Top 7 Songs for a Magical First Dance at Your Wedding
Every couple wants their wedding to reflect who they really are, honor their guests, and to be a beautiful event. A big part of this is your first dance, which you want to be perfectly magical. While your perfectly magical wedding is likely to look a bit different than the next person’s, there are certain songs that are special enough to make the master list. An award-winning music entertainment company in Pennsylvania has the experience and the wedding savvy to help you perfect your wedding playlist and find the song that tells your love story.
1. “Can’t Help Falling in Love” by Elvis Presley
“Can’t Help Falling in Love” is a classic that transcends time and place and was Elvis’s favorite encore for his live shows for a reason – it’s as succinct as it is powerful and as beautiful as it is haunting. While there are a lot of covers out there, no one can touch the King.
2. “Your Song” by Elton John
“Your Song” has featured in major movies throughout the years and has withstood the test of time, but it’s also a beautiful way to begin your married life while you sway in each other’s arms. When Sir Elton John sings, and you can tell everybody – this is your song, you believe him.
3. “Can’t Take My Eyes off You” by Andy Williams
When you go with a classic like “Can’t Take My Eyes off You”, you can count on everyone from the grandparents in attendance to your youngest guests not only knowing it but also appreciating its beauty and sentiment. This love note in the form of a song is an undeniably strong start.
4. “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” by Natalie Cole
When you start with “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)”, sung by the soulful Natalie Cole, you kick things off with an upbeat toe-tapper without heading directly to the dance hits. This is a happy choice that sets a cheerful tone.
5. “Is This Love” by Bob Marley
“Is This Love” by Bob Marley is an easy choice that’s sure to resonate with every guest in attendance – from the youngest to the most mature. It’s hard not to groove to the reggae legend’s sweet message and smooth sound.
6. “You Make My Dreams (Come True)” by Daryl Hall & John Oates
Hall and Oates are crowd pleasers, and “You Make My Dreams (Come True)” not only makes dancing fun but also makes it next to impossible not to sing along. Expect audience participation.
7. “Everything” by Michael Bublé
It’s hard not to fall for the dulcet voice of Michael Bublé, and “Everything” says it all – perfectly. If you’re looking for a modern classic, this one’s hard to beat.
