How much does a custom wedding song cost in 2026?

The short answer: at Cantavals, a custom wedding song costs $99. You hear a free preview a few minutes after the interview, and you pay only if you love it. The complete song arrives right after payment, so even if the wedding is this Saturday, it still makes it.

Beyond that, the price of a commissioned song depends enormously on who writes it. A composer working with session players and a studio will normally charge several times more and deliver in weeks rather than minutes. These are two different products at two different prices, and it is worth knowing which one you need before you start asking for quotes.

What the price includes

• Lyrics written from scratch out of your story: names, places, your own moments.
• The song in two complete renditions, so you keep the one that sounds like you. Plus free rewrites if something lands wrong.
• Clean downloads, ready for the venue, for your videographer and for your own social accounts.
• An unconditional money-back guarantee, no forms, no questions.
• Three bonus songs, granted once you unlock the first one.

What costs nothing

The interview is free. The preview is free. Both stay free whatever you decide afterwards. This is not a promotion: it is the only honest way to sell something that does not exist yet at the moment you order it. We do not ask you to trust a description; we put the song in your headphones and only then talk about money.

Compare it with what you are paying anyway

The useful comparison is not with other songs, it is with the rest of the evening. A good band costs a few thousand for one night. A DJ costs a fraction of that for a playlist you will hear again at a wedding next weekend. The flowers on the tables are thrown out on Sunday morning.

Your song costs about as much as one round of drinks for the guests, and it is the only thing from that evening that stays exactly as it was ten years later. Measured against how long you keep using it, it is probably the cheapest line in the whole wedding budget.

Why it is cheaper than you would expect

Because you are not paying for studio hours. The lyrics and the final selection go through our atelier, while the music and the voice are composed with AI music technology guided by that atelier. It is in our terms and we say it on every page where somebody asks: this is not a detail to hide, it is the reason a song written specifically for you costs what it costs today rather than what it cost five years ago.

What does not get automated is the part that matters: what we ask you, what we keep from your answers, and what we choose to put in the chorus. That is the difference between a song with your names in it and a song about you.

What rights you get

You get an unlimited, perpetual, worldwide personal-use licence: at the wedding, in your photos and videos, on your own social accounts. Commercial exploitation is not included.

And the part others walk around: under current EU and US law, music generated entirely by AI is not eligible for copyright protection. Nobody can honestly promise you exclusive copyright over the composition, and we certainly do not. If someone does promise it, ask them what they are basing it on.

If you want more than one song

It happens often: one for the first dance, one for your parents, one as a gift for friends getting married. After the first song you keep three bonus songs in your account, and from that account a pack of 10 songs costs $65, around $6.5 each.

When it genuinely is not worth it

If you already have your song (the one from the first date, the one you have played a hundred times in the car), dance to that. No commissioned song beats a track that already means something.

And if what you actually want is real players recorded in a real studio, with a score and a session, then look for a composer rather than an atelier like ours. Different product, different price, different calendar. We would rather tell you that before you pay than after.

The answer, once more

$99, with a free preview before you pay, the complete song minutes after, two renditions, three bonus songs and an unconditional refund guarantee. The rest of the decision is best made with the song in your headphones, not with this article on your screen.
