Wedding First Dance Songs
The first dance at a wedding is a very special moment for the couple, shared with their closest friends and family. Over the years I’ve played a huge number of different songs at the 2,000+ weddings that I’ve performed at, and seen a huge variation in the way the couples have danced to the songs as well, but I’ll leave that for another post.
Recently a few brides-to-be have asked about some of the songs that have been requested for the first dance by previous couples, and so below is a list of some of the songs that have been asked for over the last few years.
