The Right Wedding Song for your First Dance

The first dance as a married couple is a very special moment at your wedding. It will be a memory you will cherish for the rest of your lives. The first dance also marks the beginning of the dancing portion in your wedding reception. It acts as a smooth transition from the formal dinner and speeches to the fun and loud dance party. For these reasons, it is important to pick the right song for your first dance. You want a song that will be meaningful or represent your relationship.

Some couples already have a song that they call "their song" which makes this decision easy. Most couples, however, actually don't have a song until their first dance. The song they choose to dance to for the first time as a married couple becomes "their song." Because of this, it is popular for many couples to choose romantic, timeless songs or ballads such as "At Last" by Etta James or Elvis's "Can't Help Falling in Love."

You may find that a lighter, more energetic song will represent you as a couple better. Many couples choose contemporary songs, such as "I've got a feeling" by Black Eyed Peas and prepare more comical dance routines. Some brides and grooms even prepare a flash mob as part of their first dance.

Whether you decide to go for the romantic, serious ballad, or the energetic and perhaps even funny routine, a good quality professional DJ is key to making your first dance the special moment you dream of. Not only will a good DJ have a huge song selection for you to choose from, but you can guarantee that the song will consistently sound good and the way you want it to for your dance. This is much better than a live band that may not perform your song the way you imagined or rehearsed. A good quality Wedding DJ will also set the mood with lights and can engage the crowd if you want your guests involved in the dance.
