A worked example
Meet Martha, our example christening star
Martha isn't a real client, but families like hers celebrate the same moments. Below is the kind of detail families send us, and how we turn it into a song.
Martha
Christened next month, four generations in the register, godparents who love a friendly rivalry.
- Church where parents, grandparents and great-grandma were baptised
- Godparents: best friend and brother, already competing for favourite
- Wearing a very old, lace-trimmed christening gown
- Family, faith and a tiny girl at the centre of it all
What her family told us
Our daughter Martha is christened next month at the same church where her parents, grandparents and great-grandma were all baptised. Four generations in one register. Her godparents are my best friend and my brother, who have already started competing over who's the favourite. We'd love a song to play at the party after: family, faith, and one small girl in a very old gown.

Verse 1
There's a church on the hill where the bells still ringFor your mother, her mother, and the ones before themSame stone floor, same door, same soft morning lightNow it opens for you, little Martha, this time
Verse 2
The gown's gone a little bit yellow with ageFolded in tissue, then folded awayGreat-grandma wore it, so did we allFour generations, one name on the wall
Chorus
Martha, Martha, welcome inTo the water, the words, and your kinOne line in a register going back so farWritten in ink, but you're written like a star
Verse 3
Your uncle and your godmother, best friends of mineAlready arguing over whose turn, whose timeWho buys you the biggest gift, who you'll call firstTwo proud fools fighting, for better or worse
Bridge
But under all that teasing there's a promise that's trueTwo steady hearts standing watch over youWhatever comes, wherever you roamThis church and this family will call you home
Chorus
Martha, Martha, welcome inTo the water, the words, and your kinOne line in a register going back so farWritten in ink, but you're written like a star
Outro
So light every candle, pour out the wineSign your small name in that same old lineMartha, Martha, the newest pageIn a story that started long before your day
Every song is written from scratch for one child only. Martha's came from a historic church, a family register and a friendly godparent rivalry. Your song will be built from whatever you share.
What to tell us for a christening song
Just send the moments that mean the most: the place, the people, the little details. We'll weave them into verses.
The holy venue
Name the church, the stained glass, the organ, the part of the service that made you pause.
Generational ties
Four names in one register, a great-grandma's first baptism, the lineage that grounds the day.
Godparent rivalry
Best friend versus brother, who will be called the favourite. A playful line adds charm.
The little details
The lace-trimmed gown, the tiny hand on the candle, a smile that lights the aisle.
Musical styles that suit a christening
Pick the mood that matches your ceremony, or let us surprise you.
Acoustic folk
Soft strings and gentle vocals echo the intimacy of a family blessing.
Classical piano
Elegant piano carries the reverence of the church and the innocence of a newborn.
Light pop
A bright, uplifting melody that keeps the party lively after the service.

Before you ask
Questions, answered
Practical details about ordering, timing and the finished song.
What should I include for a christening song?
Give us the church name, any family history like generations in the register, the godparents and any playful rivalries, plus little visual details such as the gown or candle. A few sentences is enough.
Will the song arrive before the reception?
Yes. Our turnaround is within 24 hours of you completing the order. As long as you approve the lyrics promptly, it will be in your inbox before the party starts.
Can I choose a musical style?
Absolutely. Choose from acoustic folk, classical piano, light pop or select "Surprise me" and we'll match the style to the tone of your story.
Do I get to see the lyrics first?
You read and approve every line before we record. One revision is included free, so the final song sounds exactly as you want.
Is the song a one-off gift or can we keep it?
The finished MP3 is yours to keep forever. Play it at future birthdays, anniversaries or simply whenever you want to remember the day.
