Top 10 Best “First Dance” Songs for Your Wedding

We asked our ZB audience what their favorite First Dance songs were.  These were their answers (the ones we received the most appear towards the end of the list).

 

10. "A Million Dreams" by P!nk

"The Greatest Showman" popular number as covered by the pop rocker herself

 

 

9. "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You?" by Van Morrison

Tender, sweet and a long-time favorite-- some may even opt for the (also amazing) Rod Stewart cover

Just the thing for your first dance together on the dance floor!  Don't believe us, just check out the lyrics!

 

 

7. "You're the Inspiration" by Chicago

Uplifting, beautiful and classic-- just the recipe for a perfect first dance!

6. "The Way She Loves Me" by Cody Johnson

For the country lovers, this is a high recommend by our Zion Brides as one for the floor!

 

 

5. "Lover" by Taylor Swift

While many of her hits used to revolve around breakups, this romantic hit has numerous Zion Brides naming this as a must-contender!

 

 

4. "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri

Proven to be a a favorite among brides as both a first dance song as well as a bride-entrance song (as an instrumental), this one has proven its salt for the big moment.

 

 

3. "All of Me" by John Legend

An amazing and popular suggestion that went almost neck and neck with #2, this number hits all the right notes (and is even better when paired with the skills of Lindsey Stirling-- the version these brides insist is the official version).

 

 

2. "Marry You" by Bruno Mars

Fun, upbeat and energetic for the faster paced dancers who want to bring out the moves for the big dance, this ranked just under the #1 pick!

1. "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran

Given a shout out the most times (both the Ed Sheeran solo and his duet with Beyoncé), this may be a regular in the First Dance category and for a good reason-- the romantic vibe and lyrics set the perfect mood for the First Dance for two young sweethearts.
