. . . 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.

"Can't Help Falling In Love"

"Always"

"At Last"

"Here There and Everywhere"

"Our Love Is Here To Stay"

"Inna Godda Da Vida"

Then there was that Beatles classic "Why Don't We Do It In The Road"

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".

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".
