Deliciously Perfect Songs For The Cutting Of Your Wedding Cake
It’s time to cut the cake! Cutting the cake on your wedding day (if you choose to include it) is so special that it’s given its very own moment, amongst a day of VERY big moments. Traditionally, cake cutting is your first task as an officially married couple. It also presents the perfect opportunity for an iconic photo opportunity.
To give this moment the respect it deserves, you should carefully consider which song earns the honour of being played when your knife touches the bottom. We are experts in finding the perfect musical pairing for any and all wedding moments, no matter how insignificant your partner thinks they are.
A Recipe for a Successful Cake Cutting Concerto
Flavour
Here it would be best if you determined your music flavour, more widely known as genre. This may be harder than it sounds, as many categories are available, from pop, rock, and hip-hop to country, classical and contemporary R&B.
Style
What emotion do you intend to cut your cake to? Yes, the musical choice can inject your desired emotion into cake cutting. Here you should explore your chosen genre and narrow down which emotion you wish to encourage. You may opt for a slow tune to have your guests wiping away tears of joy while they watch in awe of your love and happiness. Or you could keep the party vibes high and cut the cake to an upbeat tune, encouraging the celebrations to move onto the dance floor.
Presentation
Which talented performer is assigned the honour of performing your cake-cutting anthem? This decision is one you need to get right. It would be best if you found a band, soloist or duo capable of doing your cutting of the cake song and all other songs on the night justice. Picture it; you’re set to cut the cake, knife at the ready, and all you hear is your chosen wedding singers singing your carefully selected song off-key, vibe kill.
