First dances and other song requests
Will a band perform my first dance – or other requests - if not on their song list?
There is no hard and fast rule and some bands are more willing than others to learn first dances and other requests. A key factor is whether the band feel that they can do a good job and that the song fits the genre of music they perform. They will also be more willing to learn a song that is not too obscure and which they will be able to use again. In all cases, the more advance warning the better. So ask early, even at the time of booking, if this is really important to you.
