Wedding Wednesday: First Dance Songs

In our careers, we have produced a LOT of weddings. And while personal touches, locations and menus are always changing, the couples’ first dance remains a staple during the reception.  We have seen it all from elaborately choreographed routines to watching a couple stand on the dance floor and sway back and forth like 7th graders. No matter how it's done, it's always touching and always a moment to remember from the evening.  

Here are our top 5 picks for a traditional first dance songs:

1. At Last - Etta James (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADDigK8LwyE&feature=artist)
