What Is a Five-Piece Band?

A lead singer on guitar, a second singer, keys, bass and drums. It's our Four-Piece Band with one big addition: another voice.

Most couples pair a male and a female singer. Choose the singers you love from the videos, your Band Manager confirms your singers are available, and we build the band around those voices.

What Does a Second Singer Add to the Dance Floor?

It's the biggest jump in sound, and in look, from the Four-Piece: one voice holding the song while the other is free to leave the mic.

We trade verses and share the big choruses, switching between male and female hits so every guest hears a song they love. One of us steps off and pulls your friends onto the floor, and that's how it stays full from beginning to end.

What Kind of Venue Suits a Five-Piece Band?

A Five-Piece Band fills a ballroom dance floor, yet sits just as happily in a restaurant or a barn.

We never need a stage, whatever the band size. Two singers out front make any room feel like a party.

Which Band Size? Four, Five or Six

The difference is who's singing, and what's out front.

How Does the Night Flow With Two Singers?

With two singers, the night has two gears: harmonies over dinner, a duet if you want one, then both voices out front when the floor opens.

Cocktail hour and dinner. Two voices, one song: harmonies drifting over the tables while your guests find their seats.

Your first dance. Played live. Pick a duet and both singers can share it.

The dance floor. Two voices out front and the whole floor singing I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Whitney Houston) back at us, the energy climbing right to the last song.

Live music across your five-hour reception, our Spotify playlist or yours between sets.

What Songs Sound Best With Two Singers?

Duets and huge choruses shine. A few moments from our Five-Piece Band videos:

  • "Mr Brightside" (The Killers). Two singers lead while the whole room shouts the chorus.
  • "Bang Bang" (Jessie J, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj). Voices trade lines, just like the record.
  • "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" (Whitney Houston). Harmonies lift the last chorus.

They come 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.

Two voices sharing the big choruses, and a dance floor that never once sits empty.

COUPLES SAY OUR FIVE-PIECE BAND WITH SAX WAS THE BEST DECISION THEY MADE

  • “We used Red Soda for our wedding in Boston, and it was the best decision we made! We had a 5-piece band, including a saxophonist, and they were phenomenal. All night our guests commented on how well they played together!”

Five-Piece Band: Frequently Asked Questions

How many musicians are in a Five-Piece Band?

Five: a lead singer on guitar, a second singer, keys, bass and drums. It's our Four-Piece Band plus one big addition, another voice. Most couples pair a male and a female singer, so one voice holds the song while the other is free to leave the mic and pull your friends onto the floor.

How much does a five-piece wedding band cost?

From $4,700 for a five-hour Boston reception, with travel within about 18 miles of Boston included. Ferries and accommodation are extra if your venue needs them, and parking is added unless your venue has free parking. Add the Acoustic Vocal Duo for your ceremony and a package discount applies automatically. The price you see in the Package Builder is the price you pay.

Can we swap an instrument?

Often, yes. It depends on which instruments are in your line-up, so ask your Band Manager early, before you send your song choices. Tell us the songs you can't do without and we'll tell you straight which swaps will work and which would change the sound you fell for in the videos. Love sax? That's the Six-Piece Band, one step up.

Do you need a stage?

No. We never need a stage, whatever the band size. Five of us set up on the floor with two singers out front, which makes any room feel like a party, and we bring our own sound system, suited to rooms of up to about 200 guests.

We just need a power outlet within 10 feet of the band. If you'd like a stage, the minimum for a Five-Piece Band is about 10 x 13 ft (3 x 4 m).

Can we have male and female singers?

Yes. Most couples choose one of each, so every guest hears the songs they love, sung the way they know them. We trade verses, share the big choruses and switch between male and female hits all night. Pick a duet for your first dance and both singers can share it. Choose your two voices in the Package Builder, and your Band Manager confirms your singers are available.

How long does the band play?

Live music right across your five-hour reception, with our Spotify playlist or yours between sets. With two singers, the night has two gears: harmonies drifting over the tables while your guests eat, a duet for your first dance if you want one, then both voices out front when the floor opens, with the energy climbing right to the last song.

Can we add a sax?

Yes. The Six-Piece Band adds sax to this line-up, out in the crowd for the big solos. Sax on top of two voices makes the big choruses bigger, and it's the instrument couples tell us not to skip. Watch the Six-Piece videos in the Package Builder and see the price for your date instantly.

Can the band play our ceremony too?

Yes. The Acoustic Vocal Duo brings two voices to the aisle, with duets made for your walk toward the person you're about to marry, so the feeling of the ceremony carries right through to a packed dance floor. Book ceremony and reception together and a package discount is applied automatically.
