Your first dance song is the most important track of your entire reception, and for this reason it can be tough to choose. If the classics just aren’t doing it for you, why not try a stripped down version of one of your favourite songs? Spotify is filled with interesting acoustic renditions of pop and rock songs, and there are definitely some hidden gems among them. If you don’t know where to begin, we’ve compiled a list of our fave acoustic cover songs.
