Claire & Steven - June 1st, 2019

The crowd was in for a surprise with Claire & Steven. What started as Steven leading a slow waltz to “Can’t Help Falling In Love” by Elvis morphed into Claire leading a hip hop duet to a dubstep remix of it. At first they fight over the song but end up fusing both styles together, reflecting their dynamic as a couple.

When we signed up for having our First Dance choreographed with Ryan, we didn’t realize it would end up being the absolute highlight of our wedding. Never mind the venue, the flowers, the dress, the vows… the First Dance is what everyone still talks about.

Ryan was extremely dedicated throughout the process of working with us creatively and technically to come up with a dance routine that was fun, entertaining, and the perfect amount of challenging. Neither of us are dancers, but with Ryan’s patient guidance and expertise, we managed to pull off seeming like we knew what we were doing for 3 entire minutes.

Dance rehearsals were a nice break from the rest of wedding planning, and the practices were paced out well so that the routine was fresh in our minds on the big day. Getting to perform in front of all our friends and family was so much more fun than we could have ever anticipated, and something we’ll always remember.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had friends of friends come up to me and say, “Hi, you don’t know me but so-and-so showed me your wedding dance online and it was awesome!” So thanks Ryan, for helping make our first dance something that even strangers thought was awesome.
