    We are using "The One" by Kodaline. Its not a well known artist, but was actually written as a first dance song. A popular modern one is Ed Sheeran's "Perfect" - I know a few couples using this one.

    Mine is "Jenny's Song" by We The Kings (not a well-known band).
    "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran

    "See The Light" from Tangled if you're into Disney

    "Say You Won't Let Go" by Boyce Avenue (another not well-known band)

    Both the last and first song are very soft acoustic alternative songs.

    This was our original choice. Love love love that song ❤️

    We’ve really gone out on a limb now, our first dance is to Tightrope by Michelle Williams (from The Greatest Showman)

    I’m leaning towards “Lights Down Low” by MAX. It’s a lovely song and he actually used it to propose to his girlfriend, and I thought that was sweet. It’s really easy to dance to!

    I mean as far as modern first dance songs go, anything Ed Sheeran sings is popular with brides right now. Haha. "All of me" by John legend. "I'm yours" Jason Mraz.

    Depends...are you wanting to just sway back and forth or do an actual dance (ie: waltz?)
    My FH and I are doing our first dance to If I Ain't Got You by Alicia Keys because it is in waltz time and I realllllly wanted to do a waltz and it was the only one he liked the lyrics on (he didn't want just instrumental music)

    We are using Truly, Madly, Deeply by Savage Garden. Idk what is considered "modern" though...
    Considered using Marry Me by Bruno Mars, All of Me by John Legend or an Ed Sheeran song that I can't remember the name of right now LOL
