Posted by Jason | Filed under Wedding DJ Advice
The First Dance of the Bride and Groom at a Wedding Reception is the one moment that everyone will have all eyes and ears on the Bride and Groom. Relish the moment, it’s one that you and your friends and family will always remember. When you’re picking your song, keep in mind that lyrics are important, but above all, the song should be one that really means something to you as a couple. We wrote another article a while back that goes into more detail about choosing your First Dance Song, and also gives some Song choices that might not be found on the list below, go check it out here: Choosing The First Dance Song Article
Here’s a list of 62 unique Songs for the Bride and Grooms First Dance. We compiled them from 97 Brides and Grooms who hired our DJ services in 2010. Obviously, several Brides and Grooms chose the same song as other couples, but to have 62 unique choices across 97 weddings is great and it shows how unique most peoples taste in music really is. Go to Youtube and search for the song by artist and title and listen to the song if you aren’t familiar with it.
We hope you find a song that works for you, and if not…pick something totally unique to you and your fiance and feel free to comment on this post with other suggestions for First Dance Songs, we’d love to hear from you!

Bride and Groom’s First Dance Idea: A Candlelight Dance?
Posted by Chris | Filed under Wedding Planning
A few weeks ago I was the DJ for Tony and Niya’s wedding at Hartleys Botanica Gardens, one of our most frequented Wedding Reception sites in Ventura County. This couple had several unique ideas at their wedding, but most impressive was their very different approach to the Bride and Groom’s 1st dance. Everything was prearranged with me, the Master of Ceremonies, so I knew how to organize this special moment to make it easy for the guests and perfect for the Bride and Groom. We had all the guests, 150 in total, come up to the dance floor and make a big circle around the floor where the Bride and Groom would soon bask in this beautiful limelight. Then, the guests were given candles to light from the unity candle. The end result was truly moving. This was one of the prettiest 1st Dances I have ever seen in over 17 years of working as a Wedding DJ. If you’re having an outdoor wedding, you may want to consider this idea. You will need to check with your venue first, and most likely you’ll need some type of fire permit. I can’t offer much more advice on that but I can tell you that a Candlelight First Dance is stunning and truly unforgettable! Just take a look at that photo again.
