A well known hit with your inside jokes
You take a song everyone knows and rewrite the lyrics about the groom: his quirks, old stories, the nickname nobody else understands. Everyone knows the melody, the lyrics make it unique.

No practice
nobody needs to be able to sing
The part of the day everyone still talks about at night.
Beer bike, paintball, pub crawl: the groom already knows all that, he has probably organised it himself before. Hardly anyone has seen a recording studio from the inside. When the headphones go on and your own voice comes back, it goes quiet for a moment. After that, not at all.
What you record depends on your group: rewritten lyrics, a rap over a beat, or guitar and cajón for a real band sound. Singing well does not matter. What matters is that the recording sounds like you.
Right after the recording, a group photo is taken for the CD cover, for handing over on the wedding day. The studio is two minutes from the S-Bahn, so the day carries on without a detour.
What you record
What stag party groups come to the studio with most often.
You do not have to decide beforehand. These formats work well and can still be changed in the studio.
Your own verses over a beat
Everyone gets a verse or four lines, the chorus comes from all of you together. Rhymes do not have to be perfect, I take care of the timing, often the fastest route to a result worth hearing.
The part everyone shouts together
Twelve men, one chorus, layered several times over. It sounds bigger than expected, and single voices disappear in a choir, which takes away the last bit of hesitation.
What you would otherwise never tell him
Everyone says a few sentences into the microphone, to the groom or the couple. Among the usual jokes there is always one who means it, and that is the moment it goes quiet at the wedding.
Greetings in character
The fake news anchor, the coach at half time, the invented radio show about him. Anyone who can do impressions or likes to exaggerate gets their stage here.
He sings without knowing what is coming
The groom has no idea where he is going and suddenly stands at the microphone himself. The group has prepared the lyrics, he reads them for the first time, his reaction becomes part of the recording.
Price
One price, plain and simple.
60 euros per person, 6 to 10 people, minimum booking 6, no tiered pricing. Just tell me your preferred date.
Up to 2 hours
60 € per person, 6 to 10 people
60 euros per paying person, 6 to 10 people, from 360 to 600 euros for the group. Up to 2 hours of studio time, song choice and pace are up to you, I guide you through it.
CD with group photo cover
The recording becomes a CD with an individually designed cover and group photo from the studio, bookable as an add-on. Two CDs for 70 euros, up to 12 in total, for personal use only.
Photo and video memories
10 to 20 series photos from the studio, and on request a video recording of the finished song. Only taken after we agree on it.
Voucher as a gift
A personalised voucher for studio credit, available in the online shop, handy when the best men split the bill or the date is not fixed yet.
CD cover workshop
The group designs its CD cover together.
A download link disappears in the group chat fast. A CD with your faces on the case is still on the shelf ten years later.
Group photo right in the studio
Straight after the recording, while everyone is still in the mood. Several versions, serious and silly, not a staged photo shoot.
Choosing the image and the title together
You decide which photo it will be, what the album is called and what goes on the back, including the names of everyone involved.
The CD as a wedding gift
The finished cover is printed and the CD is burned: a gift with a story that wants to be told on the wedding day.
The CD is an add-on on request. Without it, you simply get the recording as a download link.
What stays
More than one item on the schedule, a day that echoes.
At the end there is not only a hangover, but something you can hold and play again.
01 The first moment
Your own voice in the headphones
The moment the headphones go on and your own voice comes back sorts the group out remarkably fast.
02 Getting over it
Singing in front of your own friends
Singing in front of your own friends is harder than in front of strangers, and whoever does it anyway earns bragging rights nobody can take away.
03 Laughing
The takes that went wrong
The first run almost always falls apart, and that is exactly what everyone remembers later.
04 Something shared
Finishing something together
A song only happens if everyone pulls together, at the end every one of you has a share in it.
05 Handing it over
The moment at the wedding
When the song plays at the reception and the couple hears it for the first time, the applause is different from the one after a speech.
06 Later on
Playing it again in five years
Most stag party gifts end up in the basement, a recording with your voices gets dug out again years later.
Preparation
How to plan the studio session for your group.
As the best man you are organising enough already. These six points keep the studio part simple.
1
Date
Book early, Saturdays go first
Weekend slots are popular, especially Saturday afternoons. Check the availability calendar and tell me your preferred date, ideally four to six weeks ahead.
2
Idea
Collect ideas, no need to commit
Collect a few song ideas in the group chat, you do not have to decide beforehand, that can happen in the studio too.
3
Lyrics
Bring rewritten lyrics finished
If you are rewriting a hit, finish the lyrics beforehand and bring them printed in large type, that saves studio time.
4
The groom
Tell me whether he is in on it
Whether he sings himself or is being surprised changes the session. For a surprise I hold back until you give me the sign.
5
Drinks
Bring your own drinks
I do not serve alcohol myself. Bring your own bottle of sparkling wine for a toast if you like, water is on me.
6
Afterwards
Carrying on without a detour
Two minutes from the studio to the S-Bahn at Bayerischer Bahnhof, the city centre and bars are within walking distance, many groups start the day here.
How a session runs
What actually happens on the day.
So you know what to expect, and can tell the group beforehand.
01
Agree on the numbers
You tell me the number of people (6 to 10) and the add-ons you want (CD, photos, video, voucher), the price follows directly from 60 euros per person.
02
Arriving, seeing the studio, microphone check
I show you the recording room and the control room, explain briefly what is about to happen and run a microphone check, that is usually when the tension drops.
03
Recording, several takes, chorus on top
Up to three people at the microphone at once, everyone else one after another or layered as a choir. We do several takes, I give the cues and say when it sits.
04
Listening, group photo, CD cover
We listen to the result together over the studio monitors and I put the studio polish on it. Then group photo and cover design, if you booked the CD. Delivery as a download link, the CD comes by post.

Frequent questions
Questions about a stag party at Tonstudio Leipzig.
The answers organisers need most often. Missing something? A short message is enough.
6 to 10 people per group, minimum booking 6. 60 euros per person for up to 2 hours of studio time, that is 360 euros for 6 people, 600 euros for 10.
No. I guide the singing and correct small pitch issues cleanly. Anyone who does not want to step up can speak, rap or just shout the chorus along, single voices disappear in a choir anyway.
Most often a well known hit with rewritten lyrics full of inside jokes, an own rap over a beat, a spoken message to the groom, or a chorus everyone sings together. With one or two musicians a small instrumental addition works too, but my studio is not set up for a full live band recording with drums, tell me beforehand who is playing.
I do not fix that in advance. Most groups start with their favourite song, and try a second one if there is time left.
No. Feel free to bring several options and make the call in the studio if you prefer.
Yes. If a song turns out not to work for the group, we switch to a different idea within your studio time.
Both work. Some bring him along and he sings the lead without knowing what is coming, others surprise him with the finished CD. For a surprise I hold back at the door, a short message beforehand is enough.
I do not serve alcohol myself and generally recommend an alcohol-free session, that helps your voice and the result. One bottle of sparkling wine for a toast is fine, water is on me, being completely drunk is audible on the recording though.
Up to 2 hours. You do not have to use the full frame. It covers everything: arriving, recording, listening together, group photo and CD cover.
Yes, on request as a CD with an individually designed cover and group photo, bookable as an add-on.
No pressure, nobody has to step up to the microphone. Writing lyrics, clapping, one spoken line or just laughing along is enough, the whole group ends up on the CD.
Only if you explicitly want them. Photo memories (10 to 20 series photos) and video recordings are add-ons on request, nothing happens unasked.
Yes. A personalised voucher for studio credit is available in the online shop, handy when the best men split the bill.
The studio date itself we agree on beforehand, just send me a short message.
60 euros per person for 6 to 10 people, a final price under the German small business rule, that is 360 to 600 euros. Only the add-ons you really want come on top.
