Before your guests let their hair down on the dance floor, it's your time to shine with your first dance! If you're thinking of opting for something a little slower-paced to tug at your loved one's heart strings, you'll want to check out these beautifully romantic options from Entertainment Nation!
Acoustic folk songs are a popular choice when it comes to weddings, and it’s easy to see why. With their dreamy chords and heartfelt lyrics, they are a perfect choice for your first dance as a married couple. What makes these songs even more perfect for a first dance is how easily an accomplished acoustic singer-guitarist or an acoustic wedding band can deliver a breathtaking live rendition to sweep you off your feet.
We know these songs will create a special moment for you and your partner on your big day, leaving no dry eyes in the house. They have been tried and tested by our amazing musicians who have seen first-hand how effective they are, so you can rest assured knowing your first dance will be truly magical if you pick a song from our list (also, being chilled and romantic, these songs are great as wedding processional songs for your ceremony).

Our bands love to perform these songs for first dances due to the romantic and dreamy atmosphere they create. Acoustic folk songs radiate a sense of love and emotion, making them a perfect choice for your first dance as a married couple, creating a moment that you and your loved ones will remember forever.
Acoustic wedding musicians perform using beautiful and vibrant instruments like the double bass, acoustic guitar, banjo, cajon and drums, creating a rich, full sound that forms a fun yet elegant background to your wedding reception. Alternatively, having an authentic acoustic guitarist or acoustic duo perform your first dance will be just as effective, with their stunning sound and radiant vocals making them ideally suited to the task.
Whatever the line-up, acoustic acts work particularly well if you’re are a big Mumford & Sons fan, if you’re hosting a festival styled wedding reception or if you’re following an authentic rustic theme for your special day. Guaranteed to create a romantic atmosphere and be performed with passion and emotion, your first dance will be unforgettable when it’s performed by a breath-taking live musician.
