I often get asked my opinion on what a great “First Dance Song” at a Maui Wedding would be. All though there are many, many options available. I created this list from a few Maui Wedding Receptions that I have been a part of over the past year. These song choices are in no particular “At Last” by Etta James “Save Room” by John Legend “The Way You Look Tonight” by Frank Sinatra “You Got What I Need” by Joshua Radin “Use Somebody” by Kings of Leon “Lets Get Lost” by Chet Baker “Can’t Get Enough of Your Love” by Barry White “Feel So Close To You Right Now” by Calvin Harris “A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri “When You Got A Good Thing” by Lady Antebellum “That’s How Strong My Love Is” by Otis Redding “On A Night …

Grand Entrances I was talking with a Bride the other day prior to her Big Day and a topic that came up was having fun at the introduction of their bridal party. What were some of my favorite ideas?

I was asked a great question the other day and I wanted to share with everyone. I wanted to give you something to think about when you are thinking about Toasts. The question was, “Should we limit the amount of people who want to give a toast at the reception? What about the rehearsal dinner, should we limit the toasts as well?” So, I asked besides the bridal party and immediate family, who was going to be in attendance at the rehearsal dinner.
