How to Choose the Perfect First Dance Song

Your first dance is one of the most memorable moments of your wedding day. As experienced Kansas City, St. Louis, and Columbia wedding DJs, we’ve seen couples choose everything from timeless classics to unique, modern tracks. Here’s our guide to finding the perfect first dance song for your big day

Think About Your Love Story

Your first dance should reflect your journey. Consider songs that:

• Remind you of when you met

• Reflect your style as a couple

• Capture the mood you want (romantic, fun, upbeat)

Don’t Be Afraid of the Unexpected

Classic choices like At Last or Can’t Help Falling in Love are beautiful, but don’t be afraid to pick something modern or even upbeat. We’ve seen couples surprise guests with choreographed dances to fun tracks — and it was unforgettable.

Consider Danceability

Some songs sound beautiful but are tricky to dance to. We’ll help you pick a track that feels natural for your first steps together.
