You’ve waited for this day for a long time. You’ve met the person that you’re going to the spend the rest of your life with, got all your loved ones together to celebrate your special day and hired the best Toronto DJ to spin your favourite tunes at your wedding. We’re talking about your first dance! Once you’ve finally booked your Toronto wedding DJ and had a consultation with them they’re going to ask you what your first song is going to be. You’ll probably mull it over with your partner: is it the first song you ever danced to? What about the song you both enjoy on long car rides. Whatever you answer may be, here are some classic wedding songs that you can’t go wrong picking. It’s a romantic moment during your reception, and you’ll want a song that can reflect that.
1. Elvis Presley- Can’t Help Falling in Love
“Wise men say only fools rush in but I can’t help falling in love with you.” This romantic song is adored by generations because of the lyrics, the slow melody and the twinkling sounds. You’ll have friends and family singing along to this classic wedding tune.
2. Nat King Cole- L.O.V.E
“Two in love can make it, take my heart and please don’t break it. Love was made for me and you.” This classic jazz song from 1965 is a favourite of Hollywood, because chances are you’ve heard it in a Romantic Comedy. It’s a catchy tune that’ll make you smile on the dancefloor.
3. Edith Piaf- La Vie En Rose
“Quand il me prend dans ses bras, qu’il me parle tout bas, je vois la vie en rose.” If you’re a Francophile, and love everything French, this song is one for you. Released in the 1940’s this song is still one of the most beautiful and memorable songs a couple can dance to.
4. At Last- Etta James
“At last, my love has come along, my lonely days are over, and life is like a song.” Not only is this a romantic slow song, but a little sultry too that will make you feel thankful that you finally found the person you want to spend the rest of your days with.
Here are some great examples of classic first dance songs you can sway to with your new husband or wife. Don’t feel shy asking your DJ what their thoughts on first songs for your reception. As professional entertainers, they can help you pick a song that reflects the theme of your party or the mood you’re looking to set. We’re looking forward to working with you to make your wedding night the most memorable night of your life.
