The first dance at any wedding is always a highly anticipated event.
Are you going to unveil a sequence of dance moves worthy of some high score cards on Strictly? Or are you wanting to just keep things simple, inviting the guests to join you as the second verse begins?
Classic, contemporary, or something a bit different, here's a run down of the top 10 favourite first dance songs we've had the pleasure of performing.
Some may just surprise you....
No.10
Let's Stick Together - Bryan Ferry
An absolutely classic record that is often overlooked, especially for a first dance. It got the dance-floor filled in no-time. No white suits were harmed in the performance of this song.
No.9
Love Is In The Air - John Paul Young
An oldie but a goodie. Dust off those over-sized cuffs and outrageous flares for what many would consider to be a more traditional first dance.
No.8
Accidentally In Love - Counting Crows
Never dismiss a Dreamworks classic! So much fun to play that we too surrendered to the lyrics about strawberry ice cream.
No.7
Happy - Pharrell Williams
The song that no one could get away from back in 2013. Wow...how was that 7 years ago?! We took inspiration from the live version and rocked it up. Minion gif anyone?
No.6
Paradise - George Ezra
Next, we're lowering those vocal cords and heading on over to Tamara's for a bit of George Ezra. We performed this one especially for Alison back in September 2018 . Has stayed in our set list ever since.
No.5
Wherever You Will Go - The Calling
Keeping the vocals husky but adding in some hair straighteners, now we're looking at everybody's favourite naughties pop-rock tune Wherever You Will Go. Tom (our drummer) had to hold back the tears as the marquee curtain parted during the intro.
No.4
Love Is Easy - McFly
The band that Busted wanted to be. This delightful little number was fun as Andy and Nick shared lead vocals...just like Danny and Tom "do-do-do-do-do-do".
No.3
You Make My Dreams Come True - Hall & Oates
Nightmares of my Dad's moustache that managed to survive way too far into the 90's had long been overcome by the time it came for us to perform this absolute banger from Hall & Oats. Another one that is now a staple of our set list.
No.2
Perfect - Ed Sheeran
Ironically sitting at number 2 is Ed Sheeran's Perfect. We can't deny that this 2017 smash hit isn't far off from being the, *ahem*, perfect first dance song. In fact, it probably is. However, it will never have the surprise rock and roll factor of our No.1 choice...
No.1
Everlong - Foo Fighters
That's right! It's Everlong by the Foo Fighters. Tareq and Lou chose this as the song to kick off their wedding back in March 2018. It was clearly a song that meant so much not only to them but also their friends and family who swung straight into action.
And for that reason, we just had to make it our No.1.
