stumbleupon For some couples, picking a wedding song for their first dance is easy. It might be a song that they heard on their first date, or the song that was playing when they first kissed. For other couples, the task may be a little more complicated.
Many wedding couples I know have spent many, many months trying to think of the perfect wedding song for their wedding dance. It’s the usual scenario, one of the couple likes one song, but the other rejects the selection, claiming it reminds them of an ex, or that they simply don’t like the song.
Rather than trying to compromise on a song that both the bride and groom like and feel a connection with, some couples have taken a different route and hired a song writer to custom make a song for them.
It’s a lovely concept, as the couple can have a song that is unique for their situation and it can be forever their song. If you choose to have a custom made song, you have a number of options available to you.
Write Your Own Lyrics
If you and your partner have an idea about what you would like the lyrics to be, you could write a very loose draft of your song. Bear in mind, that once music is put to the lyrics it, the lyrics may need to be changed due to timing and composition.
If you will find that process hard, it’s probably best to just jot down some pointers about what is essential to include in the lyrics, like the first time you met, or your first date. That way your hired song writer can craft a song that meets your requirement.
Choosing a Song Writer – Questions to Ask
Choosing a songwriter, involves the same processes as choosing any other wedding vendor. You must look at current samples/folios of the vendors work and know upfront what you are getting for your money.
If you do choose to have a personalised wedding song, ensure that you allow yourself plenty of time before your wedding. Song writers have many clients at the one time, and you do not want them to rush through your song. You also want to allow enough time for changes to be made if needed.
