    A night to remember, thanks to Royal Dukes Band!

    Royal Dukes Band are outstanding! We saw them perform in a showcase here in San Antonio , and the minute they started playing we decided to book them. So glad we did! Their sound is exceptional. So easy to communicate with, asked our preferences, played our favorite songs. Our daughter’s wedding was last weekend and the dance floor was full ALL NIGHT up to the last song! Our friends and family loved the amazing talent and the range of music they played. From young people to grandparents everyone enjoyed it all. Fantastic vocals , top musicians, range of songs, the best !! We have received so many compliments on the band. You made the celebration a night to remember. We had the 9 piece band and would highly recommend it.

    Thank you Royal Dukes Band, you are definitely phenomenal!!!

    Amazing - hire immediately!

    The Royal Dukes were amazing and made such an impact at making our wedding full of fun and dancing non-stop! Jordan worked with us every step of the way to understand all of the details and to make the best decision in what to select from them.
    We hired the 10 piece band and it was the best decision - three singers and the horns section! So many guests have commented how amazing the band was. We had about 5 specific song requests outside of special dance (first dance and father & mother) and they nailed those special songs, and then the rest of the night they absolutely kept the party going and kept the guests on the dance floor. The Royal Dukes absolutely made this a perfect and unforgettable night for us and it would NOT have been the same without them! Highly highly recommend and love the Royal Dukes!

    Best Wedding Band EVER!

    I’ve booked the Royal Dukes Band TWICE-once in 2021 and about two weeks ago, May 2023 - for both my daughter’s weddings! They do an EXCELLENT job! If you book them, just let them do their magic. They read the crowd well and know just what to play to keep everyone dancing! Great job!

    Best Band Ever!

    If you are looking for a live band for your next special event, then you have to book the Royal Dukes Band! They certainly helped make our wedding reception extra special with their musical talents. It was so hard to leave the dance floor once they started playing. We had so many of our guests compliment their performance saying how they were so amazing and how our wedding was the best wedding they've been to. We definitely couldn't have done it without the Royal Dukes Band! Not only is this band extremely talented, but they are also SO WONDERFUL and easy to work with.

    Great Band

    We used the Royal Dukes band for both our daughter's wedding, one in May 2021 and the other in May 2023. The band was excellent at both weddings. I like that I could hire a 3 piece string group for the wedding ceremony and a 3 pice jazz group for the cocktail hour for a small additional fee. They have an easy to use website to input the wedding timeline. We used them as the MC. They do a great job of getting everyone on the dance floor.

    Trio and Royal Dukes Band

    The Royal Dukes was so upbeat and played so beautifully. The trio was absolutely amazing (ceremony and cocktail). They truly care about their clients and will go above and beyond. My guests and I loved them. They truly made the night so fun and unforgettable. They played at a friends wedding and after hearing them I knew I wanted them to play at mine when the time came. 10/10 recommend.

    Great Band!

    Royal Dukes made our wedding so much fun! They were great to work with leading up to the big day. They responded quick to our emails, had great advice and helped us pick out music. If you want everyone on the dance floor, I would highly recommend Royal Dukes!

    Professional, versatile & high-energy

    Royal Dukes Band was the first vendor that we hired for our wedding, and did the best job by FAR! They brought amazing energy to the night and got everyone on the dance floor from start to finish. Extremely professional / organized group -- we had several planning calls to make sure everything was perfect. Can accommodate just about any song / genre -- country, rock, alternative, etc. A steal at twice the price -- would absolutely hire again!

    The Royal Dukes Band Rocks!

    Once we attended one of the Royal Dukes Band's convenient monthly showcases, my husband and I knew they were THE band for our wedding. In terms of talent and genre, they offer just about everything you could possibly want. The communication is thorough, and your personalized planning site makes logistics and communication easy, and the day-of schedule super clear. We went with a 7-member band for our ~85 person wedding because the entertainment was where we decided to budget our funds, and it was a knockout! All the feedback we got from our wedding attendees included praise for how much fun the band was. We have dreams of throwing another party just to get to see them play again!

    Royal Dukes Band's reply:

    Hi Emri! Thanks so much for choosing us after coming to some of our showcases. It was wonderful working with you and we had a great time performing for you and your guests - we're so glad the 7-piece band worked for you! If you ever do throw another party, you know where to find us :)

    Great Band

    The band was great! They worked with us to give us the perfect experience for our wedding. We booked ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music with The Royal Dukes and they exceeded our expectations. The band members are very nice and engaging and extremely talented. Highly recommend.

    Royal Dukes Band's reply:

    Hi Meredith! We loved working with you to make the day of your dreams even more special! Thanks so much for choosing and recommending us. Wishing you nothing but the best!

    Excellent Band

    Royal Dukes played at Bailey and Jesse’s wedding 9.23.22 and they were absolutely awesome! All the wedding guest danced and loved the different types of music from classic Motown, county and pop. We highly recommend them for any event you have. We did 7 piece which was amazing! Staci and Jeff

    Royal Dukes Band's reply:

    Hi Staci! It's a pleasure working with you. We had so much fun performing at Bailey and Jesse's wedding last year! We appreciate your kind words and recommendation. Wish you and Jeff nothing but the best!

    Talented Professionals!

    I decided to splurge a bit more to hire a band instead of a standard DJ. I found the Royal Dukes band for my wedding in OKC and couldn't have made a better decision. They were amazing and I feel like they went above and beyond my expectations. They knew what they were doing and were extremely reliable. The whole process made me realize how professionals work and know how to ensure the night goes well. They understand weddings! I had specific music style requests and Tom from the Royal Dukes made it happen. The whole planning process was extremely organized. Tom reached out often and made sure we were on the same page. Every detail and expectations were clear. On the day of the wedding, they arrived, were really organized, and set up on time without any issues (that I know of). This was important because, as the bride, there was way too much going on that day but I didn't have to worry about the band. They had everything down so well. Again, Tom, Rod, and the rest of the band are such professionals and all so talented. I loved working with them, and enjoyed listening to them even more! We loved our wedding night and a large part of that credit goes to this band. So happy with Royal Dukes and definitely recommend!

    Royal Dukes are AWESOME!

    The Royal Dukes Band had our wedding guests on their feet all night! Ben was so helpful in the planning and origination process leading up to the wedding, and Trenton (MC) was so engaging with our guests! The band was the talk of the town after our wedding. They were accommodating to what we wanted to hear and read the room on what to play! They are organized, talented, and so much fun to have on your wedding day. I would highly recommend them to anyone! I really appreciate their professionalism, kindness, attentiveness, and pure joy throughout the entire process!

    Incredible Band!

    Royal Dukes played at our wedding on 7/14/22 and we can't recommend them enough! They had everyone of all ages on the dance floor and were incredibly personable, sweet, and amazing to work with. They nailed our music taste right on the head and kept the energy up the whole time. Live music really made the difference in our reception; if you're looking for something different than a DJ, this is your band!!!

    Royal Dukes Band's reply:

    Hi Avery!

    It's so good hearing from you! Can we just say, the feeling is mutual! Thanks for being so great to work with, and for throwing such an incredible party. We had so much fun dancing with ya'll!

    All the best to you!

    Amazing Job!

    These folks kicked so much ass!

    Booked Royal Dukes for our wedding a few weeks back, and they absolutely crushed it. Heard from a good number of guests about how much they enjoyed the music, but I think the more telling sign was that the dancefloor was only empty during their short breaks - even had grandma out there with her walker.

    Amy was awesome to work with and gave up a lot of time to talk through the details to make sure everything was just right. Our venue required moving some equipment for different parts of the wedding, and they didn't even blink handling anything that was thrown their way.

    10/10 would book them the next time I need a band!

    Royal Dukes Band's reply:

    Hi there!

    Yay we LOVE to hear it! Having a full dance floor is always our top priority and we are so grateful to you and your guests (especially grandma) for being so down to party with us!

    Hope to work with you again soon! Cheers!

    A great sounding band and great entertainment!

    The band was thorough, timely and most of all sounded great. They even learned our songs to play live for us.

    Royal Dukes Band's reply:

    Thank you so much for having us, Russell. We had such a great time performing those songs for you! Wishing you all the best!

    Such a Fun and Awesome Band

    The Royal Dukes did such an amazing job at our wedding on 6/6/22. They were so accommodating to my husband and I on which songs they would play live for our dances, etc., and Eundo is such a sweet and chill person to work with. He is very kind and generous and even helped my husband surprise me by letting him sing "My One and Only Love" to me, which was pretty much the sweetest thing that anyone has ever done for me. The jazz trio and string trio also did an amazing job and created a beautiful and romantic atmosphere. Thank you so much Eundo and the Royal Dukes for everything you did to make our wedding fabulous! Our guests had a blast dancing to your music!

    You need to book this band!

    If you want a wedding where people are on the dance floor the entire time, this is the BAND!

    Everyone at our wedding (4/2/2022) was raving about how AMAZING the band was. My parents who HAVE NEVER DANCED BEFORE were on the dance floor and this was the greatest moment my sisters and I have ever seen! I think everyone was shocked!

    We had our wedding at Elm Pass Woods where there has never been a large band play there before. Even though the venue is completely outdoors with no set stage, Marc was very easy to work with to make it happen! All our special requests on songs were MET with no question! The owners of Elm Pass Woods are sold on having this band come back for future weddings.

    We opted for 7 pieces and it was so worth it! It sounded amazing and the singer even joined us on the dance floor (girl crush!!!). Then there was the song Shout and only those that were there could attest to how the party got real fun during that song...LOLLL!

    Thank you so much Royal Dukes Band! You made our wedding AMAZING!!!!! I want to relive that night! What a party! Recommend 10/10!

    Royal Dukes Band's reply:

    Hi Kimberly,

    Oh my goodness! What an incredible night indeed! Thanks for passing along the compliments from your guests and thank you SO MUCH for sharing that story about your parents! We feel truly honored :)

    Your wedding was so special and total blast! We still aren't over it!! We appreciate your continued support of our band! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness!

    All the best,
    RDB

    They absolutely rocked

    We had the Royal Dukes play our wedding on 4.2.22 at Umlauf Sculpture Garden and they absolutely rocked. Amy was my point-of-contact / singer / therapist and she was so attentive to the vibe we wanted, and they even played a few songs off-list that we requested (and played them amazingly.) We booked a 9-piece band and they played our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dance party, and they knocked each segment out of the park. The vocals, instruments, lighting and vibe was just spectacular. On top of that, Amy was so responsive and always game to chat through logistics and timeline with me. Bottom line: BOOK. THIS. BAND.

    Royal Dukes Band's reply:

    Hi Lilly!

    Wow. What a night!! We had such an amazing experience working with you and performing at your wedding. So happy to hear you enjoyed the 9-piece band :) We loved all the energy you and your guests brought to the dance floor. Wishing you all the best!
