Jamie Wolfer explains why private last dances at weddings are nearly impossible. A truly private moment requires either a walled room or guests at least a quarter-mile away, like in a distant parking lot. Most weddings can't pull this off logistically.

I really wanted to do a last dance with my husband. I thought that was going to be really sweet, sentimental time for us to just be out on the dance floor, the two of us kind of have those last moments together to really soak up the day, just be really present together. If you want a private last dance, it doesn't work if it's outside. It doesn't work unless the guests are super, super far away in the parking lot, in another location. Like, it will not be private if you don't have walls around you or if everyone has not traversed at least a quarter mile from the premises. So if this is something you want to do, both a send-off and a private last dance. Just bear in mind that it's not feasible if the people are right there, like just right there.
