Our Favorite First Dance Songs (With a Twist)
Your first dance sets the tone for your entire celebration. It’s intimate, emotional, and unforgettable — and we believe it should reflect you.
At TI Fusion Band, we don’t just play music — we create moments. One of our favorite ways to personalize a first dance? Starting with a slow, acoustic version of your song, then building it up to the original beat and inviting all your guests to join the party.
We’ve done this dozens of ways — and every single time, it brings down the house.
Here are some of our favorite first dance songs (you can find all of these and more in our Spotify playlist here):
