Wedding Band Toronto: Live Music From Your Ceremony to the Last Dance

Vows in a Distillery District courtyard. Dinner as the city lights come up. Then a band or DJ who carries everyone into the small hours. That's the night we play for.

Live Wedding Music for Your Ceremony and Reception

Strings for your walk down the aisle. Live music over cocktails and dinner. Then a dance floor that stays full until the final song. One booking, and one Band Manager, first question to last song.

Ceremony Music That Gives You Goosebumps

The walk down the aisle. Your vows. The music while you sign. The cheer as you walk back up together. These are the moments you'll replay forever.

Choose strings, harp, or a singer performing the song that's been yours since the beginning. For strings, we play from a library of almost 1,000 arrangements of today's biggest songs, all written exclusively by us. You won't hear them played this way anywhere else.

A Dance Floor Nobody Wants to Leave

Reception dance floors are really our specialty. We read the room: when to bring back the 90s, when to slow it down for your dance with Mom, and exactly which song gets your uncle out of his seat.

Go all in with a live band, anything up to a Nine-Piece Band. Or choose a DJ combo: live music through dinner, then a DJ with a live sax player weaving through your guests.

Ceremony and Reception, One Team

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 to keep the formalities on time? Add one to the same booking.

How Much Does a Wedding Band Cost in Toronto?

It depends on the night you want: how many musicians, which parts of the day, and where your venue is. Every musician you add is one you'll hear. Keys at four pieces, a second singer at five, sax at six. Sax changes everything.

Ceremony music starts from $690 and reception music from $2,500. All prices include HST.

COUPLES SAY THE BAND WAS EVERYONE'S FAVOURITE PART OF THE DAY

  • “Red Soda exceeded our expectations! The dance floor was busy all night, and we've had nothing but compliments from our friends and family. Aside from us tying the knot, the band was everyone's favourite part of the day!”

Why Toronto Couples Choose Red Soda

You choose the singer you love. Your Band Manager confirms your singer is available, then we build the band around them with the musicians they play with every weekend.

We're all degree-qualified, and some of us have performed with Stevie Wonder and Ed Sheeran. At your wedding, all of that goes into one thing: your night.

Can We See Red Soda Perform Before We Book?

Yes. Every singer, string group and band is in the Package Builder, over 30 hours of video. Find the voice that gives you goosebumps, then hear it with a quartet, a Five-Piece Band or a sax.

When you're ready, your Band Manager confirms your singer is available.

Toronto Wedding Band: Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a wedding band cost in Toronto?

Ceremony music starts from $690 and reception music from $2,500, with travel within about 30 km of Toronto included. A live band starts from $3,750 for a Three-Piece Band. All prices include HST, and the Package Builder shows the price of every combination as you build.

How long does a wedding band play for?

A Red Soda reception runs over five hours of live music, from cocktails through dinner to the last song. In the breaks, we play our Spotify playlist, or yours, so the room never goes quiet. Your Band Manager builds the timing around your speeches, your first dance and your venue's music finish time, so the last song still lands with the floor full.

Can we have a live band and a DJ?

Yes, and it's one of our most popular setups. Our DJ combos give you live music for cocktails, dinner and your first dance, then a DJ for the dance floor, with a live sax player or electric violinist right among your guests.

Can Red Soda play our ceremony and reception?

Yes. One booking covers your ceremony, cocktails, dinner and dance floor, and your Band Manager plans all of it with you. Book them together and a package discount is applied automatically in the Package Builder, so the price you see already includes it.

Do you play weddings outside Toronto?

Yes, right across the GTA and Ontario, including Niagara-on-the-Lake, Muskoka, Prince Edward County, Collingwood, Hamilton and the Kawarthas. A downtown ballroom one weekend, a Muskoka dock at sunset the next: we love playing out of the city. Accommodation for us is sometimes needed for the furthest venues, and your Band Manager tells you before you book, so you know before you decide.

Do you provide an MC?

Yes. Add an MC to run your entrances, speeches and formalities, so the night flows and you can simply enjoy it. Just ask your Band Manager, who'll add it to the same booking and plan the running order with you.

Do you play outdoor ceremonies?

Yes. Strings and harp play unplugged. When we sing, we bring our own sound system and need power within 3 metres (10 feet). Our instruments can't play in rain, cold or harsh summer sun, so give us a covered, shaded spot and plan an indoor backup.

Can we choose our own songs?

Yes. Choose your songs for the walk down the aisle, the signing and your first dance, and we'll play them live. For strings, we play from a library of almost 1,000 arrangements of today's biggest songs, written exclusively by us, and a new String Quartet arrangement may involve a small music preparation fee.
