Stories from Boston’s Top Wedding Band: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Boston weddings are full of unforgettable moments—and no one sees more of them than the band. At Red Soda Band, we’ve seen it all: the romantic, the chaotic, and the downright hilarious. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at some of our favorite wedding stories.

The Good – A Love Story for the Ages

We once played a wedding where both the bride and groom were members of a professional choir. In a stunning surprise, they joined their choir to perform “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” The harmonies were flawless, and not a single guest had a dry eye. It reminded us why we do what we do.

The Bad – The Cake Catastrophe

During a reception, we noticed a beautifully stacked cake beginning to lean… and then it happened—it toppled. Frosting everywhere. To ease the shock, we launched into “Sugar Pie Honey Bunch.” Guests laughed, sang along, and turned the disaster into one of the night’s most joyful moments.

The Ugly – Costume Party Crashers

At a Roaring Twenties-themed wedding, a group of uninvited guests in superhero costumes wandered in from another event. Picture Batman doing the Charleston with confused flappers. It was chaotic—and completely unforgettable.

Final Thought – It’s Never Just Another Gig

Whether it’s a tear-jerking first dance, an accidental cake explosion, or surprise party crashers, our job is to keep the energy high and the vibe alive. These stories remind us that no two weddings are ever the same—and that’s exactly what makes them so magical.
