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.

Planning your First Dance; our recent songs list
Posted by Jason | Filed under wedding tips
The Bride and Groom First Dance is one of the happiest moments of the entire Wedding Reception. As you plan your wedding, it’s one of the many little decisions you’ll make along the way.
The placement of the First Dance in the schedule is a personal choice. In most cases the First Dance follows the Grand Entrance into the reception room pretty much immediately. When this is done, the meal usually follows and open dancing is scheduled later, this can allow the Bride and Groom to have their special moment as soon as they enter, with all eyes on them, and it also relieves the stress for the rest of the evening because the hard part is over, now it’s time to let loose and have fun. You can break that pattern if you need to and we’ve seen the first dance influenced by the logistics of the event location and the style of the event. Some Weddings are very non-traditional, or have longer receptions, and it’s often appropriate to hold the First Dance after the meal.
Even if you do not like to be in the spotlight, our suggestion is to keep in mind that this is one moment your guests will want to see and it is one of the most memorable moments of your wedding. We suggest taking a few dance lessons to ease the pressure and loosen up for the dance. If you aren’t the dancing type, don’t try to choreograph a complex Sir Mix-A-Lot surprise dance routine, it will seem too arranged. But dance lessons can definitely help you to look and feel as natural as possible for your First Dance.
But what song to use! Read the rest of this entry »
