Live Wedding Music Options for Your Sydney Wedding

One booking and one Band Manager, from the ceremony through to the last song.

Ceremony Music

The doors open, the strings swell into your song and every head turns. By the time you reach the person waiting for you, there's not a dry eye in the room.

Choose strings, harp or a singer for the songs that mean the most to you. For strings, we play from a library of almost 1,000 arrangements of today's biggest songs, written exclusively by us. You won't hear them played this way anywhere else. Ceremony music from about $750. All prices include GST.

INSTRUMENTAL OPTIONS

VOCAL OPTIONS

Reception Music

This is where we shine. We play your first dance live, read the room, and keep the dance floor full all night.

Start with an Acoustic Vocal Duo for drinks and canapés at Pier One. Then a Nine-Piece Band at Doltone House Jones Bay Wharf, or a DJ combo with a sax player among your guests. Don't skip the sax. Reception music from about $2,170.

Ceremony and Reception Together

Most Sydney couples book us for the ceremony as well as the reception. We play you down the aisle, then we're the ones getting your guests dancing that night, so the feeling of the day carries all the way through.

Want an MC or something different? Just ask. See our wedding music packages.

Processional, signing, first dance, last song. Every song in these lists is one we play live. Find yours, then tell us the ones that aren't here.

Why Sydney Couples Choose Red Soda

You choose the singer you love. Your Band Manager confirms your singer is available before you book, then we build the band around that voice with the musicians we play weddings with every weekend.

We began as friends at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music. Today we're full-time and degree-qualified, and some of us have performed with Stevie Wonder, Ed Sheeran, Kylie Minogue and Sir Paul McCartney.

SYDNEY COUPLES SAY THE DANCE FLOOR WAS FULL FROM FIRST SONG TO LAST

  • “Our singer did live acoustic for our ceremony with some specially chosen songs, then was joined by a three-piece band for the reception. Everyone had so much fun on the dance floor, and we got lots of great feedback on the band.”

What to Know About Wedding Music in Sydney

  1. Check parking and access. City and harbour venues often have limited parking and set times for when we can arrive and set up. Tell us anything unusual.

  2. Two venues? Allow time between them. Your Band Manager will help with timing.

  3. Have a wet weather plan. Strings, harp and sound gear can't play in rain or harsh Aussie sun. Lock in a covered, shaded backup early.

  4. Check the music curfew. Many harbourside venues finish amplified music early. Tell us yours and we'll plan around it.

  5. Book early. Saturday nights are always snapped up first.
    We're often booked up to 12 months ahead.

About Sydney Weddings

Sydney is built around one of the world's most beautiful harbours. Harbourside venues, beaches like Bondi and Palm Beach, and heritage gardens all sit within an hour of each other.

Sydney Wedding Music: Frequently Asked Questions

Which areas of Sydney does Red Soda cover?

All of them: the CBD, the harbour, the Eastern Suburbs, North Shore, Northern Beaches, Inner West, Hills District, Western and South West Sydney and the Sutherland Shire. One Saturday we might be at Jonah's at Whale Beach, the next at Audley Dance Hall in the Royal National Park. Travel to most Sydney venues is included in your Package Builder price.

How much does a wedding band cost in Sydney?

Ceremony music starts from about $750, and reception music from about $2,170. That's an Acoustic Singer down the aisle and a One-Piece DJ Combo for the night; a live band starts from $3,200 for a Three-Piece. Book both together and a package discount applies. The Package Builder shows your price instantly, for every combination up to a Nine-Piece Band. All prices include GST.

How far in advance should I book a Sydney wedding band?

As soon as your venue is confirmed. Spring and autumn fill fastest, Saturday nights are always snapped up first.
We're often booked up to 12 months ahead. Locking in the date is quick: your Band Manager confirms your singer is available and your deposit secures it. The song choices can come later, once you've had time to listen.

What's the best ceremony music for a Sydney wedding?

Size it to your guests. A Violin + Cello Duo suits up to about 50, a String Trio up to about 80, and a String Quartet gives the fullest sound for around 100. Want the words too? Try an Acoustic Singer or String Trio + Vocals.

Can Red Soda play a beach or garden ceremony?

Yes. Strings and harp need no power, so they suit the Royal Botanic Garden just as well as a Northern Beaches ceremony with no power point in sight. Amplified options, like an Acoustic Singer, need mains power within 3 metres, so ask your venue where the nearest point is. Our instruments can't play in rain or harsh Aussie sun, so give us shade and a covered backup.

Can one band cover our ceremony and reception?

Yes, and most Sydney couples do it this way. We play your ceremony and carry that feeling right through to the dance floor: strings for your vows at Gunners Barracks, an Acoustic Vocal Duo for drinks and canapés, then the band or DJ combo that packs the floor that night. Same Band Manager, same booking, start to finish. Book both and a package discount is applied automatically.

Do you provide a DJ and MC?

Yes. With our DJ Combos we play live for drinks and canapés, dinner and your first dance, then hit the decks, with live sax out on the floor if you like. Add an MC when you book and your MC keeps the night on time.

Can we choose our own songs?

Absolutely. Pick your songs for the big moments, like your aisle song and first dance, and we'll play them live. For strings, we play from almost 1,000 arrangements written exclusively by us, and new ones are possible given enough notice.
