    Amazing! I can't wait to hire him again!

    I just had my wedding this past weekend and had hired DJ Mr Duke for it and he was amazing! First of all, his setup just looks amazing! It looked so elegant unlike most DJ set ups! The lighting he added around the venue was awesome too and really added to the party vibe. He was awesome at following my list/suggestions and would change it up to get the party going. I've already given his contact info to a lot of my guests and my coordinator was SHOCKED she hadn't heard of him before! The photobooth was so much fun too and I loved getting a copy of all the photos my guests took too! On top of all of this - his price can't be beat either!! Definitely recommend!!!

    Our Wedding 09 26 2021

    DJ Duke was the best Dj. He was very professional and arrived on time for his setup. He was the DJ for our ceremony and reception. When I tell you all that he kept all of our guests on the floor dancing and didn’t miss a beat. Even as the night was winding down, my husband and I danced until the very last song. It was an absolute pleasure working with him and we will definitely use him for future events that we have. We highly recommend DJ Duke for all of your DJ needs.

    Kept the party going all night long!

    I got married January 18, 2020. Yes, it’s a bit late for a review, but I finally am going on my honeymoon (on our 1 year anniversary) and have time on the flight to thank my vendors. I initially found Events by Duke in a search on Thumbtack. Then I went and searched on Facebook and other platforms to see there were samples of the work that James did. Boy, I was IMPRESSED! I immediately contacted James and he was easy to work with. He answered all of my questions during the planning phase. On the day of the wedding, he truly impressed me! He was an awesome DJ and mood setter (up-lights)-- played every single song we requested, remixed our first dance song for us, and followed the script on all of the requested songs/dances/chants. He literally kept the party going ALL NIGHT! Our friends still talk about how amazing of a time they had dancing the night away. It was like we were all in college again (GO GATORS!)! I also can’t forget to mention that the up-lights he did for us truly set the mood of the party. If you are looking for a DJ who is easy to work with and truly keeps the party going, look no further! I highly recommend Events by DJ Duke!

    We had so much fun!!

    Thank you DJ Duke for keeping everyone on the dance floor! My husband and I had so much dancing to the music. Our family and friends also said we had the best DJ by far. He listened to our requests and played music everyone enjoyed. He was also super professional and on time! You will not regret booking him for your wedding or next event.

    Robinson's

    I can't tell you how much fun we had our wedding night. We have a mixed family and Events By Duke played the perfect mix! Kept everybody on the dance floor the whole night. I definately would hire him in a heart beat!

    Events by Duke was the best choice and at a great value. He was very responsive and even took all the request from my family members. He answered text messages and emails almost immediately. Plus, his white DJ booth added an extra touch to our decor. He also provided our GOBO which was just gorgeous. I highly recommend him for your DJ needs.

    Well-rounded, professional DJ

    I’ve used James for two parties and each time he has been punctual, professional, and so much fun. He played every song we requested and knew how to keep people on the dance floor. I will definitely be using James for all of our parties going forward!

    Such a great DJ!

    We hired DJ Mr. Duke for our wedding and he delivered! Our dancefloor never died down, the guests had an absolute blast. James was so easy to work with. The planning forms helped us put all our thoughts together. His setup also looked really sleek! Highlight recommend the lights package! Those looked amazing.

    Amazing DJ

    I hired James to work my wedding and he did an incredible job. He made sure that the timing of everything was spot on. He played every song we requested and had uplighting to make the space look extra magical. He included a photobooth that made for some wonderful pictures. He was punctual and flexible with our timing as far as schedule of events went (we were late to everything lol). He coordinated with our event coordinator and photographer (Mike Rathke -- https://www.weddingwire.com/biz/rathke-photography-humble/394e0926ec469828.html) to make sure everything was right on time. He also had some nice jams for when we didn't have requests. 5/5 stars, definitely would recommend.

    Best Day Ever

    We had DJ Mr. Duke as our DJ for our wedding on 8/9 and he was AWESOME! Not only the day of, but the time leading up to our wedding he was always in contact and with us every step of the way. Our original wedding was supposed to be on 3/27 and due to Covid we had to reschedule and luckily he was available on our new date. We had last minute time changes to our wedding start time at our venue and had to move rooms and he worked with our event coordinator and didn't skip a beat (no pun intended). Getting married during a pandemic is stressful enough, and having an amazing DJ who is great at what he does and understanding of last minute changes- made our day even better! Thanks so much DJ Mr. Duke for being so great!

    Excellent DJ and Photobooth

    Highly recommend working with Eventy by Duke for your event! We did a lot of research and he is the best price you will find for wedding DJ and Photobooth in Houston. DJ James offers professional and outstanding service while still keeping the planning process very easy with his online client Event Planner! We couldn't be happier with the music at our reception (salsa, R&B, country, rap, classics), his MCing of the events, and set up. He was also very patient and understanding with our 6 month rescheduled date due to COVID. Thank you!!

    Great service

    Dj Duke did a great job. He arrived real early to set up. Never bothered any of us with phone calls or anything. We arrived and he was ready to go, very prepared. It was stress free. He played the songs we wanted, did great playing to the crowd and taking requests. I would recommend his services to anyone, and we will be using him in any future events.

    Phenomenal DJ Service

    We hired DJ Mr. Duke for our wedding and he killed it!! He is so flexible and easy, while also being very helpful and professional. Our group LOVES music, and loves to dance so the right DJ was really important. He made everything from our ceremony, to cocktail hour, to reception, and finally dance party absolutely perfect!! We had some pretty obscure requests and he made them happen. He is extremely laid back and trustworthy. Thank you DJ Mr. Duke for helping make our day perfect!!

    Awesome Experience with Events By Duke

    DJ Duke was absolutely incredible! We were the most nervous about the DJ because we know it is the single most important part of the wedding and for us, it was particularly stressful because we wanted to a mix of Mexican, American and Jewish music. DJ Duke did an incredible job of mixing everything up really well and everyone was dancing the whole entire time. It was PERFECT in every way. We definitely recommend Events By Duke for all your wedding needs.

    Excellent!

    My husband and I loved working with James! He was SO prompt in responding to all of my emails - both before and after we booked with him. Even when I emailed late at night, he would typically respond within 20 minutes. He read the room so well during the reception and kept the party going! He even took videos before and during the reception to capture special moments for us! He was also super kind and professional.
