Why should I order a custom song or video?
There are many reasons why you might want to order a custom song. Perhaps you’re getting married and want your own personalized song for your first dance; or want your own personalized lyric video to be played during your reception or ceremony. Maybe you want to give a gift to your spouse for an anniversary or Valentine’s Day. You may want a special song written in remembrance of a loved one that has passed on, or to welcome a new addition to your family.
