It\u2019s such a special moment when the groom and his mother take to the dance floor, smiling as \u2018their song\u2019 plays, and tears of joy often flow for both of them. This is a moment when both mother and son thank each other for being so special, so loving and supportive, and for the mother-son dance, a very special song is played. <\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the most popular mother-son dance songs, reported by some of the top <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highlawn.com\/weddings-special-events.html\">New Jersey wedding entertainment experts<\/a> that we\u2019ve had the great fortune to host here: <\/p>\n<p>\u201c<\/p>\n<p>What a Wonderful World\u201d by \t\t\tLouis Armstrong<br \/>\n\u201cHow Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)\u201d by\tJames Taylor<br \/>\n \u201cBecause You Loved Me\u201d by\t\t\tCeline Dion<br \/>\n\u201cShe\u2019s Got a Way\u201d by\t\t\t\tBilly Joel<br \/>\n\u201cThrough the Years\u201d by\t\t\t\tKenny Rogers<br \/>\n\u201cUnforgettable\u201d by\t\t\t\tNat King Cole<br \/>\n\u201cYou Raise Me Up\u201d by\t\t\t\tJosh Groban<br \/>\n\u201cThank You For Loving Me\u201d by\t\t\tBon Jovi<br \/>\n\u201cKind and Generous\u201d\tby\t\t\tNatalie Merchant<\/p>\n<p>One trend that we\u2019re seeing for Mother-Son dances is the groom choosing a song as a surprise for his mother, sometimes playing a song that his mother has always loved, one they\u2019ve held close as a special tune between them for years. Dancing to that wedding song now, in front of all of their family and friends at such a special celebration is a wonderful tribute to the mother\u2019s special place in the groom\u2019s heart, and he in hers. <\/p>\n<p>Best,<br \/>\nMichael Mahle, Director of Communications, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pleasantdale.com\/weddings.html\">Pleasantdale Ch\u00e2teau<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A highlight of any wedding reception is the Mother-Son First Dance, and we\u2019ve seen some truly wonderful moments between mothers and sons at the start of the couple\u2019s big day.
