INSPIRATION
As one of Sydney’s most in-demand wedding bands, we’ve seen it all. From surprise serenades to soggy mishaps and unexpected party animals—every gig has left us with unforgettable memories and a great story to tell. Here's a peek behind the scenes at some of the most memorable moments we've had while performing at weddings across the Harbour City.
A groom secretly rehearsed Elvis Presley’s "Can't Help Falling in Love” with us for weeks. When he sang it live during the reception, the bride was in tears, and the room stood still. That’s the power of live music.
During a garden wedding’s first dance, the venue’s automatic sprinklers went off. The bride, groom, and guests got soaked. But the couple took it in stride, finishing their dance laughing—and drenched.
One overly enthusiastic guest kept hijacking our mics with off-key karaoke performances—despite the couple’s polite declines. Eventually, venue security had to step in. Pro tip: leave the mic to the professionals.
A masked guest in full tuxedo wowed everyone with spontaneous limbo dancing. Turns out he was the bride’s surprise cousin flying in from overseas. A dance floor battle followed. It was epic.
In the middle of the first dance, a friendly Labrador sprinted onto the outdoor dance floor, tail wagging. The couple laughed it off, guests clapped, and the pup briefly became the star of the night.
A lively grandmother stole the spotlight during "Twist and Shout", outdancing guests half her age. Her energy lit up the room and gave the bride and groom one of the most treasured memories of their celebration.
Being part of weddings across Sydney means encountering the unexpected—and loving every second of it. At Red Soda Band, we bring not just music, but presence, professionalism, and adaptability. From tight timelines to surprise performers (intentional or not), we’ve got it covered.

I loved the music; the violinist really set the atmosphere and I was almost lost for breath as I was about to walk down the aisle. We had talked about getting emotional thinking about that particular song and that was definitely the case for me on the day.
