I always encourage couples to pick a song that matters to them as opposed to a song that is recommended by others. When you hear that song and think back on your big day, would you rather be smiling and thinking “this is our song” or eye rolling and thinking “how many weddings did we hear this song at?”
Below is a list of some basic types of dance commonly found at weddings and the songs styles that match. I often mix dance styles with my couples to help them create a unique routine.
