Royal Dukes Band High energy live music for weddings & corporate events

Our technical requirements vary depending on the band size, venue and event setup. We’ll coordinate with you and your venue ahead of the event to confirm performance space, power, load-in access and any other production needs. Our team makes the process easy and will provide specific requirements well in advance.

We’ll need the venue name and location, along with a venue or event contact. It’s also helpful to know about load-in and parking access, performance space, power availability, sound restrictions or noise limits, and any venue-specific production requirements. We’re happy to coordinate directly with your venue to work through the details.

Yes! Our bands can provide professional sound and lighting for your event. Exact production needs may vary depending on the venue, guest count and band configuration, and our team will work with you and your venue to make sure everything is properly arranged ahead of time.

Yes! We can keep the music going before and between our live sets so there’s never a lull in the celebration. We’re happy to curate the music or work with your preferred playlist to make sure the vibe stays consistent throughout the event.

Of course! We love to travel! We do charge extra for the time depending on the distance and, in some cases, you’ll need to cover accommodation for band members. Ask your producer for an official quote based on the specifics of your event.

You can request different styles in our online planning system depending on the formality of your event.

Absolutely! We play ALL weddings and happily celebrate love. Please don’t hesitate to reach out.

We do! See our events page for more details.

Absolutely! We’re an all-inclusive band with a broad musical repertoire. Want classical music for your ceremony, a jazz set for your cocktail hour, and dance party reception? You’ve got it. Speak to your producer for more specific details and requests.

We play a wide variety of music. From Top 40, to classics, to classical and jazz. You can get an idea of the musical styles you can choose from on our media page.

We have a solid repertoire of songs that will please all of your guests from your 6-year old niece to your grandfather. It’s always important to have some freedom to read the room on the night; but our number one priority is pleasing YOU. Just let us know what you want to hear, and, if it’s not already in our repertoire, we’ll work with you to make your night perfect. You can also give us a list of songs that you love and songs that you dislike on your planning page–we’ll base our choices on your music preferences.

Of course! Just make sure you give us enough notice of your special request so the the band has time to learn your song.

Our typical quote, and the industry standard, is for a maximum 5-hour event including set up and break down. This includes 4 x 45-minute sets or 3 x 60-minute sets, with intermittent breaks, to be spread throughout the night as you feel best. With speeches and other formalities, you’ll find this is usually the perfect amount of time to have the band playing. If you require a longer event and more sets, we are happy to discuss adding extra hours at little cost. Also, please know that we are always flexible to your needs. This 5-hour timeline breakdown is our standard recommendation, but anything can be customized to your plan. Talk to us about your ideas and dreams and we’ll do our best to accommodate!

The band can absolutely play during dinner, but we’d recommend using your sets when your guests are ready to stand up and get dancing. Our typical event reception includes 4 x 50-minute sets with short DJ sets between the band sets. If you would like a dinner set, please let us know ahead of time as we defer to playing after-dinner sets unless otherwise instructed. You can always pay for extra time if you want a dinner set in addition to all four dance sets.

Absolutely! Send us a list of all the songs you want to hear. We’ll sort through the list and decide which will sound best live and which will be better to DJ during a break. DJ service is always free - we want to make sure the room is still buzzing when the band isn’t playing. If you like, you can bring your own iPod for these breaks with a specific playlist, or, if you prefer, just leave it up to us! Either way, we’ll manage the playlist on the night so you don’t have to worry about the logistics. We always bring an iPod with a selection of appropriate background music and, during dinner, the room is typically too noisy for the band to be playing, anyway–we want your guests to be able to enjoy their conversation and it’s much easier to control the noise level on an iPod!

Yes! We look after everything music-related.
