💃Choose your first dance song with a fun poll
The first dance song is one of those decisions that feels huge in the moment. Instead of arguing for weeks, drop a shortlist into a moomz poll and let the people you love tap their favorite. You'll have your answer before the playlist even loads.

Why this poll works
First dance songs trigger memories and emotions. People vote with their gut, and the most-loved song usually wins by a clear margin. Anonymous voting means your mom won't lobby for her favorite and your best friend won't troll you with a joke pick.
Tips
- ✦Pre-listen to each option as a couple so the shortlist already feels right
- ✦Include one wildcard song to spark conversation in the group chat
- ✦Cap the poll at 5 songs — more makes voters scroll instead of decide
- ✦Share with your wedding party first, then expand if you want broader input
- ✦Close the poll a week before the DJ briefing so you have time to rehearse

Frequently asked
Should the song be one we both love or one with personal meaning?+
Personal meaning beats popularity every time. If a song reminds you of your first date or road trip together, it'll feel more real than a top-charts pick. Use the poll to validate, not decide for you.
How long should the first dance song be?+
Three to four minutes feels right. Anything longer and guests get restless. Most DJs can edit a longer song down to a clean 3:30 — ask in advance.
Can I include a song nobody knows?+
Absolutely. The first dance is about the couple, not the crowd. Just be ready for it to lose the poll — that's fine. Pick it anyway if it's the one.
What if our families have strong song opinions?+
Run the poll in your couple chat first, lock the song, then announce. Polling family for the first dance is asking for drama you don't need.
