Many Red Soda musicians have performed on some of the world’s biggest stages alongside internationally renowned artists. Today, they bring that same experience, professionalism and passion to weddings and events across Boston.
What Makes a Red Soda Wedding DJ Different?
Our DJs are live musicians first. We sing, play guitar or piano, and DJ. We know your songs because we've played them live, and we read the room like performers: when to lift the energy, and when to let a moment breathe. The person filling your dance floor has been with you since the first drink, so you never have to brief a stranger at 9pm.
You also deal with one Band Manager for your ceremony, live music and DJ. One plan, one timeline.
Which Wedding DJ Option Is Right for Us?
There are three ways to book a Red Soda DJ, and each one brings more live energy to the dance floor. Every option is a five-hour booking.
| Option | Who's playing | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| One-Piece DJ Combo | A singer on guitar or piano who plays live, then DJs | Intimate venues and relaxed receptions with your first dance sung live |
| Two-Piece DJ Combo | The singer-DJ plus a live sax player or electric violinist on the dance floor | Couples who want the party to feel live, sax in the crowd |
| Three-Piece DJ Combo | A DJ plus live sax and a trumpet or electric violin | The biggest DJ party we play, with two live players on the floor |
The Two-Piece DJ Combo is one of our most popular reception options. The sax player steps into the middle of your guests and the whole floor lifts. Couples' advice to each other? Don't skip the sax. For a Three-Piece DJ Combo, just ask your Band Manager.

Can Our DJ Also Be Our MC?
Yes, you can add an MC to any DJ option. Your MC runs the announcements, speeches and formalities, and keeps the night on time, so you can stay in the moment with the people you love.
Ask your Band Manager about adding an MC to your Boston wedding.
How Much Does a Wedding DJ Cost?
Your first dance sung live, then the same voice on the decks and a dance floor that's never empty, all in one five-hour booking.
A Red Soda wedding DJ in Boston starts from $2,150 with the One-Piece DJ Combo, live music included. The price you see in the Package Builder is the price you pay.
Add ceremony music and the feeling carries right through. A Violin + Cello Duo for your ceremony plus the One-Piece DJ Combo:
from $2,690 together.
Do You Take Song Requests?
Yes. Your playlist comes first: your must-plays, your first dance and your do-not-play list. On the night, we're happy to take guest requests that suit the dance floor.
The best nights feel like they were built around you, because they were. We know the songs that pull every generation onto the floor, and we weave your must-plays in at just the right moment, so you hear your song and look up to see everyone you love singing along.
What Does the DJ Need at the Venue?
We bring our own sound system and never need a stage. We need a covered spot and power close by.
Power within 10 feet of our setup. Outdoors, we need cover from rain, cold and storms.
For more than 200 guests, we'd normally recommend extra sound support, and we can help arrange it. Check your venue's music finish time early, and we'll build your timeline around it.

COUPLES SAY OUR DJ READ THE ROOM AND KEPT EVERYONE DANCING ALL NIGHT
“Planning was so supportive, and it was even better when he DJed our reception! I'm not usually a dancer, and I told him this, but I danced all night. Super fun and a great choice of songs. We had a blast!”

Wedding DJ: Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a wedding DJ cost?
From $2,150 for a five-hour Boston reception with the One-Piece DJ Combo, including live music and travel within about 18 miles of Boston. Venues further out cost a little more, and ferries, accommodation and paid parking are extra. Book ceremony music too and a package discount applies automatically.
Can we book a DJ only, without live music?
Not with us, and couples are glad of it: every Red Soda DJ is also a live musician, so live music through dinner and for your first dance comes with every DJ booking. Couples tell us it's the part their guests remember: the first dance sung live, then the same person lifting the whole room onto the dance floor.
Do we need an MC as well as a DJ?
Most weddings need someone to keep the night on track. Add an MC and that's off your hands: your MC runs the announcements, speeches and formalities and keeps everything on time, so you're on the dance floor with the people you love instead of checking the clock. Couples tell us it's one less thing to worry about.
Ask your Band Manager about adding an MC.
How long does a wedding DJ play?
Every reception booking is five hours. That covers live music as guests arrive and through dinner, your first dance sung live, then DJing right up to your finish time. Tell us your venue's music finish time, and we'll build the night around it.
Can we add live sax or violin to the DJ?
Yes, and couples tell us the sax was a huge hit. The Two-Piece DJ Combo puts a sax player or electric violinist out on the floor with your guests while the DJ keeps the beat going. For sax plus a trumpet or electric violin, ask about the Three-Piece DJ Combo.
Can the DJ play our ceremony too?
Yes. Your singer-DJ can sing you down the aisle live, then carry that feeling all the way to the last song. Or add strings, harp or another singer for the ceremony. Watch every ceremony option in the Package Builder before you choose.
How do we book our wedding DJ?
Build your package in the Package Builder and see your price instantly. Your Band Manager confirms we're available for your date, and your deposit secures it. Song choices are due 8 weeks before the wedding. We're often booked up to 12 months ahead.
Or call (617) 865 2929.
