Your first dance song sets the mood for one of the most intimate moments of your wedding day. Here’s how to pick the perfect track:

Consider the Lyrics & Meaning

Listen carefully to the lyrics of potential songs. Make sure they reflect your love story and relationship. Some songs may sound beautiful but have sad or unrelated lyrics, so choose wisely!

Think About Danceability

Some songs are easier to dance to than others. Consider whether you want a slow and romantic sway, an upbeat number, or a choreographed routine.

Make it Personal

Choose a song that has sentimental value—maybe it’s the first song you danced to together, a tune from your favorite concert, or one that reminds you of a special moment.

Keep It Short

A song between 2-3 minutes is ideal. Anything longer might lose the audience’s attention. If your chosen song is longer, consider working with a DJ to edit it down.

Match Your Wedding Theme

If you’re having a classic, elegant wedding, a timeless ballad might be best. For a casual or fun atmosphere, an upbeat pop or jazz song could be a better fit.
