As we sway to the rhythm of Michael Bublé’s Everything, and I softly sing along—And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times, It’s you, it’s you, you make me sing… one thought crosses my mind: I made the right choice. Both with the music and with my groom. 🙂
After all the stressful moments of planning a wedding, I can finally say: We did it. And now, we dance, just the two of us, to our song. There’s no one else around—only us and this beautiful moment we will never forget.
At many luxury weddings I’ve attended, the first dance has been one of the most emotional highlights. And so much of that magic comes down to the choice of music.
Here are some of the most romantic and beautiful songs for a first dance that I would personally add to my list. They might serve as inspiration for your own dream wedding. Click on the song title to listen to it on YouTube.
1. All of Me – John Legend
A song that has undoubtedly earned its place among the evergreens. John Legend’s velvety voice and your beloved in your arms—what could be more romantic? To make it even more special, imagine this song performed by a duo cello and harp. Click here to hear it in a stunning instrumental version.
Many couples adore waltzes, and some even spend months preparing to make their first dance as elegant and graceful as possible. At luxury weddings, a beautifully choreographed waltz adds an extra touch of sophistication, making this timeless piece a perfect choice.
Music from romantic movies is often chosen for weddings—whether for the first dance or the reception. I absolutely love it when couples dance to a song from a film because it allows them to create a unique, choreographed performance. Their dance will surely be unforgettable.
One of the most popular wedding songs since the moment it was released. Although it has a slightly faster tempo than traditional first dance songs, it has found its place among romantic couples and those who want to stand out with something different. At luxury weddings, it brings a fun and modern twist to the classic first dance.
For couples planning their first dance, Die with a Smile can be a perfect choice. Its melody and emotional depth create an ideal backdrop for a moment that will be forever cherished. Moreover, the fact that this is a duet between two music icons adds an extra touch of sophistication and glamour, making it especially fitting for luxury weddings.
For those with refined taste and a love for fairytales, there’s the enchanting waltz from Cinderella. This piece is usually chosen by couples with more advanced dance skills, as it is lively and elegant. But the impression it leaves? Pure wow! This waltz transforms the first dance into a true royal moment.
For those who appreciate classic love songs, Michael Bolton’s powerful voice and heartfelt lyrics never disappoint. When a man loves a woman, can’t keep his mind on nothin’ else. He’d trade the world for a good thing he’s found, he sings—and it’s no wonder deeply in-love grooms choose this song for their first dance.
8. Stand by Me – Ben E. King
A timeless classic when it comes to first dances. Couples adore this song, and as they dance, their guests can’t help but join in and sing along. It’s the perfect opportunity to share your love with everyone present. Listen to a beautiful harp rendition of this song here.

For couples who want to turn their first dance into a performance, this legendary duet from Grease is the ultimate choice. Not only will you get your guests up on their feet, but you’ll also create a fun and unforgettable moment. At luxury weddings, adding a theatrical touch to the first dance makes the entire celebration even more unique and exciting.
