Best First Dance Songs 2023
Choosing your first dance song is incredibly personal, so I wanted to share some first dance song ideas to get your musical creative juices flowing.
I have below 99 real first dance wedding songs, all chosen by couples in real wedding features. All of these first dance songs are different, both in rhythm and style.
Your first dance song could be formal, casual, slow and romantic or fun and energetic. You could have your first dance alone as a couple or invite your guests to join in. You could even have more than one first dance song. Some couples have a mash-up, starting with a ballad before mixing things up with an upbeat track. There really are no rules. You can also play my wedding song playlist right here on this page, which features many of the listed first dance songs and some new first dance songs too.
