So incredibly fun!!

This band was so incredibly fun!! We could not have asked for a better time with the NOLA Dukes! I think all our guest would agree fully! We all danced so much and were so sweaty from it but no one cared because they were having such a great time! I absolutely would have picked them all over again!

The perfect wedding band

The NOLA Dukes are truly the perfect wedding band. They're amazing musicians, they look cool, and Randi did everything to ensure that our wedding reception was a success. We couldn't be happier with our decision to hire them. It was an easy decision and an easy process. Our guests (and even the staff at our venue) were praising the band all night and the dance floor was full from start to finish. They played a great mix of classic and contemporary songs, and they weren't cheesy in the least. No regrets!

AMAZING!

Randi and the Nola Dukes were AMAZING! We checked them out beforehand at the Little Gem after debating for a long time on our band choice, and were so relieved once we saw them play. We knew we would book them right away! Our guests kept saying how great the band was. Randi and the band did a beautiful custom rendition of our first dance song. Everyone had a great time, the sound level was perfect. Randi was one of the most organized vendors I worked with throughout the planning process. I also really enjoyed being able to choose how many band members to accommodate our budget (we ended up splurging a little bit on 8 members and it was a great choice; they have an option for everyone). Thanks so much! We love y'all!

Total professionals and a joy to work with

From the planning to execution stages, NOLA Dukes were total professionals and a joy to work with. The playlist they prepared was the perfect fit for my wedding, and the whole crowd loved it! The band even had the most conservative members of my family on the dance floor! I couldn't have been more pleased with NOLA Dukes.

We would recommend them to anyone

Nola Dukes is such a great band to work with! We were lucky to see them twice beforehand at some friends' weddings and fell in love with their energy and range of songs they could play. Randi is very easy to communicate with and discuss how you want the night to flow. The band is excellent at reading the crowd and playing songs that keep people moving on the dance floor. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a great band at a great rate...they are the best!

Truly awesome

We recently hired Nola Dukes Band to play for a customer event in New Orleans for our company! Great band and truly awesome to work with!

Shirley, Wedding Wire, June 2019

They made our reception a blast

Nola Dukes were fabulous! They handled all their planning on their own which helped me have one less thing to stress about. They were able to play all of our song selections for both the ceremony and reception, and everyone kept asking us who the band was! They had so much energy and made our reception a blast. Would HIGHLY recommend for your next event!!

Molly, Wedding Wire, May 2018

Everyone was on the dance floor

My husband and I love Nola Dukes, they rocked the house. They are just such a great band to work with, and Randi was so very helpful in helping plan out our reception. We got nothing but compliments from our guests and everyone was on the dance floor all night long. We highly recommend the Dukes for your wedding.

Belinda, Wedding Wire, March 2018

We danced all night long

NOLA Dukes were AMAZING!!! Absolutely fabulous band!! And sooo fun to dance to!! Randi was wonderful to work with and made sure to understand what we wanted from both the ceremony and the reception. She was easy to get in touch with and very well organized. Our actual wedding was fantastic-- we had their pianist play classical music for the ceremony, which was beautiful, and then the band hit it for the reception! They read the crowd just right, and we danced and danced all night long!! Randi also MC'ed for announcing cake cutting and getting the speeches going, which was really wonderful. All of my friends said it was the best wedding band they had ever heard, and I would definitely agree!! So grateful we decided on NOLA Dukes because we had the most fun reception!!!!!!

A guaranteed good time

I recently had the genuine pleasure of seeing the NOLA Dukes play live at a wedding at The Republic in New Orleans. They were absolutely fantastic and could not have been more professional. The set list was perfect. They were absolutely charming and personable and their sound could not have been better! Top to bottom I was very impressed. If you are looking for a guaranteed good time, a packed dance floor, and genuinely nice people to work with, this is your band!

Michael Arnzen, Google, September 2018

Tremendously talented

Nola Dukes was so much fun to not only experience but also to work with leading up to event. Randi is so easy to get in touch with and discuss the music for your evening. They are tremendously talented and so great at playing music that caters toward what you want and what will keep your crowd moving. We could not have been more pleased with the final result! Everyone we spoke to asked about the band because they were such great performers. We truly love Nola Dukes and would recommend to anyone looking for a great band…

NOLA Dukes can do it all

My now-husband found these guys because he was in charge of music; both because he’s much pickier in this arena than I am, and also because I really have no idea what I’m talking about. I loved being able to go see them play at Little Gems Saloon ahead of time, and I immediately loved their energy and allllll the options working with them offered. We started looking early and considered many bands, but we kept coming back to NOLA Dukes. We couldn’t find the energy or options anywhere else. Once we started working with Randi, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt we had made the right choice, and it was worth every penny. Randi walked the two of us through every step, brought up things we had never thought of and provided solutions, added a second-line band and took care of all city permitting and PO organizing, helped us figure out ceremony music last minute when we had no idea what we wanted, added an extra horn when my husband decided he couldn’t live without one at a NOLA wedding...all in all, incredibly helpful, thoughtful, kind, supportive, proactive, easy to reach and the end result was amazing. Our guests had an unforgettable time and nearly a month later folks are still getting in touch to tell us how amazing it all was. I’d go with these guys over and over and over again. If you’re not sure what you’re doing and want someone to walk you through things, or if you know exactly what you want, NOLA Dukes can do it all and we are so so grateful to have booked them, worked with them, and have them do our wedding absolutely perfectly.
