First Dance Song
An original first dance song written from your love story — not someone else’s.
Most couples choose a first dance song that already exists — a beautiful song, but written about someone else’s relationship. A custom first dance song from Song Tailor is written about yours. How you met, what you love, and the promise you are making. Event Grade available for your wedding date with unlimited revisions.

Why an original first dance?
Seven reasons a custom first dance song beats a cover.
An original song, not a cover of someone else’s moment.
Most couples dance to a song that already exists — a song written about someone else’s love story. An original first dance song is written about yours. The lyrics reference how you met, what you love about each other, and the promise you’re making. Every time you replay it on anniversaries, it is still your story.
Event Grade — unlimited revisions and concierge QA.
Your wedding is not a casual occasion. Event Grade ($149+) gives you unlimited revisions scoped to your wedding date, priority production, and concierge quality assurance. If the lyrics need tweaking, we tweak them. If the arrangement needs adjusting, we adjust it. You get as many iterations as it takes.
Scheduled unlock — the song reveals when you do.
The Premium Reveal add-on ($29) includes scheduled unlock. Send the link to your wedding planner, DJ, or videographer early, and the song page stays locked until your first dance. No fumbling with files. No USB sticks. The song appears at the exact moment you want it to.
Generative cover art that matches your wedding aesthetic.
Song Tailor Premium and Event include generative cover art — 6 motifs × 6 palettes, matched to the occasion and mood you selected. Whether your wedding is rustic, modern, or vintage, the cover art reflects your style. It looks beautiful on the reveal page and as a shareable announcement.
Human producer review — because a first dance has to land.
Everyone will be watching. A lyric that stumbles or a pronunciation that pulls people out of the moment matters. Premium and Event tiers include a dedicated human producer who checks the song for tone, name pronunciation, emotional fit, and lyrical accuracy before it reaches you.
Private reveal page for family and friends.
After the wedding, share the private reveal page with guests who couldn’t attend, or with family who want to relive the moment. The page shows the dedication, cover art, and lyrics alongside the song — making it easy to share without sending a raw audio file.
Afterglow keepsakes — wallpaper, liner notes, lyric sheet.
The Premium Reveal includes an afterglow kit with HD wallpaper for their phone, liner notes about the song, and a printable lyric sheet. Little touches that turn the first dance song into a permanent keepsake of your wedding day.
