The average attention span of guests in 2022 is about 8 seconds. You've got 8 seconds to keep them engaged, that's it! Take your celebration to the next level, and truly create a personalized experience with some personalized twists to the traditional elements. I love the element of surprise! It creates excitement, your guests will stay longer because they don't want to miss anything.

Custom "Love Story" Style First Dance

Everyone coming to celebrate YOU on your day know you from all different chapters of your lives together, but they may not know how all of the pieces fit together. Let's create a custom "Love Story" Style edit of your first dance, and as your guests watch you dance, they will be sucked into to your story and will feel same emotion as what you are feeling on the dance floor! We surprised all of the guests at Emily & Ryan's celebration with a Love Story style first dance where we looped Ryan + Emily's story into their first dance song, Never Fade by Jack Johnson. A great way to engage guests and create an emotional connection!

Viral Mash Up First Dance

In this example, we took Derek & Sara’s first dance, “Hold on” by Michael Buble , and creatively inserted several fast dance song snippets throughout the song. Watch the guests reaction when we go from “Hold on” to the rest of the songs. This couple WOW’d their guests, they surprised them, and they engaged them! It was a night no one will ever forget!


Photo Montage Style First Dance

For some couples, they don't want the spotlight all on them through the entire first dance together. We could create a short photo montage of your lives together and growing up through the years that is one song in length, and as the song is playing with you on the dance floor, guests are watching the video on the screen of you as well. This can be done with just pictures and music, or your custom love story audio mixed in with it.

Sound Sensations Entertainment created a special slide show with a custom looped voice over with Christy + Max's "Love Story" for their first dance together, this created a moment both for them, and their guests that will never be forgotten! It's all about creating moments that guests will rave about!
