Ceremony Music

Picture a meadow with the Green Mountains behind you. The first notes drift across the grass, and your guests turn. The songs are yours to choose; playing them live is ours.

We 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

Barn floors were made for this. We play your first dance live, and from there the old beams start shaking. Months later, your guests will still be talking about it.

Ceremony and Reception Together

Most couples book us for the ceremony as well as the reception, and in Vermont it just makes sense. We play your ceremony and carry that feeling right through dinner and onto the dance floor. Your violinist might join the band later, or your acoustic singer might become your DJ.

Want an MC or something a little different? Just ask.

Why Vermont Couples Choose Red Soda

Choose the singer you love. Your Band Manager confirms your singer is available, and we build the band around them. We play weddings together every weekend, and you'll hear it from the first song.

We're full-time and degree-qualified, from Berklee, New England Conservatory and Juilliard. Some of us have played with the Boston Symphony Orchestra and performed with Stevie Wonder, Ed Sheeran, Justin Timberlake, Michael Bublé, Daft Punk, Meghan Trainor, Pat Benatar, Il Divo, Lionel Richie and Paul McCartney (The Beatles).

COUPLES SAY THE MUSIC WAS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY AND MADE THEM EMOTIONAL

  • “I hired the violin and cello duo for my home wedding in late October. They arrived on time, were charming and played beautifully! Thank you for adding the perfect touch to my wedding and making it that much more memorable.”

What to Know About Wedding Music in Vermont

  1. Plan for the weather. Vermont weather changes fast, and mountain evenings get cold even in summer. Book us a covered spot and a backup early.

  2. Barns and tents need power. Many receptions are in a barn or under a tent. Leave room for the band, with power within 10 feet.

  3. Strings play unamplified. For around 100 guests in an open meadow, a String Quartet fills the space best.

  4. Check your venue's music finish time. Many venues stop amplified music at a set time, especially outdoors. We'll plan around it.

  5. Allow for travel time. Southern Vermont and Woodstock are about 2.5 hours from Boston, and Stowe and Lake Champlain closer to 3.5.

  6. Book early for fall foliage. Vermont's famous color peaks in late September and October, and Saturdays and fall foliage weekends are always snapped up first.

About Vermont

Vermont is in the northwest of New England, about 3 hours from Boston. The Green Mountains run down its middle, with Lake Champlain on its western edge. It's known for farms, covered bridges, maple syrup and ski towns like Stowe, and its fall foliage draws visitors from all over the world.

Vermont Wedding Music: Frequently Asked Questions

Does Red Soda travel to Vermont?

Yes. We're based in Boston and play weddings across Vermont, including Stowe, Woodstock, Manchester and the Mad River Valley. Most venues are about 3 hours away. Southern Vermont and Woodstock are about 2.5 hours from Boston, Stowe and Lake Champlain closer to 3.5. Trapp Family Lodge, Shelburne Farms, a barn in the Mad River Valley: it's a drive we love, especially once the maples start turning.

How much does a wedding band cost in Vermont?

Ceremony music for Vermont venues starts from about $760, and reception music from about $2,360. Travel to your venue is included. Book both together and a package discount is applied automatically. The price you see in the Package Builder is the price you pay.

Do we need to pay for your accommodations?

Only if your venue needs it, and most don't. If a Vermont wedding needs accommodations, your Band Manager tells you before you book, so there are no surprises. A late finish under the beams in Stowe or on Lake Champlain is the kind of night that sometimes does, and it's priced up front with everything else.

When is the best time for a Vermont wedding?

June to October is peak season. Summer is perfect for farm and lake weddings, and late September and October bring fall foliage. Saturdays and fall foliage weekends are always snapped up first.
We're often booked up to 12 months ahead.

Can you play a barn wedding?

Yes. Barn receptions are some of our favorite Vermont weddings, with the whole room singing along under the beams. We need a covered space for the band and power within 10 feet. We never need a stage, so even a snug barn works. Leave us a corner with the power nearby, and the old beams start shaking from the first chorus.

What ceremony music works best for an outdoor farm or mountain ceremony?

A Violin + Cello Duo suits up to about 50 guests, a String Trio about 80, and a String Quartet around 100. With vocals, we bring our own sound system. Give us a covered spot and an indoor backup in case of rain or cold.

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 a package discount is applied automatically. In Vermont it just makes sense: a meadow ceremony with the Green Mountains behind you, cider on the lawn, then the barn. We carry the feeling from the first notes across the grass to the last song under the beams.

Can we choose our own songs?

Yes. Choose songs for the key moments, like your walk down the aisle and first dance, and we'll play them live. We're very flexible on song choices. A new String Quartet arrangement may involve a small music preparation fee. Think about the moment as much as the song: the first notes across the grass as your guests turn, your first dance under the beams, the last song with everyone on the floor.
