Since their debut in 2007, Lady A (formerly Lady Antebellum) has redefined the “Super Group” in country music. Known for their lush harmonies and polished production, they specialize in songs that capture the nuance of romance—from the early “butterfly” stages to the deep, weathered commitment of a lifelong partnership. For couples who want a country sound that feels sophisticated and melodic, Lady A’s catalog is an essential resource. Their music doesn’t just play; it creates an atmosphere of warmth and shared connection.

As a wedding DJ, I consider Lady A the masters of the “Mid-Tempo Magic.” In 2026, the trend is “Refined Country” – couples want the storytelling of Nashville but with a sound that is elegant enough for a black-tie ballroom. These tracks are curated for their vocal excellence and their ability to elevate any wedding moment.

Planning Your Lady A Moments

Lady A’s versatility makes them a favorite for both formal ceremonies and lively receptions. Consider these 2026 expert DJ tips:

The “Stylish” Grand Entrance: “You Look Good” is my top pick for a reception entrance. With its brassy, soulful energy and lyrics that celebrate your partner’s look, it sets a confident, celebratory tone from the second you walk in.
The “Classic” First Dance: While “Need You Now” is their most famous track, it’s more of a “late-night longing” song. For a first dance, I highly recommend “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” or “Falling For You.” Both offer that perfect slow-dance tempo with lyrics focused on pure adoration.
The “Sweetest” Cake Cutting: Because nothing is sweeter than summertime, “American Honey” is the quintessential choice for the cake cutting. Its “feel-good” vibe always brings a smile to guests’ faces during this tradition.
The “Parental” Dedication: “Never Alone” (with Jim Brickman) or “Dancin’ Away With My Heart” are stunning options for a Father-Daughter or Mother-Son dance. They capture the sentiment of letting go while promising that love will always follow.
The “Atmospheric” Cocktail Hour: For a relaxed, sing-along vibe during cocktails, add “Downtown” and “Bartender” to your playlist. They are recognizable, upbeat, and keep the energy light as guests mingle.
The “Epic” Last Dance: To close out the night, “We Owned The Night” is a spectacular choice. It’s an anthem about making the world stand still for just one moment—exactly how you want your wedding night to feel.

Lady A Wedding Songs List

You Look Good

Out of all the songs on this list, we love this upbeat song for an entrance song.

Whole room gets to spinnin’ from the second that you walk in
And baby you look good all day, all night

Bartender

If you having a cocktail hour, consider adding this song to your playlist.

Hey bartender pour ‘em hot tonight
‘Til the party and the music and the truth collide

I Did With You

Could be a perfect love song as a first dance or accent other wedding events such as the recessional.

I never knew I never loved timeless and true
Oh, I did, yeah I did with you

If you are looking for a mid-tempo first dance song, this may just be your pick!

Just as long as you’re right next to me

Downtown

I love this song as a perfect background song that guests will sing along with.

I don’t know why you don’t take me downtown
Like you got anywhere better to be

Dancin’ Away With My Heart
Released in 2011 on the album Own the Night

It could be a great first dance song!

And I can still feel my head on your shoulder
Hoping that song would never be over

However, “Dancin’ Away With My Heart” could also be a parent dance song.

For me you’ll always be eighteen
And beautiful and dancing away with my heart

Just A Kiss

I love this song for a special kiss during dinner or during the cake cutting.

Just a shot in the dark that you just might
Be the one I’ve been waiting for my whole life

We Owned The Night
Released in 2011 on the album Own the Night

Love the words to this song and a great way to end the night as an exit song or last dance song.

And for a moment
You made the world stand still
Yeah we owned the night

Lady A in 2019 at the Palms Casino Resort’s Pearl Concert Theater

Need You Now
Released in 2010 on the album Need You Now

Well, this is kind of a booty call song but an enormously popular slow dance song. Up to you where you want to incorporate it.

And I don’t know how I can do without, I just need you now
I just need you now

Our Kind Of Love

A mid-tempo love song to accent the recessional or many reception events.

Always holding hands, never making plans
Just living in the moment, babe

American Honey

A personal favorite on the list. Just a feel-good American song. Since honey is sweet, the song makes for a great cake-cutting song.

Oh nothing’s sweeter than summertime
And American honey

I Run To You
Released in 2008 on the album Lady Antebellum

A mid-tempo song that would be a bit corny but funny too as a processional wedding song.

And when it all starts coming undone
Baby you’re the only one I run to

Can’t Take My Eyes Off You
Released in 2008 on the album Lady Antebellum

A perfect slow dance love song for a first dance.

This feelin’ I’m feelin’ is somethin’ I’ve never known
And I just can’t take my eyes off you

Lookin’ For A Good Time
Released in 2008 on the album Lady Antebellum

A mid-tempo song is great for a country dance song at your reception or a cocktail hour song. Makes for a great honeymoon song too.

We make a promise
To not promise anything more than one night
Complicated situations
Only get worse in the morning light
Hey I’m just lookin’ for a good time

Never Alone (with Jim Brickman)
Released in 2006 on the album Escape

A perfect slow dance song that could be your first dance song or accent a wedding event. Never Alone could even be a great parent dance song.
