We have a variety of songs we perform, however we always ask the Bride & Groom what song they would like performed & if we dont have it in our repertoire we will learmn it. Here are a few songs we have performed recently.
All Of Me, More Than Words, Angels bought us here, You'll never find another love like mine, Stumblin In.
Perfect by Ed Sherran just stands out

Some of our favourites we have had -

These are the first dance songs that we recommend on our song recommendation document :)
1. Perfect- Ed Sheeran
2. Your Song- Elton John
3. At Last- Etta James
4. All Of Me- John Legend
5. Make You Feel My Love- Adele
6. Everything- Michael Buble
7. Thinking Out Loud- Ed Sheeran
8. A Thousand Years- Christina Perri
9. Feels Like Home- Chantal Kreviazuk
10. I Get To Love You- Ruelle
As an instrumentalist my list might vary from singing performers, however some favourites include:
- You are my sunshine
- Can't help falling in love with you
- Love me like you do
- A thousand years
- I see the light (from Tangled)
- Stand by me
- Thinking out loud
- Your Song
- Love Story
Of course this choice is completely up to you! If you have a song which is meaningful to you as a couple then that would also be a great choice.
Hi,
As a DJ, each wedding I do, couples select their own song, there are not too many double ups.
Some of the ones that have been requested are:
Feels Like Home - Chantal Kreviazuk
This I promise you - Ronan Keating
Unforgettable - Nat "King" Cole
Holding You - Stan Walker & Ginny Blackmore
Perfect - Ed Sheeran (also a version with Beyonce)
I Won't Give up - Jason Mraz
Angels - Robbie Williams
Shallow - Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper
I would recommend a song that has some special meaning for you both and conveys the message you want for each other.
Regards
David (Southern Vibes DJ)

To build a home - Cinematic Orchestra
Saviing all my love for you - Whitney Houston

- Beyond - Leon Bridges
- Two of Us - Birds of Toyko
- Wild Love - James Bay (Acoustic)
- Consider Me - Allen Stone
- How Would you Feel (Paean) - Ed Sheeran
- More Than Words - Extreme

Another question to ask is: Is the song easy to dance to?
Here a few romantic ballad songs which are commonly used for first dances:
