Holly N. Sent on 06/25/2024City Wedding with String Trio and 5-person Band
Red Soda Band exceeded our expectations! Jeremy was our coordinator. He was very attentive and quick to respond. When we asked to switch some songs on the set list to accommodate our guests, Jeremy and the band went above and beyond.
-Our wedding started with a string trio. It was a perfect way to welcome our guests for our outside city wedding.
-The cocktail hour and reception were so fun because of the great vibes from the band. Everyone was dancing the whole time and our guests are still talking about the band! Our singers, Ben and Stephanie, were incredible and we definitely recommend them for any event!! -

We had a solo guitarist who took us right through from the ceremony to the dance floor, and he nailed it! The vibe he created was spot on at both ends of the energy spectrum (and everything in between) and the attention to detail with the specific song requests we made were amazing. Really good feedback from all of our guests as well. I highly recommend these guys! -

Red Soda Band was exactly what we were looking for when it came to our wedding! They offered so many choices for our ceremony and cocktail hour and the music was phenomenal. Not only that, but the band members themselves were some of the kindest people we've ever met. Before our ceremony, they even played a little private concert for my nephew featuring hits like 'Baby Shark' and 'Wheels on the Bus.' Our guests were raving about them after the wedding and we couldn't agree more. -

Stellar Evening of Music!
Red Soda was the PERFECT fit for our restaurant wedding. We were matched with Daniel (guitar/DJ) and Claudius (violin). The duo played lovely music while guests were seated, the songs we requested for precessional/recessional, super fun tunes during cocktail hour, and created such a good vibes at the post-dinner reception. They were so talented and personable–everybody raved about them!
Adam, the band manager, was great to work with and we *really* appreciate the Daniel-Claudius pairing he put together for us. FYI we found that phone calls, as opposed to emailing, was the best way to get the event set up and details confirmed.
Bottom line: we are thrilled we had Red Soda Band at our wedding! -

Jessica Sent on 10/12/2022Amazing guitarist
We hired Red Soda to provide live solo guitar music for our cocktail hour and dinner and DJ for the remainder of the night. They also set up our PR system on a very windy day on the beach for our ceremony. Jake was great and the set up went smoothly despite the wind. He wasn't able to play as much as we would have liked due to the wind but what he did play was amazing and I think he did a great job reading the vibe of the room and knowing when to transition to DJ music to keep people dancing.
Throughout the planning process we sometimes had trouble getting in touch but it all worked out in the end and we loved our wedding music. Would definitely reccomend! -

Red Soda Band was absolutely excellent! Daniel played the acoustic guitar for our ceremony and cocktail hour and he was wonderful. We also had a 5 piece band for our reception which was perfect for our 115 guest wedding. The entire band was awesome and had everybody out on the dance floor! IIdrys and Daniel have beautiful voices and the band played so well together. Communication was a little tough a few months before the wedding, but everything worked out perfectly despite that. Highly recommend Red Soda Band! -

We hired Red Soda band for our wedding and they were great! They kept everyone up and dancing the whole time, and played all of our favorite songs.
They were super responsive during the planning process, and even worked with us when we wanted to add in a hora a few weeks before the wedding.
My one piece of feedback would be to encourage them to ask the bride and groom, or day of coordinator, or maid of honor or best man if they have any questions regarding timeline, speeches, etc. It was a little embarrassing when the lead singer said in the microphone to our guests that he didn't have the order of the speeches. People laughed it off so it was okay, but I wish they had asked us.
Overall, I would absolutely recommend them!! -

First the good and excellent. The string quartet was amazing. I grew up playing violin and played in a quartet for weddings growing up. They were perfect and exceeded expectations despite it being a 95 degree day. They were an excellent value for our money and made the ceremony memorable.
Then the band came on for the reception. Everyone in the band seemed like they had good intentions and were good people. I also believe that in the right settings they are very good musicians individually. They were also professional when I regrettably had to ask them to not play their last set because the performance was so poor.
Throughout the night they had poor pacing, playing upbeat songs too slow, it just didn't feel right. The balance of the instruments and the vocals were way off where we could barely hear the lead singer, sometimes for entire songs. They had large breaks between many songs lasting greater than 30 seconds making it look like they didn't really have a set plan. They didn't play the few pre requested songs that we had asked for cake cutting, my wife and my entrance songs, and our bridal party entrance.
We also didn't get either of the singers we had requested over a year in advance for our wedding day. We were only informed that one of them wasn't going to be there a week or two prior. Then the night of we noticed neither singer we requested originally was there. Adam unfortunately did not live up to our expectations in helping us as the big day approached. Rather than coming up with a setlist which we were given a huge list to choose from over a year in advance, he asked us a few of our favorite songs to "set the vibe". When you are paying nearly 7k for a professional band you should be able to have a bigger say in song choice than "picking a vibe." We were particularly discouraged because my wife and I had spent many hours listening to their entire list of songs they sent over a year ago and we researched every single one of the 150+ songs on that list, yet Adam couldn't use that to create our setlist. There were times where Adam would get right back to us with responses but there were many other times emails would go unanswered for months at a time. It felt like they just threw a bunch of musicians with little experience playing together into our event. As a musician who works long hours and spent big on this group counting on them to give us an unforgettable experience, I was really disappointed and deeply regret not choosing a wedding band with a crew the consistently practices together. My best advice is think very carefully before selecting this group. If they had showed up earlier or days in advance to test the venue and balance, maybe it wouldn't have been as bad. We are less than an hour outside Boston and they just show up for the show and go for it. That being said, I would use their string quartet again in a heartbeat.
Full disclosure: I did reach out to Adam after the event and he apologized and gave back ~700$ and offered for us to have the string quartet come for some other event for one hour free of charge. I did not agree with this as we didn't have any live music for the last hour and a half of our evening and just played music of our own choosing on the loud speaker which was the best part of the reception. Adam seemed genuine and apologized personally and told us that the band agreed that it was a very off show for a number of reasons. Choose wisely.
