A trend that’s been gaining in popularity over the past few years is a private last dance. It occurs after the last dance. Guests are invited to leave the main reception venue to prepare for the couple’s send-off. However, there are pros and cons to having the private last dance you should consider.

Pros

• The couple gets a special moment with their new spouse to recap the day.

• The couple has a chance to unwind after a whirlwind of planning.

• Beautiful pictures of the couple. It could include a dancing on-the-clouds effect too.

• It can provide a sense of closure to the event, allowing the couple to transition from the hustle of the celebration to their new life together.

• Not having it might feel like missing an important element of the wedding experience.

Cons

• If the couple likes to drink it could be a drunken mess of a moment.

• Getting all of the guests out of the venue can be difficult.

• You need the photographer to stay for the entire reception to capture this moment which could increase their fee.

• Organizing a private last dance may require coordination with the DJ or band, which could be tricky, especially if the schedule is tight.

• Some couples might feel pressured to perform or create a memorable moment, which could detract from the enjoyment.

• If the couple isn’t comfortable dancing, this moment could feel awkward rather than romantic.

• The moment can feel heavy with emotion, which might not resonate with all couples or fit the overall vibe of the celebration.
