Music gets people to the dance floor, it connects people in a moment, and it makes us feel all the feels. What song do you love to hear at a wedding?

Your union is a joyful event, so be sure to play lots of upbeat wedding songs to add to that happy mood. Here are a few of our favorites.

My husband and I chose The Promise by Tracy Chapman as our first dance song. Nearly 24 years later and this song takes me right back to that beautiful day, surrounded by our family and friends.

What was or will be your first dance song?

Let us help you take some of the stress out of figuring out how to pick a first dance song, so you can focus on the fun.

I really enjoyed meeting Courtney and Thad, what a sweet couple! Never married, they've been friends for 20 years and recently looked at one another differently, realizing they were in love. I had the joy of officiating as they eloped at beautiful Sequiota Park this week. Cheers to a happy, long life together!

I have had the joy of officiating for loved ones several times in the last 19 years. The reason I'm ordained is because of dear friends who are framily (friend family). While every wedding is special, the ones for people who are dear to me are the most special. This weekend, I had the honor of officiating as my oldest son married his love. It was a small, sweet elopement with heartfelt, personally written vows and an abundance of smiles and joyful laughter. There aren't words to fully describe the fullness my heart felt as I stood with them on their wedding day. I wish Fin and Rielle a lifetime of happines, love, and great adventures together. This is one of my favorite shots, which captures the lightness they share.
