Custom Wedding Songs & Personalized Covers
Many couples have a song that already means something to them. Philip Bowen creates custom recordings of those favorite songs, adding expressive fiddle, violin, or instrumental arrangements that make the music feel personal and memorable.
Most custom requests involve recording a personalized version of an existing song — often with fiddle added to a meaningful track, or a fully instrumental version created for a ceremony, first dance, or special moment.
With experience delivering more than 300 custom wedding recordings, Philip has helped couples celebrate proposals, ceremonies, anniversaries, and once-in-a-lifetime events with music tailored to their story.
Prices start at $200.
Common Requests
- Fiddle added to a favorite song
- Instrumental version of a meaningful track
- First dance or ceremony music
- Wedding processionals or recessional songs
- Anniversary or gift recordings
- Personalized arrangements for special moments
How the Process Works
- You reach out. Share the song or songs you have in mind, along with the event date and any style ideas.
- We respond with details. You'll receive clear information about how the recording will be created and what to expect.
- The music comes to life. Philip records and delivers a polished version ready to use for your ceremony, first dance, or special moment.
The typical timeline is 4–6 weeks. During peak wedding seasons and heavy touring periods, schedules fill quickly, so reaching out early is always recommended.
That said, you are always welcome to reach out. In some cases, a rush timeline may be possible.
Original Songs
While most requests involve personalized covers or instrumental versions of existing songs, Philip has also written original custom songs for weddings and special occasions when couples are looking for something completely unique.
Private Events & Availability
In addition to custom recordings, Philip performs a limited number of private events each year, including weddings, corporate gatherings, and special celebrations.
If you are planning an event and would like live music in addition to a custom recording, details can be discussed after your initial inquiry.
