Boston Wedding Music Packages – Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Boston wedding music package cost?

Ceremony music starts from $550, reception music from $2,150, and both together from about $2,450, with travel to your venue included. Booking your ceremony and reception together applies a package discount automatically, and the Package Builder shows your price as you go.

What's included in a Red Soda Boston wedding music package?

Live music for every part of your day you choose: your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, your key moments and the dance floor. Your Band Manager plans the music with you, and we bring our own sound system. Your first dance, played live. Your grand entrance and cake cutting, right on cue. Then a band, a DJ or both, reading the room until the floor won't empty. Want an MC? Just ask.

Can I book ceremony and reception music together?

Yes, and most couples do. You get one Band Manager across both and a package discount applied automatically, and the feeling of the ceremony carries straight through to the dance floor. Strings and a singer at the aisle, then a full band at night; or an Acoustic Singer at your ceremony and a DJ with live sax on the floor. Either way, it's one team, no juggling vendors.

What's the best wedding music package for 100 guests in Boston?

Our Crowd of 100 idea is a great start: an Acoustic Vocal Duo for cocktails and dinner, then a Five-Piece Band for the dance floor. Add strings for the ceremony if you'd like us at the aisle too, first note to last song.

How far in advance should I book a Boston wedding music package?

As soon as your venue is confirmed. Saturdays and fall foliage weekends are always snapped up first.
We're often booked up to 12 months ahead. Wedding coming up sooner? It's still worth asking, because your Band Manager can check what's possible.

Can I customize the songs in my wedding music package?

Yes. Choose your songs for the ceremony and your key reception moments, and we'll play them live. For strings, we play from almost 1,000 arrangements, and a new String Quartet arrangement may involve a small music preparation fee. Your entrance, cake cutting, first dance and parent dances are where you leave your fingerprints on the night; the dance floor is where we read the room. Send your list, and any songs to avoid, about 8 weeks before.
