Ontario Wedding Band: Live Music for Your Ceremony, Reception and Dance Floor
Great music creates great moments.

Ontario Wedding Venues We Travel To
We love a road trip out of the city. Vineyard lawns, lakeside lodges, barns and gardens:
- Niagara wine country: Ravine Vineyard, Château des Charmes, Pillar and Post, Vineland Estates
- Muskoka: Windermere House, JW Marriott The Rosseau, Sherwood Inn, Deerhurst Resort
- Prince Edward County: Drake Devonshire, Grange of Prince Edward, Waupoos Estates Winery
- Collingwood and Blue Mountain: The Westin Trillium House, Living Water Resort
- Hamilton and Burlington: Royal Botanical Gardens, the Cotton Factory
- The Kawarthas: Viamede Resort and Elmhirst's Resort
Picture a String Quartet among the vines, then a Seven-Piece Band filling the floor at Windermere House.
Live Wedding Music Options for Your Ontario Wedding
One booking for the ceremony and the reception, with one Band Manager the whole way through.
Ceremony Music
A quartet on a vineyard lawn, or your song sung live as the lake goes still behind you. Strings, harp or a singer: your choice. Our strings play almost 1,000 arrangements of today's biggest songs, written exclusively by us.
INSTRUMENTAL OPTIONS
VOCAL OPTIONS
Reception Music
A long day in wine country and nobody's tired. We know the song that gets the whole barn up after dinner, and the one that keeps them there until the lights come on.

Ceremony and Reception Together
Many couples marrying outside Toronto book us for the ceremony as well as the reception. Your ceremony violinist might join the band later, so the goosebumps from the aisle are still in the room at the last song.

Why Ontario Couples Choose Red Soda
Fall in love with a voice first. Your Band Manager confirms that singer is available, and the band takes shape around them.
The training is the Glenn Gould School, Humber College and Juilliard. Some of us have played with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and some with Stevie Wonder and Ed Sheeran.
And we travel well. Find the voice you love in the Package Builder, over 30 hours of video, then picture it on the lawn at Ravine or the dock at Windermere House.

What to Know About Wedding Music in Ontario
Allow for travel time. From Toronto: Hamilton about an hour, Niagara 1.5 hours, the Kawarthas 1.5 to 2, Collingwood 2, Muskoka 2 to 2.5, the County 2.5 to 3.
Have a weather plan. Storms roll in fast off the lakes, so book a covered backup early.
Strings play unamplified. For around 100 guests on an open lawn, a String Quartet fills the space best. Amplified options need power within 3 metres (10 feet).
Check your venue's music curfew. Many finish amplified music early, especially in cottage country.
Book early for summer and fall. Fall colour weekends go first.
Thinking about winter? Blue Mountain and Muskoka resorts make lovely snowy backdrops.
About Ontario
Southern Ontario is wedding country: Niagara-on-the-Lake and Twenty Valley wineries, Muskoka and Kawartha cottages, Prince Edward County farms and Georgian Bay. Fall colour peaks in late September and October.

Ontario Wedding Music: Frequently Asked Questions
Does Red Soda travel to Niagara, Muskoka and Prince Edward County?
Yes. We travel to weddings right across Ontario, including Niagara-on-the-Lake, Muskoka, Prince Edward County, Collingwood and Blue Mountain, Hamilton, Burlington and the Kawarthas. We love a road trip out of the city: a String Quartet among the vines at Ravine, or a Seven-Piece Band filling the floor at Windermere House. Tell your Band Manager the venue and we'll plan the day around it.
How much does a wedding band cost in Ontario?
Ceremony music starts from about $690 and reception music from about $2,500. Book both together and a package discount applies, bringing the two from about $2,880. Travel is quoted on top for venues outside Toronto, and your Band Manager confirms it with your quote. All prices include HST, and the Package Builder shows your price as you build.
Do we need to pay for the band's accommodation?
Rarely. For most Ontario venues no accommodation is needed. When a venue is far enough away that it is, your Band Manager tells you before you book and includes it in your quote, so there are no surprises. Either way, we're set up and ready before your first guest walks in, and we play until the last song of the night.
How far in advance should I book wedding music in Ontario?
As soon as your venue is confirmed. Saturday nights are always snapped up first.
We're often booked up to 12 months ahead. Summer and fall-colour weekends fill fastest, so it's worth asking early, even if your date feels far away.
What ceremony music works best for a vineyard or lakeside ceremony?
Go by your guests: a Violin + Cello Duo for up to about 50, a String Trio for about 80, a String Quartet for around 100. 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 one band cover our ceremony and reception?
Yes. One booking can cover your ceremony, cocktails, dinner and dance floor. Many of us play more than one role, so one band covers the lot. Book both together and a package discount is applied automatically in the Package Builder.
Do Ontario venues have music curfews?
Many do, especially for outdoor amplified music in wine country and cottage country. Finish times vary from venue to venue, so check yours early. Your Band Manager will plan your reception timeline around it, so the last song still packs the floor.
Can we choose our own songs?
Yes. Choose your songs for the key moments, like your walk down the aisle and your first dance, and we'll play them live. Our strings play almost 1,000 arrangements, and new ones can be added with enough notice. Song choices are due 8 weeks before the wedding.
