There are few parts of the wedding day as emotionally charged as your first dance, parent dances, or those special moments when the music takes over and everyone stops to watch.

Special Dances Frequently Asked Questions


What songs are best for our first dance?
Your first dance should feel personal, think about songs that mean something to you as a couple. Popular choices include romantic ballads, acoustic covers, or indie love songs. Each of our blog posts features a curated Spotify playlist to help you choose.


What songs should we use for parent dances?
Father-daughter and mother-son dances are special moments, so pick songs with lyrics that feel heartfelt. You’ll find timeless classics and modern options in our curated playlists, perfect for weddings in Oshkosh, Appleton, Green Bay, and throughout Northeast Wisconsin.


Can we customize these Spotify playlists?
Absolutely! Use our playlists as a starting point — then add or remove songs to fit your vibe. We recommend downloading your final playlist offline or sharing it with your DJ to keep your special dances smooth.


How long should a special dance song be?
Most first dances and parent dances last 2–4 minutes. Many couples even ask the DJ to fade the song out early if they want to keep it short and sweet. Our playlists include songs of various lengths to give you options.
