How to Pick the Perfect Song for Your Wedding’s First Dance

Transform the search for your first dance song into a romantic date night. Set aside an evening at home, free from distractions, to dive into your favorite albums and playlists together. Create a cozy ambiance with dim lights, perhaps some candles, and let the music play. As each song unfolds, share memories that come to mind or how the music makes you feel about each other.

Take notes on the melodies that move you, the lyrics that touch your heart, and the rhythms that make you want to dance. This intimate setting can turn the task of choosing a song into a memorable part of your wedding journey, allowing you both to connect deeply with the music and each other.

Embark on this musical quest together by creating a playlist where you both can add songs that resonate with your relationship. Listen to these tracks during various moments, such as a quiet dinner at home or while on a drive. This shared experience not only helps in narrowing down your choices but also enriches your connection as you explore musical preferences together. With time, one song will naturally emerge as the perfect choice for your appearance on the dance floor.

There are several styles of dance that couples choose to perform in front of their family and friends, from intimate sways to rehearsed choreography. A slow love song that allows you both to embrace the moment is just as valid and meaningful as a dedicated performance that gets your blood pumping. As long as the song feels natural and brings you closer together, then you will know you made the right choice.

If finding the best first dance song for your special day is overwhelming, then you can always reach out to those around you. Seeking the advice of friends and family who have spent tremendous amounts of time orbiting your relationship is a fantastic place to start. If they have extensive music knowledge, know your preferences, or just understand what makes you tick, they may have a suggestion in mind that clicks.

You can also rely on the professional musicians and DJs you are hiring to give you some friendly advice.
