In this episode of Wedding Day Podcast, host Sonja Babich and co-host Alexis Sanabria, Publisher of Washington Wedding Day, sit down with Ernesto Abreu Jr. and Gabrielle Earle, the energetic team behind Visionary Productions, LLC. Based in Washington state, this dance-forward duo is transforming how couples prepare for their first dance—making it less about perfection and more about connection, confidence, and joy.
Ernesto and Gabrielle walk listeners through what makes their approach so effective and fun. Whether you’re a couple with two left feet or aspiring to dazzle the crowd, Visionary Productions tailors the experience to your comfort level and timeline. Their offerings include private custom choreography packages, virtual dance lessons and a First Dance Workshop for couples who just want to learn the basics and skip the sway-in-a-circle panic.
Listeners will also hear tips on choreographing additional wedding moments—from emotional parent dances to fun reception openers and even flash mob-style group numbers. But beyond the steps and spins, it’s the emotional payoff that keeps couples coming back. Ernesto and Gabrielle share how the dance floor can be a place of bonding, laughter, and lasting memories.
Throughout the conversation, they also offer practical advice on everything from choosing the right shoes and dress for movement to navigating your venue layout. Their warm, encouraging approach reminds couples that confidence—not choreography—is what makes a first dance unforgettable.
