Last dance songs are the ones that end your wedding reception on a high. For the majority of your wedding guests, this is their final chance to shake their stuff on the dance floor, celebrate a truly awesome day and give you the 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.
There are two main choices for last dance tracks 1) An upbeat party song 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, think. 'All Of Me' By John Legend. Both are equally great.
If you want a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that all your guests will know the words to, pick a 70s/80s/90s tune like something from ABBA, Journey or Queen. If you want to go modern, make sure it’s not too obscure. Adele or Ed Sheeran are great, but David Guetta's new track might have passed your older guests by.
Maybe you had 2 choices for the first dance? Perfect time to get that other track on the playlist but right at the very end of the evening! To be absolutely honest the last track is totally down to you. So pick whatever it is you want. I have DJed at over 46 weddings this year and at every single one the remaining guests have always danced to the last song regardless of what it is!
