About

On WeddingWire since 2010

In SODA you’ll find exactly what you need to get the party started. Formed in 2008, this all-star lineup has quickly become one of Chicago’s most booked and beloved bands. If you like variety in your musical experience, you’ll find that Soda captures the heart and soul of one of the most diverse play lists you’ll find anywhere.

What’s your flavor? Because you’ll get everything all the time with Soda. From Sinatra to Bruno Mars, and from Patsy Cline to Dua Lipa, this band can do it all. Multiple lead singers, each with distinctive styles, work to bring authenticity to all your favorite songs. The possibilities are endless. Classic Rock, Country, Motown, Disco, Hip-Hop, Reggae, Alternative–the list goes on and on.

When you gotta dance Soda has the tunes to get your family and friends on the dance floor and keep them there the whole night long. There is nothing quite like the energy of a real band, and it's like a gift you give your guests that let them know how much they mean to you as they help celebrate your special day. Your reception will be memorable and they'll be talking about THAT BAND you choose for years to come!

Bandleader Rob Loar has assembled an all star team of great Chicago musicians, and will personally assist in helping you plan your reception. From music choices, to the timeline he can offer plenty of advice based on years of experience. And his day of coordination with the venue, and being there to provide all emcee duties are worth so much for that added little bit of peace of mind.

LOVED! Couldn't have asked for a better band!

SODA was amazing! They were so patient and attentive during the whole planning processes and we could not have asked for anything better. They played the perfect music and the dance floor was packed the whole night, guests could not stop complimenting how amazing they were. If you are looking for a wedding band, look no further and book SODA as soon as you can!

Trust in SODA!

We heard about SODA through the preferred vendor list at our venue... a little bit later we saw the band play at a bar in Carol Stream. They had the whole bar up dancing. In that moment, we knew we could trust them to soundtrack our wedding (December 2023). Our trust was vindicated, and then some.

Rob Loar is so easy to work with. He's attentive, willing to cater to special requests (like a song I had the band learn), and eminently professional. Again, I trusted in the band's experience and familiarity with the venue. Day of, I didn't have to do a thing to make sure the band was ready to go - they always were.

And then, the reception itself... I cannot count how many guests approached me and my wife to compliment us on the band. The setlist - perfect. The sound - perfect. The energy - high. EVERYBODY was dancing, having fun, loving the music. There were new songs and old songs, fast songs and slow songs, songs for everybody. We could have danced all night, but even still, when the party ended, everybody also felt like they met their dancing quota.

Trust in SODA. They've got the experience and the expertise to rock your wedding. They've got the professionalism and reliability to take the stress off. I can't recommend this band enough.

Spectacular

We received countless compliments from our from our friends and family about how incredible the band was, and we couldn't agree more. Your professionalism, talent, and ability to engage the crowd are unparalleled. Having your band play at all our children's weddings has become a cherished tradition, and your performance this past weekend was nothing short of spectacular. We appreciated your flexibility in accommodating the requests and ensuring that every detail was perfect from the ceremony instrumental music, to first dance songs and reception music. Thank you so much for making this day a dream come true for our daughter and her spouse.
