Michael Bublé First Dance Songs: Modern Class for Your Wedding
Michael Bublé is the modern-day Frank Sinatra. A true “crooner,” he specializes in the kind of soft, sentimental music that melts hearts and fills dance floors. With 4 Grammy Awards and multiple #1 hits on the Adult Contemporary charts, Bublé has become a go-to artist for couples who want their wedding to feel both classic and current.
As a wedding DJ, I always tell couples: the best wedding music is the music everyone knows. Michael Bublé’s voice is one of the most recognizable in the world, making his songs the perfect “uniting” factor for guests of all ages.
Top Michael Bublé First Dance Picks
- The Quintessential First Dance: “Everything” (2007). This #1 hit is upbeat, joyful, and carries a simple but powerful message: your partner is “every line, every word, every thing.” It’s perfect for a couple who wants a dance that feels like a celebration rather than a somber ballad.
- The Smooth Modern Classic: “Haven’t Met You Yet” (2009). While often used for grand entrances, its message of finding the right person after a long wait makes it a great upbeat first dance. It reached #1 on the US Adult Contemporary charts and remains one of his most popular tracks.
- The Timeless Cover: “The Way You Look Tonight” (2003). Originally made famous by Frank Sinatra, Bublé’s version brings a slightly more modern production while keeping the original elegance. It’s a flawless choice for a formal first dance.
- The Soulful Choice: “Crazy Love” (2009). A beautiful cover of the Van Morrison classic. Bublé’s version is particularly tender, emphasizing the “river’s song” of running to the one you love.
Expert DJ Tips for a Bublé Playlist
- The Parent-Child “Tear-Jerker”: “Forever Now” (2018) is one of the best parent-child dance songs written in the last decade. It’s a promise from a parent to always “lift you up” and be “forever proud of you.” Keep the tissues handy for this one.
- The Romantic Dinner Vibe: For a sophisticated atmosphere during dinner, mix in his covers like “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” or “Dream A Little Dream Of Me.” These tracks provide high-end “crooner” energy without being distracting.
- The Ceremony Recessional: If you want to walk back down the aisle with a smile, “It’s a Beautiful Day” (2013) is a fun, lighthearted choice that signals the start of the party.
