Best Indie Rock Wedding Songs – Your First Dance

  |   Wedding Music Ideas

Best Indie Rock Wedding Songs 2020: Looking for something unique for your first dance at your wedding? Are you more of an Indie Rock fan v. Top 40 Pop fan? We’ve put together a Spotify playlist with some of the most popular Indie Rock wedding songs. Creating a unique wedding sometimes requires a non-traditional wedding DJ, If you are not into cliche wedding songs at your reception, it’s time to do some research and figure out just what is the style and feel you want at your wedding.

We always say that you can put 6 different wedding DJs in front of the same crowd, in the same room and with the same music library and get a completely different vibe to your wedding. It’s not about the gear – it’s how your wedding DJ can morph into what is needed for both you, your guests and in keeping with your music style. Will they get everyone up on the dance floor or will they scare everyone away? Or will it feel like YOUR WEDDING and not like every other wedding that has gone before?

It’s important to pick music for your wedding that reflects your personalities. Picking a song off of a list on The Knot because they are the top wedding song just may not feel right to the two of you. Be unique – find something that resonates with the two of you. Maybe it’s off of the list below or maybe it gives you an idea of something else. Either way – have fun checking out our Indie Rock wedding songs below.
