An iconic Disney song from Beauty and the Beast, we think this classic track would make beautiful pre-ceremony or processional music.

French for “Waltz of Love,” this piece from Cinderella is perfect for couples with a similar story. 

If you met by chance and came from different worlds, you may resonate with how this song represents your love for your partner, plus who doesn’t love a good ol’ piece of Disney instrumental music?

We think this would make a beautiful and passionate first dance choice.

“Ma Belle Evangeline”

The Princess and the Frog is a classic tale, but this song comes from the 2009 movie. With heartfelt romantic lyrics, this tune is a first dance front-runner!

It’s a fantastic song to use to show your love for each other during your first dance.

“Unforgettable”

Lyrics you’ll love: “Unforgettable/That’s what you are/Unforgettable/Though near or far”

The aptly named “Unforgettable” comes from Disney’s hit film Finding Dory.

It has a nostalgic and classic feel that we think makes it totally “sway-worthy!”
