The beauty of lockdown is having extra time on your hands to plan the big day and spend more time looking in to extra ways to make the event truly bespoke. Lark is an exciting new company which composes tailor-made, personalised songs – perfect for weddings.
Lark's team of award-winning writers, musicians and producers, who have worked with the likes of Alicia Keys, Amy Winehouse, Sia and Sam Smith, collaborate with couples to craft a completely bespoke song from scratch. The song-writing process begins with a series of interviews (which can be done virtually during this time) with the Lark team. Here they'll learn everything they need to know about you as a couple: your favourite genres, albums, songs, bands and singers, your relationship, how you met, your most treasured memories and moments, funny in-jokes and favourite things.
Armed with this information, they will work with you to create a completely unique and personal track that will wow your guests and make your first dance or the walk down the aisle even more memorable. The finished product is a mastered piece of music, recorded by a professional singer to a commercial standard which can be played or performed live on the day. Not only that, you will receive ownership of the master in addition to a share of the publishing rights. Their connections in the music industry means that no request is too big. As part of their 'Black Card Experience' they can arrange for the record to be produced in Abbey Road or even performed by a famous recording artist - the possibilities are endless!
Lark offer a completely individual and bespoke experience and therefore have a variety of packages and options available, with prices starting from £950. To find out more information, please visit www.larksong.co.uk | instagram.com/lark_songs

Few people have seen this evolution up close quite like DJ China L'One, founder of We Run the World, the UK's leading Black-owned, all-female DJ agency.
