Joyful + celebratory!

"We used Sinclar Serenade for our wedding in 2022 and absolutely LOVED them! Initially I hired them to play an original song for my husband and I at our first look, but also had them play a hymn during our ceremony, and some background music. They were thoughtful, attentive, and easy to work with. Justin helped me think through some of the logistics... It was such a joy to have them at our special day. Don’t hesitate to hire them!"

The best gift ever!

"I commissioned Justin to write an original song as an anniversary gift to my husband and it remains the best gift I've ever been able to give. Justin's process reflects his organic, easy-going yet deeply intentional style... He's lyrically gifted. He and Joy are special people, and they treat every person, event and performance as appropriately special as well. Also, they sound great. ;)"

Dreamy & Unforgettable Wedding Music

"Words can’t fully capture how incredible Justin & Joy (Sinclair Serenade) are. Sweetness, joy and warmth filled our wedding ceremony with every note they played-- exactly what we had hoped it would be and more. After discussing our relationship journey with my husband, they even created a special song just for us... Hearing it performed live during our ceremony was such an emotional moment for us and our guests--cue tears! Their harmonies blended perfectly... We are beyond grateful we chose them!"

A Perfect Gift

"Justin and Joy are incredible, heartfelt songwriters with the instrumentation and melody to match. I was trying to think of the perfect gift to give my wife for her birthday, and I commissioned Justin to write a song for her. He took the time and care to really understand our story... And he delivered an absolutely gorgeous song that truly captured our experience together, both in lyric and tone. Thanks Justin, for all that you do, for your true talent and art."

Want Your Own Song?

A one-of-a-kind song written just for your story — performed live, recorded forever.

Whether it's a wedding ceremony, a proposal, a memorial, or a gift for someone you love — I'll craft a song that captures your story and keeps it forever. A beautiful keepsake you'll return to for years to come.

Listen to an example — a song written for the wedding of Sam and Tessa Hayashida

It's one thing to hear other people's love stories in songs — but to have your own song, one that captures the joy, heartache, beauty, and depth of your unique story… that's something you'll carry with you forever.

I can perform the song live at your wedding, event, or proposal — and if you'd like, we can record it with world-class musicians. I've worked with artists including Adele, Kacey Musgraves, Billie Eilish, John Legend, Michael Bublé, and many others.

"Beauty in Our Eyes"

Sam & Tessa H · Wedding Ceremony · Performance & Recording Package

"So, so glad I hired Justin to write a song for my wedding. That's something that me and my wife will get to hold onto and listen to forever. Until we're 60. And 70. And God willing, 120. Still not quite sure how Justin so perfectly captured and retold our story in a 4-minute song… but he did. And now we have that forever. Thanks Justin."

— Sam H, copywriter

"All Over Again"

Rachel & JD N · Wedding Anniversary · Recording Package

"I asked Justin if he would write a song (secretly) so I could surprise my husband with it for our 4th wedding anniversary… even before he heard the song, he said 'let's listen again!' several times through the day, saying over and over 'I can't believe we have a song as a part of our story!'"

— Rachel N, therapist

"The Love That I've Been Looking For"

Kelsey & Andrew C · Wedding Ceremony · Performance Package

Hearing it performed live during our ceremony was such an emotional moment for us and our guests–cue tears! Their harmonies blended perfectly and the songs we chose were performed with such skill and authenticity. We are beyond grateful we chose them for our wedding music! Can't recommend more!"

— Kelsey C, grade teacher
