First Dance Songs at Weddings – “At Last”

The right music will set the right mood at your wedding, and that mood is sure to show up in your wedding photos. We’ve covered classic crooner Frank Sinatra, contemporary crooner Michael BublĂ©, and the sunny new star Colbie Caillat as possibilities for your first dance possibilities, but now we turn to this particular wedding standard.

This song has been covered by everyone from Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, and B. B. King to Diana Krall, Christina Aguilera, and Beyonce Knowles. However, the version that everyone probably knows best is the one by Etta James released back in 1961. Its wonderful, dreamy strings are accompanied by poetic lyrics about finding your true love. It’s really no wonder that so many people have shared their first dance as a married couple to this particular tune.

Sample: “At Last” by Etta James from At Last!
