Many Red Soda musicians have performed on some of the world’s biggest stages alongside internationally renowned artists. Today, they bring that same experience, professionalism and passion to weddings and events across Toronto.

Why Couples Choose Red Soda for Their Toronto Wedding Ceremony

The doors open, the violins soar over the warm, deep hum of the cello, and everyone you love turns to see you.

Strings, harp or a singer, played with real heart by musicians who love this moment as much as you do. Add a singer, and hear every word of your song sung live as you walk toward the person you're about to marry.

Why Live Ceremony Music Feels Different

A recording plays the same way every time. We play to you, and we know how to read an aisle.

Prelude Choose something gentle and familiar, and your guests settle in smiling.

The Entrance (Processional) No timing to the second. We shape the music so it builds with every step toward the person waiting for you.

The Signing A quiet moment for a song that means something to you both.

Candle Lighting and Communion Gentle music in church, including hymns.

The Exit (Recessional) You're married. The room cheers and you head into cocktails on a high.

Start planning your ceremony music

Need a starting point? Here are three popular ceremony ideas.

Idea	Line-up	Details
Intimate Ceremony	Violin + Cello Duo or Acoustic Singer	The violin sings the melody, the cello wraps it in warmth, or one voice and a guitar. Up to about 50 guests.
Classic Strings	String Trio	Two violins over a cello: melody and harmony together, for up to about 80 guests.
Grand Entrance	String Quartet or String Trio + Vocals	Our fullest string sound, or strings with a voice on top, for 80 to 100+ guests in a big room or a heritage church.

Wedding Ceremony Music Options

Start with the sound that gives you goosebumps.

String Quartet
Two violins, a viola and a cello. Four players, and the whole room fills.
String Trio
Two violins and a cello, playing weddings together every weekend.
Violin + Cello Duo
Melody and warmth, for ceremonies of up to about 50.
Instrumental Harp
Soft, shimmering and beautiful to watch.
Acoustic Singer
One voice and a guitar, stripped back to the feeling.
Acoustic Singer + Violin
A singer on guitar, with a violin weaving around the melody.
Acoustic Vocal Duo
Two voices, real harmonies and a wider choice of songs.
Harp + Vocals
Harp with a live singer, one of our most intimate combinations.
String Trio + Vocals
Strings underneath, a voice on top. Completely yours.
Acoustic Duo + Violin & Bass
Two singers, guitar, violin and bass. Our biggest acoustic sound.

How Many Musicians Do You Need?

Choose by guest numbers and the sound you want. Strings play unplugged, so more players fill a bigger space.

The biggest leap in sound is from a duo to a trio. With two violins, the melody and harmonies soar together over the beautiful bass notes of the cello. The quartet adds a viola, filling the middle with an even deeper, richer warmth.

Planning a big wedding? A Double String Trio is six musicians. A Double String Quartet is eight musicians, like a small orchestra framing your aisle — a spectacle your guests will talk about for years.

COUPLES SAY OUR CEREMONY MUSIC WAS BREATHTAKING AND EVEN BROUGHT GUESTS TO TEARS

“Our experience was perfect. Literally perfect. The string quartet performed the most breathtaking ceremony and cocktail hour music, even learning and performing a custom song for when I walked down the aisle.”
Hayley
“They played while guests arrived, during the procession and through cocktails. As my parents and I walked down the aisle they played Perfect by Ed Sheeran, and I can't stress enough how perfectly they played my songs.”
Samantha
“We hired the string quartet for our ceremony and cocktail hour. The musicians are so talented – they brought tears to our guests' eyes! They were very easy to work with and very accommodating.”
Monika
“Live ceremony music was one of my must-haves, and as a musician I was probably a more particular client than most. The team was amazing in helping me bring my vision to life on the day. It was literally a fairy tale.”
Chantel
“We booked a string trio for our fall wedding, and it was the best decision we made! It really elevated our wedding ceremony, and Red Soda was so easy to deal with.”

Wedding Ceremony Music Toronto – Frequently Asked Questions

How much does ceremony music cost in Toronto?

Ceremony music starts from $690 for an Acoustic Singer, with strings from $830 for a Violin + Cello Duo. All prices include HST, and travel within about 30 km of Toronto is included. Book your reception with us too and a package discount applies.

How do we choose between a Violin + Cello Duo, String Trio and String Quartet?

Go by your guests: up to about 50 for a duo, about 80 for a trio, 80 to 100+ for a quartet. Strings play unplugged, so more players fill a bigger space. The trio is the biggest leap in sound. Your Band Manager will help you choose.

Do you bring your own sound equipment?

Yes, when we sing: we bring our own sound system and need a power outlet within 3 metres (10 feet) of where we set up. Strings and harp play unplugged, so we need nothing at all. Your Band Manager will check the details.

Can your strings play modern songs?

Yes. We play from a library of almost 1,000 arrangements of today's biggest songs, written exclusively by us, so you can hear your favourite songs on strings. New arrangements can be added with enough notice, and a new String Quartet arrangement may involve a small music preparation fee.

Do you play outdoor ceremonies in Toronto?

All the time, in gardens, courtyards and on lawns by the lake. Our instruments can't play in rain, cold or harsh summer sun, so give us a covered, shaded spot and plan an indoor backup with your venue, just in case.

Do you play church ceremonies?

Yes, and a church ceremony with live strings is something special. Think of the prelude as your guests find their seats, a trio playing something gentle and familiar, then the music building with every step toward the person waiting for you. We're happy to play hymns, candle lighting and Communion too, and a harp or a singer sounds just as beautiful under a high ceiling.

Do you play on the Toronto Islands?

We'd love to. Everything travels by ferry or water taxi, including our instruments, so allow a little extra time either side of the ceremony. The ferry is part of our quote, and your Band Manager will help you plan the timing.

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as your date and venue are set. Saturday nights are always snapped up first.
We're often booked up to 12 months ahead. If your wedding is sooner, it's still worth asking. Call (647) 694 0999 or send us an inquiry.
