Song suggestions for formal dances

Bride/Groom: Some married couples choose their formal dance song based on a mutual favorite that they have attached special meaning to; in other words, it is "their" song. It can be the theme song to a favorite movie, something that was given a lot of radio play when they first met or quite often a song that has just the right words that they can clearly relate to. Others rely on the suggestions of friends who may have used a particular track for their own reception. But what about those remaining who are just not as into music or have no idea where to even start? Well, we are here to help. This list is a compilation of songs from various sources including hundreds of receptions that we have performed.

Groom/Mother: Though the Bride & Father dance is traditionally the most acknowledged, we have been getting more frequent requests for a Groom and mother dance as well. This is a wise move for the guys out there! An elegant dance is a great way for the Groom to acknowledge the special relationship between he and mom outside of the obvious toasts to the parents.
