We have a great mix of popular first dance songs in the Charleston area, as well as newly released songs that are soon to be heard at a wedding near you! Our Charleston DJs have compiled a playlist of these first dance songs for you to review to help make your selection for your wedding day.
Classic First Dance Songs
These songs are staples in the low country area for a couple’s first dance. You can’t go wrong with classics from everlasting artists like Eric Clapton and Etta James. We’ve also included staple romantic songs from the soulful John Legend and Adele. Beware as these songs may cause you to tear up or want to be embraced by a loved one. You’ve most likely heard them at weddings before, and you’ll probably hear them again.
