Last dance songs are the ones that end your wedding reception on a high. Grandparents might have sloped off to bed early, but for the majority of your wedding guests, this is their final chance to do their thing on the dance floor, celebrate the best day ever with you and give the newlyweds a perfect send-off.

Always get your DJ (or band, or whoever’s running your playlist) to announce that it’s the last song so everyone gets to the dance floor.

How to Choose Your Last Dance Song

There are two main choices for last dance wedding songs. 1) An upbeat track that everyone will sing along to and dance like a loon – Mr Brightside is the perfect example. 2) A romantic slow dance to end your wedding on a tender note, e.g. Etta James’ At Last. Both are equally great. Personally, we like doing both!
