The 4-Step Song Custom Song Creation Process

Here’s how our process works from blank slate to radio-ready custom song in just 4 steps.


1. Discover Your Love Story

To get started with your custom wedding song we need to find out about your unique love story. So we we send you a bunch of questions from which your answers will form the basis of the lyrics to your song.


2. Writing Your Custom Wedding Song

Once you're happy with the lyrics and the message of your song, we'll create a basic demo with a vocal melody over guitar or piano. This step really brings your song to life, since we're translating words on a screen into a song!

3. Recording, Production & Mixing

Next we take the demo and turn it into a radio-quality custom song.


You can either keep things stripped back and simple and go for an acoustic produciton, or turn your song into an epic full production with percussion, strings and full band.


I detail these two options below.


We then mix and master the song to bring it to commercial song quality.


4. Final Delivery and Presentation

  • High-quality WAV and MP3 download, including the instrumental version
  • Framed lyrics of your custom wedding song
  • Presentation call that you can invite all your friends and family to premiere your finished song
  • Optional lyric video to share on social media
