Wedding Songs 2023

Your Wedding First Dance song can either jump at you as being the obvious choice - it's "your song", it was playing in the background at your first date or when you first kissed - or it can be as elusive as Waldo.

If you are in the first category, you are lucky! If you are in the second category you are in the right place.

We have compiled a list of 60 songs to help you find inspiration. Some of them you will have heard 100 times but others are less known.

But before you have a look at this list, keep in mind that this is an important choice, don't pick any song for the sake of it!

Another thing worth remembering is that you will dance on that song so make sure you are comfortable with the tempo and the rhythm of the music.

Very slow music is difficult to dance on. You will feel exposed, like sitting ducks on the dance floor and nowhere to hide.

Fast music can make your dance look more hectic than romantic!

So before you settle on a song, it's a good idea to try to dance it and see how it feels. If you are not sure how to go about that try this.

Can You Dance on Your Song?

If you are not sure how "danceable" your song is, try this exercise:

Download a free metronome app on your phone (I use Metronome Beats but they are all the same)
In that app, set the to the BPM. You will find the BPM here.
Set your metronome to the correct BPM.
Press play and listen to the bip bip for a few seconds then start stepping (see video for step) on that beat. Once you have done that for a few minutes, play the song and do same...
