21 Modern First Dance Songs

Bridal couples can select classic love songs like Etta James’ At Last for their first dance as a married couple.  However, not everyone is usually aware of great current songs that can be played as first dance songs.  Even we don’t like to list EVERY song in our list of first dance songs.

Below we list 21 modern first dance songs.  Fast tempo does not stop a song from being on our list.  A love song is a love song no matter the speed of the beat.
