Many Great Options for a Last Song
Take a classic and upbeat approach with a song like the timeless “Shout” or super-dancy “I Will Survive.” Try a classic track like Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get it On” or get your guests singing along to Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline.” Go out with a bang with a massive 80s anthem, like “Your Love” by the Outfield, “Don’t Stop Believing,” or “Take Me Home Tonight.” You might consider heading toward The Darkness with crowd favorite “I Believe in a Thing Called Love” or shatter all expectations with the amazing “S.O.B.” written by Nathaniel Rateliff. Whatever approach you take, your band should be excited when you request a special last dance song to end the night with a bang!
Get a Little Wild!
Don’t be shy! It is your night, so don’t hold back if you want to hop on stage. No pressure of course, but your band should be really excited if you decide to grab a tambourine, hop behind a mic, and get loco. Some of the best photos from receptions are when brides and/or grooms jump on stage for a moment. The energy in the room is sure to go to an eleven and we aren’t talking Stranger Things.
Your band will certainly be able to choose an exceptional last song for your evening if you can’t pin one down as they are professionals at reading rooms. If you choose your last dance song, make it a great one make it something to look forward to, push the limits, and have fun with it!
