At Last by Etta James was our first dance song. Our DJ said it’s such a popular song for its history, but also it’s not too long. He also recommended cutting our mother/son and father/daughter songs down and I’m glad we did. Definitely helped get the party started sooner!
Gahhhh love all of this great information! The wedding images are amazing! Reception dance images are my favorite!❤️
Wow! What a great list of wedding songs! I’ll be sharing this with my niece and nephew who are planning their own weddings!
These are great ideas for songs! My dad was super picky for our father daughter dance, but we found a nice one by Kenny Loggins.
the daddy daughter songs are good ones! i’ve been to many weddings with some of those and it’s always so touching.
This is gold! I wish I had these song recommendations before I got married!
Love these ideas! I wish I had known this list before my wedding day. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
What an amazing post for the planning couples. Great idea! Thanks for sharing. Adding lots of these to my “love” iTunes list 🙂
