weddings celebrate families.

mega matt’s song suggestions for Parent Dances

Few wedding moments are more touching than the father-daughter dance. But finding a song that encapsulates the relationship you share with your dad can be tricky. It's not the easiest one to pick, but we're hoping that you'll be able to find the perfect one for you among our suggestions.

We often encourage brides, especially those close to their dads, to write a letter to their dad and record it with us. We edit that together with the song they choose to surprise dad with a heartfelt moment. It’s easy to do and makes a giant impact on the memory of that dance. This option is also available for sons who would like to thank their mom.

Many couples choose to have a mother-son dance to complement the father-daughter dance. Because it's not the easiest for song selection, we're here to help. We have many ideas for the song that the groom and mother-of-the-groom can dance to at the reception, so scroll through and find the one you're looking for.
