Choosing the perfect song for your first dance can be a big challenge. There are hundreds of lists online with suggestions for love songs, first dance songs and alternative tunes – it can be a little overwhelming. In a bid to help you come up with first dance song ideas, we’ve put together our favourite first dance songs that were chosen by our real couples.
Aerosmith: I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing
The Beatles: Something
Bryan Adams – (Everything I do) I do it for you
Ed Sheeran: Tenerife Sea
Ed Sheeran – Thinking Out Loud
Ellie Goulding: How Long Will I Love You
George Ezra – Hold My Girl
John Legend: All of Me
(This one stands out in our memories. Part way through the song the DJ looked worried and it cut off. When the music started up again it was a Salsa from ‘The Fast and Furious’ – all planned by Allison & Mike who burst into a choreographed dance!)
Michael Buble: Home
Nat King Cole: When I Fall In Love
Paolo Nutini: No Other Way
Red Hot Chilli Peppers: Hard To concentrate
Red Jumpsuit Apparatus: Guardian Angel (acoustic)
