Mother & Son Dance Songs For Your Lancaster Wedding

Our Lancaster, PA, DJ team is dedicated to packing dance floors and being a trusted wedding and party planning resource. This is one of my blog posts to help you get the most from your event. If you find it helpful, I hope you will share it on social media and follow us on Facebook for more tips.

When putting together their Central PA wedding reception playlist, the most frequently asked question from our Harrisburg, Lancaster, York area brides and grooms is the Mother-Son Dance. Some find it challenging to plan this wedding reception dance.

Grooms recognize the special bond they share with their moms. Whether it is their biological mom, stepmom, grandmother, or mother-like figure, most realize how special this relationship is and want to honor it on their wedding day. A heartfelt mother-son dance song at your wedding reception is a great way to express that.

So, suppose you envision yourself on the dance floor of Linwood Estate, Lily Manor, Lauxmont Farms, or any of the fantastic venues. In that case, we are fortunate to have you in our area and need help finding that particular mother-son wedding song that expresses how you feel.   Here are a few of our favorites and the messages they contain.

"Forever Young" by Rod Stewart

I have always been a Bob Dylan fan, but I admit that his songwriting ability far exceeds his vocal ability. This is a fantastic cover by Rod Stewart, who has done a lot of covers of Big Band artists as well. The message of this song is a wish for a beautiful life that gives you all the things you want spiritually while your soul stays “Forever Young.” Every mom can relate to this message.

 As for the Rod Stewart “Big Band” covers I mentioned? They are great options for both Cocktail and Dinner hours!

"Days Like This" by Van Morrison

Staying in the rock genre, this Van Morrison song is a no-brainer for any classic rock fan. “Well, My Mama Told Me There’ll Be Days Like This” is the constant refrain about how his mother told him that he would experience days where he wouldn’t worry, and that day would be perfect!

Can you imagine a perfect day to play this song than your wedding day?

“You’ll Be In My Heart” by Phil Collins

What do you get when you combine a fantastic vocalist, composer, and songwriter? You get one of the more popular mother-son wedding dance songs! Add them to a Disney Movie soundtrack?

This song expresses that mom is here to love and protect you physically and spiritually as you grow and move ahead with your own life. No matter where you are, “You’ll be in my heart…always!”

Too often, being famous can mean being overhyped and not worthy. This song is the opposite of that! This message about a mother's unconditional love is universal, and it just may be us who are not worthy of this fantastic tune.

"A Song for Mama" by Boyz II Men

This heartwarming Boyz II Men tune from the '90s expresses how Mom made him the man he is today and gave him the love and security he needed for that to happen.

“And no one else can be what you have been to me

You always will be the girl in my life for all times.”

“My Wish” by Rascal Flatts

Is there anyone who doesn’t know this song? This song expresses every mother’s wish for their child.

“May your dreams stay big

Your worries be small

You never have to carry

More than you can haul.”

We all want that for everyone we love and care about. Who cares about you like your mother?

"You Are the Sunshine of My Life" by Stevie Wonder

Looking for something sentimental but more upbeat? This Stevie Wonder classic may be just what you are looking for! Not only does this song have a completely different feel with Stevie on the keyboard and the horn section, but it also clocks in at less than three minutes, which is perfect in terms of time.
