But maybe you think rock isn’t a suitable genre for a first dance song? Well, you’d be wrong! There are some beautifully romantic rock songs that fit the bill perfectly. Legendary artists like Bon Jovi, the Foo Fighters and Guns N’ Roses have written some of the most passionate love ballads on the planet and we’ve collated them into a list of rock first dance songs to help you find the perfect accompaniment to your special moment.

Swing Time Trio were a triumph at Charlotte & James' wedding! There's nothing more suave than a jazz and swing trio... 🎶🎷"The Swing Time Trio did a fantastic performance at our wedding reception. Their music is fun, lighthearted and very enjoyable. We have had lots of great feedback from guests since the wedding who loved the music and said it was the perfect vibe for such a happy occasion. The Swing Time Trio were very organised in the lead up to the wedding and professional throughout. It was super easy to coordinate logistics, timings etc and they made the whole process very easy. They were dressed very smartly and fitted right in with all the wedding guests. We would highly recommend to anyone. We are looking forward to having another opportunity to hear them play again." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ... See MoreSee Less
