Whats the latest you have done the first dance

What's the latest time you have introduced the first dance at a wedding?

For me it was 9.30pm last night. Evening reception was suppose to start at around 7.30ish,butthere was only 18 people there at this time. I spoke to the b&g and they told me that they were expecting around 100 guests,so we both agreed to wait until nearer 8pm.yes 8pm came only around 25 guests,8.30pm about 30.The b&g still wanted to wait hopeing that more guests would arrive, so I respected there wishes. Well at 9.30 there was only around 35 guests there so we agreed just to get on with it.

That is the latest I have ever introduced a first dance

What about you?

Funny you should bring this up now as Steve had a great one last week, but I'll let him come and tell you about it next time he's on-line rather than stealing his thunder!

I introduced one at about 9 a few weeks ago, and to be honest, it (and the disco to follow) seemed more like a side show! Very bizarre. I think it was just the fantastic weather, when it was still getting dark around 10.30pm... and this particular venue had stunning grounds but not so stunning interior decor (IMO).

I dj with a band and we are booked as a package together. We had a wedding a few weeks ago and the first dance was at 12.50 am :eek: They finished at 2 and i played till 3.30 am.

10.30 is my latest, 12 finish.

Blimey, my PC must be capable of time travel then, cos I'm sure I read his account of it last week. :whistle::D:D

10.15pm for me, but it was a 1am finish in that case.

In some cases it's no bad thing as you can continue the dancing right the way through the evening without a need for people going off the the buffet, feeling full, not dancing for 30-60 minutes sometimes.

10.45pm for me. B & G didn't get married till after 4pm, and food didn't get served till 8pm. Finish time was midnight, so it was the shortest wedding ive done.

I once didn't get to do the first dance due to the groom going home very drunk and worse for wear at....



Half past 7 - before most of the guests had even started to arrive!!!! :eek:

Ouch I bet that is a long and happy marriage.

Not a first dance but I've gone on way after 11 on an occassion or 2.

One was a 8-12 pub gig and on account of the football running on I didn't start until 11ish. I got to sit listening to floyd with my earphones on watching the game :)

Another one was a charity fundraiser where the organiser was pretty drunk at the start, proceeded to get smashed and let the whole "organiser" roll go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay by the wayside. I want on after Midnight for a 1am finish.

Good god! That's a Loooooooooooooooooong reception!!!

[djdave01]

this reminds me of a charity race night I did years ago. The race night part of the event took so long that I didn't start till 11.40pm, and finished at midnight.
