and partners to join you about one minute into this song, then everyone else slightly later. This may be followed by a father / daughter dance which, again, can be any song of your choice.
