An intimate wedding is always and smaller than a more traditional wedding. We at Meander Gatherings achieve this by streamlining the ceremony in various ways. One of the things that our customers often ask us if they should include a “First Dance” as part of their intimate wedding. Our thoughts are that you absolutely should!

A First Dance Makes Moments Into Memories

It’s true! The act of dancing allows us to feel closer to our partner, and an intimate wedding moment like this shouldn’t be ignored. When you roll on through to the rest of your lives, you want to have that memory of you two dancing to your favorite song. Or, maybe you surprise your spouse with a song that’s important to the both of you!

Nervous? No Problem! 

If the spotlight and having to dance in front of everyone you know makes you nervous, that's okay too! You can invite your parents and/or friends to dance with you. Make it a party and everyone can join in! And, they’ll love you for it! Besides, if everyone is dancing and partying, you can be yourself and just celebrate with everyone. That’s all we really want, anyway.

Your Intimate Wedding Moments Create Family Treasures

Here’s the deal. You should make sure that your wedding helps produce memories that will last a lifetime. But, those memories should be captured in camera so you can show them to your kids and grandkids! Don’t be afraid to make those memories like your first dance, and let us capture them for you! That’s what we’re here for, anyway!
