Custom songs by occasion
A custom song for a proposal, written before you ask
The thing you play as you go down, or thirty seconds after she says yes. From $21.99, ready in as little as an hour.
Most people plan a proposal down to the minute and then leave the sound of it to chance. A restaurant playlist. A speaker somebody else controls. Whatever comes up next on shuffle while the ring is still in your pocket.
A song fixes the one part you cannot rehearse. Ours are written from what you tell us: the flat you shared, the argument about the sat nav, the year they waited. You get an original recording, two to three minutes, verses and a chorus and a proper arrangement, sung by a real-sounding voice about a person who is standing right in front of you.
What to put in a proposal brief
You are writing for an audience of one, and that person knows everything already. Skip the summary. Give us the evidence.
The moment you decided
Not when you bought the ring. The earlier one. Standing in a hospital corridor, or watching them talk to your gran for an hour about nothing.
What the last year looked like
The house move, the redundancy, the flat with mould on the ceiling. Proposals land harder when the song admits it has not all been easy.
Something only the two of you would get
The made-up word. The bin lorry that wakes you both on Tuesdays. One private reference does more than four verses of romance.
The question itself
Tell us if you want the lyric to actually ask, or to stop just short and leave the asking to you. Both versions work, and they are very different songs.
Which genre tends to work
Acoustic folk
One voice, one guitar, nothing to compete with you talking over it.
Piano ballad
Slow and open. Best if you are proposing indoors with no wind and no crowd.
R&B
For a proposal that is going to end with dancing rather than crying.
Afrobeats
If the yes is going straight to a family group chat and then a party.
Playing it before, during or after
Before works if you want the song to do the explaining. Put it on, let the first verse run, and by the second one they have worked out what is happening and you are already halfway there without saying a word.
After is the safer choice and the more common one. Ask first, get the answer, then play it while you are both still shaking. The song becomes the first thing that happened in the engagement rather than a piece of staging in the proposal, and nobody has to hold a phone steady during the important bit.
What arrives, and what happens to it afterwards
You get a finished original song on its own page, with the full lyric sheet, plus a permanent download. No subscription, no watermark across the audio, no expiry date on the link.
Which matters more than it sounds, because this file has a second life. Couples send it out with the save the dates, play it while guests are seated, or hand it to the wedding band as a starting point for the first dance a year later.
When to order, and the download rule
Order at least two days before you plan to ask. You need time to hear it three or four times, so that on the day you are not listening to the song, you are watching their face.
Then do the boring thing that saves the moment: download the file to the phone you will actually be holding, put it in your offline library and test it on the speaker you will use. Beaches, cliffs, chapels and Airbnb kitchens are all places where signal disappears. Standard delivery is 16 hours, Priority is 4 and Express is 1, so even a same-day decision leaves you room to get it onto the device properly.
Questions
Should the song actually ask the question?
Your call, and we write it either way. Say in the brief whether you want the lyric to propose outright or to stop just short so the words are yours. If you are asking out loud, ending short usually plays better.
How do I make sure it plays where I am proposing?
Download it to your phone in advance and check it plays with aeroplane mode on. Clifftops, beaches and old buildings eat signal, and streaming from a link is the one thing that goes wrong on the day.
How fast can I get one?
Express delivery is one hour from brief to finished song. Priority is 4 hours and Standard is 16. The form itself takes about ten minutes.
What if I get a detail wrong in the brief?
Tell us and we run it again free. Wrong city, wrong dog's name, wrong year: none of it is worth living with, and it costs you nothing to fix.
Ready when you are
About ten minutes of questions. A finished song in as little as an hour, from $21.99, yours to keep forever.
