First Dance Songs for 2026 and 2027 Weddings: Valerie's Curated List

If you're dreaming of that magical first dance moment at The Commons 1854, finding the right song can turn your wedding into a truly unforgettable experience on the North Shore.

With nearly 29 years of creating beautiful celebrations, our venue offers in-house catering and the rare luxury of hosting just one wedding per day so every couple feels completely special.

For classic romance that never goes out of style, I always recommend starting with Etta James' At Last, Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling in Love, or Frank Sinatra's The Way You Look Tonight to sweep your guests away in pure elegance.

These timeless picks pair beautifully with the intimate atmosphere here at our 200-guest capacity venue where couples can truly savor every second of their first dance.

Moving into modern love songs, All of Me by John Legend and Thinking Out Loud from Ed Sheeran remain favorites, while trending tracks like Adele's slow version of Someone Like You and Taylor Swift's Lover are lighting up TikTok and Spotify playlists for weddings right now.

I also love suggesting Calum Scott's You Are The Reason, Lewis Capaldi's Someone You Loved, and the heartfelt Speechless by Dan and Shay for couples who want emotional depth that feels fresh and personal.

For an unexpected twist that still feels joyful, consider the John Legend and Saweetie All of Me remix or even Can I Have This Dance from High School Musical if you and your partner share a fun-loving energy.

Our WeddingWire award-winning space on the North Shore creates the perfect backdrop for these unique choices, letting your personality shine through every lyric.

Whether you lean toward classic romance, modern love songs, unexpected and fun vibes, or movie soundtrack picks, the key is selecting something that tells your story and feels right in the moment.
