Reviews of NOLA Dukes Band

We found Nola Dukes after attending a friend's wedding 5 years ago. When it came time for us to tie the knot we knew who we wanted! They were every bit as great as we remembered. Randi made the booking process and everything ahead of time go smoothly, and was a delight to chat with. She immediately latched on to our vibe and communicated clearly about what we could expect. The band has a huge repertoire, which meant that our wedding felt different than the wedding we saw the Dukes at in 2017, as they were able to tailor the music to the tastes of the couples. The consistent things were the quality of the music, and that these folks know how to lead a great party!!! Because they really paid attention to what we like, they ended with one of our absolute favorite songs. We had not requested it, and were so surprised and pleased. I couldn't recommend the Nola Dukes enough!

We knew we wanted a live band for our reception and Nola Dukes completely blew away our expectations!! Randi was so wonderful in helping us pick songs for important moments of the wedding (ceremony walk out song, first dance) and gave us honest feedback on which songs would and wouldn't work from her experience. She was also very accommodating and flexible and the band was able to learn our first dance song on somewhat short notice and we are so thankful since it was a special song to us. People were on the dance floor all night and our guests couldn't stop raving about the music the next day. Nola Dukes does an amazing job of curating a set list with your input without having to have rigid playlist and they have a diverse music catalog which we loved. We also had a string duo play our ceremony music live and it was so beautiful. I can't say enough amazing things about Nola Dukes and highly recommend booking them if they are available!

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!!!!!!

We had a jazz quartet and solo pianist for our wedding. Randi was wonderful during the planning process and helped create a flow for our event that worked out perfectly. The musicians were exceptional and performed flawlessly.

The band was awesome, our guests were happy and excited, loved the songs they played for us and we were really grateful. During preparing days Randi was super helpful and answered all our questions very fast and clear. And we ordered ceremony music session at the last second, but it went all great! Thanks again!

Randi was amazing! Leading up to the wedding, she answered all my questions and was so communicative. I can't tell you how appreciative I am of that- as it can be stressful planning a destination wedding. She made it so easy and also had the best personality- Randi is definitely doing the right job :) So, the band itself for my wedding was amazing!! We wanted a true New Orleans style music and they brought it! Despite the rain and having a tent, they seemed to be so flexible and went with the flow and did everything that was planned- even when we had a few changes they pivoted perfectly. I am forever grateful. Don't think twice about booking NOLA Dukes for your event! Thank you so much!!

You should hire Nola Dukes Band right now! We hired a string trio for our ceremony and their 8-piece band for our reception. They also helped to connect us with Big Fun Brass band for our Second Line. Everything was wonderful. They played all of our first dance songs live and nailed each of them - especially our first dance song (It's Been a Long Long Time by Harry James; it was really important to us that it was played live since it has such a good jazz band feel to it). Randi was absolutely wonderful to work with - her excitement and energy leading up to our wedding was infectious and her understanding and execution of our music vision was perfect - we don't love top 100 songs and we didn't hear any of them at the reception. Randi herself was one of the lead singers and helped to MC the night - keeping the crowd energized and engaged. I was a bit nervous since there aren't a ton of videos available online of their live performances, but that is because other musicians have stolen their arrangements (if you ask, they will send you samples directly) and I shouldn't have been worried. Live music was the most important aspect of our wedding when planning and I would choose Nola Dukes a million times again.

NOLA Dukes is hands down the best wedding band. They far exceeded our expectations and Randy, the lead singer has an incredible voice. The dance floor was never empty.

Not having a wedding planner was a little stressful, but these guys made it so easy for me! The reception flowed perfectly because of the band and our guests loved every song. Working with them was so much fun. I would recommend to anyone!

We loved having this band play for our wedding. They were fantastic, professional, fun and entertaining. Everyone was up dancing and having a great time! They also took care of everything, we didn’t have to worry about anything. Thank you Randi for all of your hard work, y’all made our event so special and everyone enjoyed it!
