. . . in a supper club situation? Of course the all-time standard is the Anniversary Song (Oh, How We Danced... etc.). I find younger couples don't relate to that. I often do "Love Me Tender", or "Can I Have This Dance", or even the much-discussed "Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye".
What are other suggestions?

I do the first two. I'll have to check out the others. Keep 'em coming!
Gotta go watch my kid play basketball.

The Anniversary Waltz, of course.

Your Song (Elton John)
I Just Called (Stevie Wonder)
Unchained Melody (Everybody)
Glory Of Love (Peter Cetera)
Hero (Enrique Englasias)
The Wonder Of You (Elvis)

and occasionally

Batchelor Boy (Cliff Richard)

"Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" with UD's interpretation, of course.

I'm not even sure of the name of this song, but Peter Paul & Mary did it.
It's either called the "Wedding Song" or "There is Love".
"He is now to be among you...at the calling of your hearts...etc."

Also..."One Last Kiss".

Along with some of the others posted ... Sinatra's "The Way You Look Tonight"
Joshua Kaddison's "Beautiful In My Eyes"

If the venue can handle an upbeat 'boogie/shuffle... "Still The One" by Orleans

The lyrics of Vince Gill's "Look At Us" are perfect for anniversaries. I changed his arrangement slightly to de-countryfy it for mainstream audiences and it has become one of the most requested ballads of the night.

If I have already done it by the time I am asked to play for an anniversary, I will often do "You're The Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me".

If they have a sense of humor...... a few bars of "Release Me".

Van Morisson's "Have I told you Lately" is awesome. I like the arrangement especially the string/piano in the beginning.

Great for slow dancing for sure.

In addition to the songs already listed, I try to play the song that the anniversary couple selected for their offiical opening bride & groom dance at their wedding reception. These typically (but not necessarily) include the popular romantic ballad at the time (year) they were married or engaged. - Scott

Look At Us
When Your Old Wedding Ring Was New
Anniversary Waltz
Unchained Melody

Great suggestions guys. I already know many of these songs, but I forget about using them sometimes. I'm making a list of good anniversary songs now.
I actually HAVE played Please Release Me at anniversary parties, in the proper spirit of course!
Thanks guys,
