Live Wedding Music Options for Your Massachusetts Wedding

One booking can cover your ceremony and your reception. One less thing to worry about.

Ceremony Music

The prelude drifting across a lawn above the sea. Your entrance, building with every step toward the person waiting for you. The cheer as you walk back up the aisle, married.

Our strings 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.

INSTRUMENTAL OPTIONS

VOCAL OPTIONS

Reception Music

The sax steps out and nobody sits down. That's the night we play for: sand still on someone's shoes, your first dance played live, and every generation up for the last hour.

Ceremony and Reception Together

Most Massachusetts couples book us for the ceremony as well as the reception. We play your ceremony and carry that feeling right through to the dance floor.

On the Cape or in the Berkshires, many of us play more than one role: your ceremony violinist might join the band later, or your acoustic singer might become your DJ. See our wedding music packages.

Why Massachusetts Couples Choose Red Soda

Choose the singer you love, and your Band Manager confirms they're available. We're full-time, degree-qualified musicians from Berklee, New England Conservatory and Juilliard, and some of us have played with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Between us, we've performed with Stevie Wonder, Ed Sheeran, Justin Timberlake, Michael Bublé, Daft Punk, Lionel Richie and Paul McCartney (The Beatles). And we've never missed a wedding we were booked for.

MASSACHUSETTS COUPLES SAY PEOPLE KEPT ASKING HOW THEY FOUND THE BAND

  • “They played at our wedding in Plymouth, MA. The acoustic music during cocktail hour was perfect, and the reception dance music brought all our guests to the dance floor. We got so many compliments, and people kept asking how we found them!”

What to Know About Wedding Music in Massachusetts

  1. Book early. Saturdays and fall foliage weekends, especially in the Berkshires, are always snapped up first.
    We're often booked up to 12 months ahead.

  2. Plan for the weather. Our instruments can't play in rain, cold or storms, and sea breezes can be strong. Plan cover and a backup.

  3. Tents are common on the Cape and North Shore. Bands and DJs need power within 10 feet of where we set up.

  4. Island weddings. Ferry costs and lodging for Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard are charged on top of your quote.

About Massachusetts

Massachusetts is the most populous state in New England, with Boston as its capital. Beyond the city lie its history-filled towns, the beaches of the North Shore and Cape Cod, the islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, and the hills of the Berkshires.

Massachusetts Wedding Music: Frequently Asked Questions

Does Red Soda travel across Massachusetts?

Yes. We play weddings right across the state, including the North Shore, the South Shore, Cape Cod, the Islands, central Massachusetts and the Berkshires. The North Shore is under an hour from Boston, the Cape 1.5 to 2 hours and the Berkshires about 2.5. Accommodations, if ever needed, aren't included.

How much does a wedding band cost in Massachusetts?

Ceremony music for Massachusetts venues starts from $550, and reception music from $2,150. Travel to your venue is included. Book both together and a package discount applies. The price you see in the Package Builder is the price you pay.

How far in advance should we book wedding music in Massachusetts?

As soon as your venue is confirmed. We're often booked up to 12 months ahead, and June to October fills fastest. Saturdays and fall foliage weekends in the Berkshires are always snapped up first. Summer on the Cape and the Islands sits right in that window, and island weddings need extra planning for ferries, so the earlier we know your date, the easier it all is.

What ceremony music works best for a beach or lawn ceremony?

It depends on your guest numbers. A Violin + Cello Duo suits up to about 50 guests, a String Trio about 80, and a String Quartet around 100 on an open lawn. For vocals, we bring our own sound system. We need cover and a backup in case of rain.

Do you play weddings on Cape Cod?

Yes. We travel right across the Cape, from the Canal to Chatham. Couples love Chatham Bars Inn, Wequassett Resort in Harwich and Ocean Edge Resort in Brewster. Picture a beach ceremony as the breeze drops, then a tent on the lawn and a floor that stays full to the last song. Tents are common here, so leave us room and power within 10 feet.

Can you play Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard?

Yes. Island weddings take a little more planning. Ferry costs and lodging are charged on top of your quote, and your Band Manager will talk you through them before you book. Getting us and our gear across means working around the ferry schedule, so that's the thing to settle first. Then picture the ceremony at White Elephant on Nantucket or the Harbor View Hotel in Edgartown, and the ferry ride becomes part of the story.

Can one band cover our ceremony and reception?

Yes. One booking can cover your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dance floor. Many of us play more than one role, and booking your ceremony and reception together gets a package discount automatically. On the Cape or in the Berkshires, that means one timeline, one Band Manager, and some of the faces from your aisle song back on stage for your first dance.

Can we choose our own songs?

Yes. Choose songs for your key moments and we'll play them live. Our strings play from almost 1,000 arrangements written exclusively by us, and new ones can be added with enough notice. A new String Quartet arrangement may involve a small music preparation fee.
