What are some LGBT wedding songs for the first dance?

Short answer

Choose a song that celebrates your love and feels true to you. Many couples pick tracks by LGBTQ+ artists or lyrics that speak to their story.

Your first dance should feel like a moment that is entirely yours. There is no rule about which songs are right for a same-sex wedding. What matters is that the words and melody mean something to you both.

Many couples start by looking at music made by LGBTQ+ artists, as the lyrics and stories often resonate deeply. Others choose a song that was important to their relationship, regardless of the singer's identity. You might pick something upbeat to get everyone on the floor, or a slow ballad for a quiet moment together.

Here are a few directions to explore:

Songs by LGBTQ+ artists that tell a story of love and resilience.
A track from a film or show that holds meaning for you.
A classic love song with lyrics that fit your relationship.
A song that was playing on a special date or trip.

If you want to keep the moment inclusive, consider choosing a song with lyrics that feel welcoming to all your guests. You can also mix two songs if one track captures different parts of your story. Whatever you choose, it will be the soundtrack to your first dance as a married couple.
