A Cuban wedding teaser that starts with the music
Cuban wedding teasers often work best when they let the music in early: the trumpets or the bongos of a son band, the crowd shouting as the conga starts, or a single line of a Spanish toast before the first image. Pick a strong opening and a joyful close, such as the couple at the head of the conga line, and write them in the preference questions. Choose Social Teaser when you create the WeddingEditor project, upload the day, and WeddingEditor's AI editing makes a teaser of about a minute.
The teaser uses your recorded sound and comes back as a widescreen 1080p MP4.

How to order a Cuban wedding Social Teaser
- 1
Create a Social Teaser project
Select Social Teaser, then add every camera's files, including the one you set near the band. A teaser uses only a few seconds from many clips, so the dance floor coverage and details matter as much as the ceremony.
- 2
Brief the beats and the sound
In the moments question, write the opening, the two or three beats in the middle and the close. In the audio question, say whether the band, a vow or a toast should be heard first. Name anyone who must appear, such as the grandparents.

Download, share, refine
Buy One Wedding or use a credit and start processing, typically 24 to 72 hours, and the teaser is ready in your project to watch and download. Up to two email revision rounds are there if a beat is off.
Opening and closing beats for a Cuban wedding teaser
One opening, one close, a few beats between. Keep the list short. Before you write it, ask the couple who the teaser is for: relatives in Miami and abroad may want family and the band, while friends on social media may respond more to the party and the style of the day. The answer usually decides the opening.
Open on the band
"First sound: the trumpets of the son band, then the dance floor." Best when the band was recorded close.
Open on a Spanish line
"Start with the grandfather saying 'que vivan los novios', then the couple." A toast line can introduce the family in seconds.
Open on the details
"Open on the groom's guayabera being buttoned, then the bride's veil." A quiet, stylish start for a garden wedding.
Middle beats
"The kiss, the first salsa, a few seconds of the money dance."
Close on the conga
"End on the couple leading the conga line between the tables."
Close outside
"End on them walking out under sparklers, the band still playing inside."
What a Cuban wedding teaser needs
Suggestions only. Ask the couple whether they want family, style or party to lead.
Music early
Live son, salsa or timba is often the most recognizable sound of a Cuban reception. If you recorded it well, it can open the teaser and set the tone before any words.
Faces from three generations
Grandparents, parents and cousins on the dance floor together say a lot about these families. In many Cuban American families the grandparents were born in Cuba and the grandchildren were not, and seeing them dance the same salsa is part of what relatives treasure. Name one or two relatives the couple most wants to see, with what they wore, so they are easy to find in a busy room.
One playful beat
The money dance or the conga brings laughter and motion. One of them is usually enough; choose the one that best fits the couple. A teaser that tries to show every reception tradition ends up showing none of them well, so leave the rest for the highlight or your own longer film.
Story stays in longer edits
The vows in full, the toasts and the family history belong in the highlight or a film you cut yourself. The teaser shows the feeling, not the whole story. If you want subtitles for a Spanish line or your own titles, add them after download in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro.
Widescreen with your own audio
The teaser is a 1080p widescreen MP4 in which your recorded sound and music work together, balanced by your audio preference. There is no vertical version; reframe it in your editor for phone-first platforms.

What is a Social Teaser of a Cuban wedding?
It is the WeddingEditor Social Teaser made from your Cuban wedding footage: a widescreen preview of about a minute built from a few moments, sounds and faces you choose, and the one edit its project produces. WeddingEditor's AI editing makes it from your brief.
It is not a vertical clip for phone screens, and it is not the Highlight Reel of about 5 minutes, which is ordered as a separate project.
Cuban wedding teaser questions
Can the teaser open with the live band?
Yes. Write it as the opening beat and choose an audio approach that lets the live sound lead. The band's sound comes from your recording, so the closer the camera, the better.
Should the money dance be in a public teaser?
Ask the couple. Some families love sharing it; others would rather keep cash off social media. If in doubt, ask for faces and dancing without close shots of bills.
Can the teaser close on the conga line?
Yes. Name it as the closing beat in the moments question, and say who was at the front if it was not the couple.
The toasts were in Spanish. Will viewers who do not speak Spanish follow the teaser?
A teaser relies more on pictures and music than words, so a short Spanish line usually works for any audience. If the couple wants English heard first, say so in the speeches question.
Should the teaser show the ceremony at all?
It depends on the couple. A teaser for a party-loving couple can skip the ceremony and stay on the dance floor, while couples who married in church may want one quiet shot of the vows or the kiss. Ask them, then write the choice into the moments question.
Can I get a teaser and a highlight of the same Cuban wedding?
Yes, by making two projects, one set to Social Teaser and one to Highlight Reel. Upload the footage to each; every project is its own edit with its own purchase or credit.
What does a Cuban wedding teaser cost?
A teaser project takes one plan credit or one purchase of $119 one-time for one wedding, and it includes up to two revision rounds by email.
