Sean O'Toole Duke Music was absolutely phenomenal at our wedding at Pier One Sydney Harbour on 29 March! They performed a beautiful acoustic set during canapés, setting the perfect tone for the evening, and then brought incredible energy to the reception, keeping the dance floor packed all night. A special thank you to Josie for being such an amazing MC—her warmth, professionalism, and charisma made everything run seamlessly. Our wedding was truly a night to remember, and we couldn’t have asked for a better band. Highly recommend Duke Music to anyone looking for exceptional live entertainment!

Dylan Hayley Rosenthal Where do we even start? Josie and Tim absolutely outdid themselves. Starting with the band, Duke; everything about the music was perfect—from the atmosphere in the afternoon to the incredible energy on the dance floor. Our guests are still raving about the music, and Chris’s standing ovation during dinner says it all! Their ability to read the room and create the perfect vibe is something truly special. Every song choice, every transition, every moment of the night felt so intentional and seamless. They made it impossible for anyone to stay seated—everyone was up dancing, laughing, and soaking in the magic. Duke didn’t just provide entertainment; they made memories that will stay with us forever. The final mash up of 'You're The Voice' and 'Killing In The Name Of' was the best representation of us as a couple - we loved it! Josie and Tim’s communication, responsiveness and care is truly unparalleled, and made the planning beyond stress-free. For this alone, we cannot thank you enough. We are eternally grateful for you both and can’t wait for the next time we get to have you as part of another celebration!

Brett O'Neill Duke Music is the easiest recommendation I can give to bring epic live music to your event. Utter professionals; impossibly talented; and a delight to work with to make it the event we wanted it to be. From first contact to post-event wrap up, every interaction was smooth, easy, and joyful. The music? For our event, our guests kept pointing to the band with mouths open as if to say “how on earth did you manage to book these superstars?!?”. This band brought the best vibe to give us the perfect soundtrack to our event. They took on our special requests and catered to every thought our suggestion we had. There’s a reason they’re so busy. Stop looking and book Duke Music for your event.

Clint Ironside A massive thankyou to Josie, Tim, and Chris from Duke Music for being our phenomenal band for our Wedding at Waldara Farm. So some background info, I was co-owner of a wedding photography company, and we attended an awards night at Doltone House back in 2014 or so. The band for the night was Duke Music, and the night was just amazing. Great tunes, and the dance floor was packed throughout the evening! a sign these guys know how to entertain! I remember thinking, if I ever get married, they are the band that will be performing! well, come 2023 and proposal all done, my fiancé and I reached out to Josie and confirmed that Duke was available for 27th January 2024! Phew!!! I’d recommend all others to get your bookings in early! They are SO worth it! We originally had Josie and Tim booked for a Duet, but after hearing Chris and his amazing vocals and Saxophone skills, we said he must be part of our wedding too!! Josie and Tim were amazing in the lead up to the wedding! They provided guidance on song choices via multiple spotify playlists (which I had no idea of) and now looking back, I can say every critical song choice we required was spot on!! Any questions we had, Josie and Tim were all over and this gave us the confidence to just relax knowing they had the tunes sorted for the day! Throughout our wedding, their professionalism and amazing skills ensured our guests were very well entertained! Our dance floor was packed throughout the evening (which is a sign they know how to hold a crowd on the dance floor) We received soo many compliments on Duke Music, and we couldn’t have asked for a better band for our wedding! Thankyou so much Josie, Tim, Chris for all your efforts, and making our day so memorable! We can’t recommend you enough to other couples looking for their wedding entertainment

Olivia Blockley We cannot recommend booking Duke highly enough!! We still are in a daze at how incredible Duke made our wedding day at Burnbrae in Mudgee, from Tim and Taylor creating heavenly acoustic tunes at our ceremony and canapes, to the rest of the team joining at the reception and creating a dancefloor that wouldn't stop! Throughout the process Tim and Josie were kind, communicative and helpful beyond measure. I can't tell you the effect they had on the mood and elation of the night!! Our guests certainly haven't stopped mentioning them, so I will be recommending you to anyone I know getting married. Thank you all for making our night so special :)

Karl Morton Duke Music are the absolute best. We opted in for the Duo DJ and had Jess and Tim perform for us on our wedding day and they were an absolute vibe. Previous to our wedding, communication with Tim and Josie was quick and painless and we never had any issues. We had a few phone calls and video chats with Tim leading up to the wedding, where we discussed our music selection and which songs we wanted to have played (Live and DJ). Tim was even able to source a few Spanish songs that we wanted for the night. As we had booked Duke during a time where the pandemic was on the rise, we didn’t get to attend any live performances beforehand but on the day of, it was well worth the wait. Jess and Tim helped to make our day an absolute dream, firstly with my processional song (Can’t Help Falling In Love – Elvis) which was performed beautifully and got a lot of our guests emotional (in a good way of course!). There was never a dull moment during our reception and their performance offered amazing ambience the entire night. For the dancing portion of the night, Tim setup his DJ equipment and used a playlist which included everything that we had asked him to play in our meetings before the wedding (no surprises!). The DJ-Ing was seamless and all our guests (some of which I’d never seen dance before in my life) were on the dance floor vibing and enjoying themselves. Our only regret is that we didn’t get to interact with Jess or Tim much through all the craziness of the night. We really appreciate your talent Jess and Tim. Thankyou for helping to make our wedding fabulous!

Arnold Andrews We feel incredibly fortunate to have had the phenomenal band DUKE perform at our wedding – they truly were the highlight of the evening! From the duo that set the perfect tone during the cocktail hour to the engaging trio that serenaded us during dinner, and finally, the sensational 6-piece band that had the dance floor packed, DUKE surpassed all expectations. The energy and enthusiasm they brought to each performance were contagious, creating an electric atmosphere that had everyone in high spirits. The dance floor was alive with joy, and the smiles on our guests' faces were priceless. What made our experience even more magical was the delightful surprise arranged by Josie. When she took the stage to sing our wedding song, the personal touch added an extra layer of emotion to an already perfect day. We are so thankful to DUKE for going above and beyond to make our celebration truly exceptional. Booking DUKE was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we can't express enough gratitude for the joy and memories they brought to our special day. If you're searching for a band that not only meets but exceeds expectations, DUKE is the ultimate choice. Thank you, DUKE, for making our wedding unforgettable!

Kylie After many years of watching DUKE perform at various events, it was an absolute dream to have them entertain at our wedding. DUKE was an absolute standout on the day and we received such lovely compliments. From ceremony to reception, they created the perfect playlist and combination of songs that was thoroughly enjoyed by all but also complimented us to a tee! Through the entire process they were very organised and prompt. Even with the craziness of rescheduling dates and sudden changes, they were flexible, understanding and super positive. The little things on the night did not go unnoticed either, and we truly appreciated their quick efforts to help clear the room to kick off the dancing! We can't thank them enough and will forever be recommending to all our family and friends.
