First Dances

First Dance Music Options

Choosing a song for your first dance is a hard choice, and one that you might find yourself and your groom fighting over! The most important thing is that the song represents how you feel about one another, or even better, is a song you both share special memories of together. Just make sure the lyrics are appropriate! If you're still stuck for ideas check out our list of failsafe first dance options:

For a romantic slow dance:
Amazed ¤ Lonestar
Better Together ¤ Jack Johnson
Come Away With Me ¤ Norah Jones
Especially For You ¤ Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan
Dream A Little Dream Of Me ¤ Ella Fitzgerald

For a more upbeat dance number:
I Wanna Dance With Somebody ¤ Whitney Houston
Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You ¤ Andy Williams
Everlasting Love ¤ Love Affair
Isn't She Lovely ¤ Stevie Wonder 
The You and Me Song ¤ The Wannadies

  • i have had the usual nerves trying to write a speech and find a first dance song, i did look at the list above but think aerosmith - never wanna miss a thing and snow patrol - chasing cars should be added as they are also very popular! good list though! kind regards, Gordon

  • Wow I hadn't thought of Lonestar but this song really did it for me. Have emailed my fiance! Thanks very much. I would also add the acoustic version of Jason Mraz's song 'I'm yours'.
