Best Band in Town

I cannot say enough good things about the Royal Dukes Band. At the end of the night, we literally could not get people off the dance floor! Coming from a musical family, live music was a must for me at our wedding. We also had their sound and lighting team set up additional things for us around the venue. They did a perfect job, at a great price, and were so professional. I would highly recommend adding their MC package on because our MC was incredible. She kept everything on schedule and let people know what was going on. She also alerted me when toasts were about to start, when they were about to take their scheduled breaks, and made changes on the fly to some of the special requests we had. I always heard Royal Dukes was the best in town, but I am so glad my guests, husband, and I were able to experience it first-hand. People are still talking about how amazing they were! They truly made our day so special.

Just Incredible!

Where do we even start… The Royal Dukes band literally goes to 11. Do not shop around, this band is THE BAND! From the initial inquiry for our wedding, to working with both Amy and Eundo, everything went off without a hitch! My husband and I live in Florida, and we never actually got the chance to see them live before our wedding, but the number of videos we saw and music we streamed, we knew they were the real deal… and boy they did not disappoint!! We keep calling it “our concert” because it sure felt like that!! The band even knew how nerdy we were and would play some Star Wars riffs while jamming out to other songs (literally a core memory now!). It was moments like that, where they not only played during our wedding, but extended their sets because we started late, came down into the crowd to sing and dance with us, and truly made it feel like we were all family celebrating together. Our reception would not have been the same without them, and we cannot thank the band enough for everything they did to make our experience so one-of-a-kind and special. We have so many of our family and friends saying how our wedding was one of the best they’ve ever experienced, and I truly believe we have The Royal Dukes to thank for that. Thank you guys SO SO much!! Hector and I will keep an eye on your live schedule and hopefully during another of our visits to TX we’ll come to a live show! We cannot thank you enough for all the memories that will be there for a lifetime!!! – Katie & Hector

Royal Dukes Band

Recently celebrated our wedding with the Royal Dukes Band - cocktail hour, plus 3 sets of music. They had our wedding guests out of their seats and on the dance floor all night. The band was energetic, fun, and played a nice variety of music. They even learned 3 special songs for us which were a big hit. I would highly recommend them for your celebration. We had a lot of compliments from our guests!
