Choosing your first dance song is one of those decisions that feels enormous - and then the moment it starts playing, everything else disappears and it's just you two.
I've played hundreds of first dances and these are the songs that consistently give me goosebumps. A mix of timeless classics, unexpected gems and a couple of wildcards - because your first dance should feel like you, not just any wedding
(slow intro into the drop) Okay hear me out. Starting slow and intimate then dropping into the full track is one of my fave first dance moments. Your guests will lose their minds. 10/10 would recommend.
The Schitt's Creek version. Raw, gentle and surprisingly powerful. An underrated gem that still turns heads every single time.
This song is absolutely beautiful and the lyrics are perfection for a first dance. Criminally underrated!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written and absolutely devastating in the best possible way. If you want everyone in the room crying happy tears - this is it.
An unexpected and absolutely gorgeous choice. Rich, soulful and completely timeless. If you haven't heard it, go listen right now.
Breezy, romantic and a little unexpected. The kind of first dance song that makes people go "oh I love this song" and immediately want to dance too.
Timeless, joyful and completely magical. There's a reason it never goes out of style — it just works every single time.
Timeless doesn't even cover it. There's a warmth and gratitude to this song that feels perfectly placed at a moment where you're surrounded by everyone you love most. Gets me every time.
Stunning, emotional and incredibly popular right now - for good reason! In this case, playing the original track is generally the go! The orchestral build is everything. It swells in a way that fills the whole room and takes the moment to another level entirely
Honestly? This is my number one recommendation every time. Before you look at any list - including this one - ask yourselves what song makes you both feel something. A song from your first date, the one that was playing when they proposed, the track you've danced to in your kitchen a hundred times. There are no rules - this is your wedding day and we can create magic out of any song!
