It’s your first time in the spotlight as husband and wife, with all eyes on you. So you want to pick the perfect song. Some couples choose a sentimental tune that means something to the two of them, some choose a popular wedding song (such as Etta James’s “At Last”), and some make a choice based on nothing other than liking the beat!We spoke to Jason Jani of SCE Event Group to get his take on this all-important musical decision. He’s hosted thousands of weddings and events in New Jersey and throughout the world, and loves to work with his couples to find their perfect first-dance song. Rather than play the version you hear popularly played on the radio, he often suggests to switch it up and go with an acoustic version or something that isn’t quite as expected.Jason Jani of SCE Event GroupHere he shares with us his favorite slow first-dance songs. He even put them in a Spotify playlist so you can sample to see if any resonate with you.
