How long does it take?
We request a month's lead time, but we’ll work with you. We can deliver your song in as quickly as one week. If it’s gotta happen, we’ll get it done!
How would I use my song?
People have used their songs for: First Dance, Vows, Proposal, Father/Daughter Dance, Mother/Son Dance, Gift to the Couple, Gift From One Member of the Couple to the Other, Processional, Recessional, Wedding Video, Save-the-Date Video, Elopement, Anniversary, Played Live by Wedding Band…and more – wherever people’s imaginations lead them…
I'm interested in a custom song that's not for a wedding. Do you write songs for other things?
We can discuss writing you an original song for something other than the "I Do" process. We have delivered songs for corporate retreats, birthdays, Bar/Bat mitzvahs and more.
How can I be sure I’ll like my song? That it will be exactly what we want?
It’s our priority to deliver a song that’s perfect for you. After our preliminary talk(s) we share a draft to all be sure we’re heading in the right musical/conceptual direction. We check in throughout the process, and we can make final adjustments up until the last minute, if necessary.
How many talks do I get/questions can I ask? How much do we discuss?
This isn’t a one-time 30 min call or a cookie-cutter form you fill out with your names, hobbies, where you met, the name of your dog… Together, we find out what makes your story and love unique, and what details lend themselves to a fantastic song!
What styles of music do you write? How polished will my recording be?
(a) As songwriters who collaborate with the music industry’s top talents around the world, we have been fortunate to work in many genres of music, ranging from Pop, Country, Folk, R&B, Hip Hop, Musical Theatre, World Music and many more. We, and our diverse music team, are confident that we can deliver anything you ask for.
(b) You will receive a radio-quality recording (delivered both in mp3 and wav files). Instrumentation ranges from an intimate piano or guitar vocal all the way to a full band/orchestra arrangement–whatever suits your song. Our musicians are all top-level professionals with Broadway experience and/or studio and major touring resumes. Our team works with the biggest Broadway stars and recording artists of our day.
Can you come to perform my song live??
It can be arranged for us to come ANYWHERE and perform your song at your event.
Will you use my song for other purposes?
We will not use your song for other purposes without your permission.
Can I use my song for purposes other than my wedding? (i.e. for my wedding video, to share with friends, on social media…)
You can use/share your song as much as you want! It just can’t be sold as “Songs To Say I Do” will retain writing and publishing ownership.
Will you use my song for other purposes?
We will not use your song for other purposes without your permission.
Where are you located?
We split our time between NYC, Nashville and Los Angeles.
Why can’t I purchase my song directly on your website?
We write only 4 wedding songs per month. It is our top priority to make each of them exactly what you want, and this takes time. We don’t take on every request–after our free consultation, we need to make sure it’s a right fit for everyone.
