You’ve planned every detail of your wedding except choosing one thing: your father daughter dance song. It seems like a daunting task. After all, how can you choose just one song that describes all the wonderful things about your relationship with your dad? On top of that, you want to choose something unique. Something that will bring tears to his eyes as he twirls you around the dance floor on your wedding day. The song that is not too cheesy and not overplayed.

Trust us, girl! We’ve heard them all. Some wedding seasons, we have had the same song played over six times for each father daughter dance. And while that song choice is special and perfect for them, regardless of it’s popularity, we also have brides that want something different yet meaningful. So we created our top list of Unique Father Daughter Dance Songs that will make sure your reception doesn’t have a dry eye!
