What are the best songs for a private last dance?
The private last dance is just for the newlyweds following the last dance. The DJ or entertainment clears the room except for the photographer and the wedding couple. This creates some dramatic pictures and a chance to cap off the night.

Quick Tips
When picking out the song for your private last dance, you must consider the following 3 factors:
1. Do you want a fun moment with your new spouse or a loving slow song?
2. Does the song hold a special meaning in your relationship?
3. Do you really want to do it? If you are the partying type, it may not be advised.
