Best Father-Daughter Dance Songs
The father-daughter dance is a time-honoured tradition, one that is an essential part of the wedding reception. I always found this dance to be a very special one for any wedding I’ve attended. It represents a woman leaving her father’s home and starting a new home with her husband. Finding the right song for the father-daughter dance might take a little time. There’s definitely more options for the first dance as bride and groom. When you think about choosing a song for the father-daughter dance, you’ll need to consider what kind of song you’d like for the occasion. Are you looking for something upbeat or would you prefer a slower song that’s more sentimental? If you go the sentimental route, you’ll want to make sure your song provides the right sentiment without it sounding sexual. Would you want something a bit more modern or do you think a classic song might be best for your wedding? Here are a few of my favourites, a mix of classics and some modern songs as well:
- Stevie Wonder – Isn’t she lovely
- Natalie Grant – Always be your baby
- Luther Vandross – Dance with my Father
- Chrisette Michele – Your Joy (double check this one)
- Adele – Make you feel my love

- Christina Aguilera – I turn to You
