There’s no better feeling than seeing the look of love when a couple's friends and family join them on the dance floor. That feeling is why we love what we do.
Ceremony
Whether you prefer traditional music, classical songs, or modern tunes, we can work with you to set the perfect tone for your day. Ask us for a Free Demo Pack to hear for yourself.
Cocktails
Start the party off right with a jazz quartet or acoustic trio to accompany your cocktail hour.
Reception
This is where we really shine - amazing dance parties are how the Nola Dukes Band have earned their fantastic reputation! We pride ourselves on our high energy, flawless performance–it’s all about great preparation and a genuine love for what we do to ensure you have the best night of your life.
We want you to love the music!
We pride ourselves on knowing just what to play and when to play it. It isn't enough just to fill your dance floor - we want you to love the music! We'll create a set list based on your musical preferences to ensure that every song from the start of the day until you drive away together as a married couple is tailored especially for you. Or, if you prefer, just leave it all up to us.
