100 Heartfelt LGBTQ+ Love Songs for Your Wedding

You deserve a romantic song that reflects the love you share with your partner at your wedding! 💖

For gender-neutral & LQBTQ+ couples, it’s not always so simple to find the perfect song for their first dance. Love songs and the wedding industry have a long history of assuming gender roles.

You could be enjoying a song while you lovingly embrace your partner, only to be pulled out of the moment by the words “him and her.”

We are professional wedding dance choreographers who believe in the inclusivity of love. Couples of every orientation should be able to easily find love songs that speak to the feelings they share with their beloved.

We have organized 80 inclusive love songs of many genres into 3 playlists, curated for different orientations. Many of the artists we featured are LGBTQ+ themselves or supporters of inclusivity. These love songs are all excellent choices for the first dance.

• 20 Gay Love Songs - Men Singing About Men

• 20 Lesbian Love Songs - Women Singing About Women

• 40 Gender Neutral Love Songs - Inclusive To All

• BONUS - 20 LGBTQ+ Inclusive Parent’s Dance Songs

Looking for advice on how to approach partner dancing as an LGBTQ+ couple? Check out our guide to the first dance & who leads, who follows posts.

Without further ado, let’s get to the songs!
