The father / daughter dance is one of the most meaningful moments at any wedding. It is a chance for a father to congratulate his daughter while, at the same time, sending her off to start a new family for herself. The song choice for this moment should be personal, if at all possible, but also not too sappy, or slow, in order to keep the attention of your guests. DJ G Events has gone through our archives of past weddings and selected some options for unknown and known father / daughter dance songs for your event!
In My Life by The Beatles
An obvious choice, but a good one. This song is appropriately short (under 3 minutes) and very recognizable for your guests. This track will make it hard to fight off happy tears dancing to this classic.
Daddy Dance With Me by Krystal Keith
Bring out the tissues! This track is poignant and absolutely lovely. With great lyrics, and a solid country backbone, this track will make your dance with your dad one to remember.
Dance With My Daughter by Jason Blaine
Yet another tear-jerker, this country influenced track by Jason Blaine is sure to hit all the right notes, without sounding too sappy or too familiar. A great, unexpected choice for this dance!
Somewhere Over The Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
Popular and maybe on the cusp of being overplayed, this track is still an awesome choice for a father / daughter dance. Let big Israel play his little uke’ and send soothing vibes out on the dance floor as your guests watch you slow dance with your dad.
My Wish by Rascal Flatts
Another popular track, this one gets the lyrics right while providing a modern / country backing track that begs guests to sing-a-long during the father / daughter dance.
