We hired the NOLA Dukes Band for our Welcome Reception for Super Bowl weekend. They were wonderful! Great band to have as a 3-piece band as background music for our party. The guys were really nice and took requests from our guests. The booking and planning was also very easy. Highly recommend them!
Lauren D.
We had a jazz trio for cocktail hour, a pianist and sound for the ceremony, and a five-piece band for our wedding reception, all of which sounded amazing and fit our vibe perfectly! They were great to work with, and I can’t recommend them enough for your special day. One of our favorite moments was our final dance at the end of the night.

NOLA Dukes surpassed our expectations. During the booking process, Randi was helpful and communicative throughout. During the night of the our wedding, our guests were on the dance floor showering us with compliments about the band. Not only do they get your guests dancing, but also interact with them. If you want to dance the night away, this the band for you. They are an incredible value.
