A First Dance Song Written About You: How It Works

Choosing a first dance song is one of the strangest jobs in wedding planning: you are trying to find a stranger's lyrics that happen to describe your relationship. Some couples get close. Most settle.

There is another option - a first dance song written about you. Here is how it works, what it costs in the UK, and what actually happens when the music starts.

How a custom first dance song works

  1. You tell us your story. How you met, the disaster first date, the proposal, the pet names, the city you call home - whatever makes you two, you.
  2. We write and record it. Original lyrics built from your details, professionally produced in the genre you love - acoustic ballad, country, jazz, even rock.
  3. It arrives within 48 hours. MP3 and WAV plus a printable lyric sheet you can frame next to your wedding photos. You can add Spotify publishing so guests can stream it on the day.

What it costs

A personalised wedding song is £14.99 - less than most wedding bouquets - and it is the one part of the day no other couple has ever had.

Where couples use their song

  • The first dance - your names in the chorus, your story in the verses.
  • Walking down the aisle - an instrumental-led original sets the moment apart.
  • During the speeches - a song is a speech people cry at rather than politely laugh through.
  • As a gift from guests - parents and bridesmaids order songs about the couple; the reception reaction is the review.
  • Vow renewals and anniversaries - the same story, a few more chapters.

As one couple put it in our Trustpilot reviews: "We played it at our wedding reception and the whole room went silent. Our guests still talk about it a year later."
