You want this band!! They are amazing and worth every penny. If I could do it over again, I’d have added more time to the reception because the Royal Dukes Band is so good that no one wanted to leave. We danced for hours and no one wanted it to end!

The Royal Dukes provided all of the music for our wedding from ceremony to reception. The business model is great. More so, the musical talent of the group is awesome. They made our reception fun for everyone and we got so many compliments about the band we chose. Eundo was great to work with and really listened to what we wanted out of the night and executed to perfection.

Absolutely LOVED our experience with Royal Dukes for our wedding. In the pre-wedding process, they were professional, responsive, and diligent with all of our questions. They walked us through each step of the planning process and made sure we felt confident that every detail was taken care of. And of course...most importantly, they rocked on the wedding night. Every song they played fit the mood of our evening. Our dance floor was packed with people from ages 15 - 65. If you're debating having live music, and you're reading this review, don't overthink it. Royal Dukes are the way to go!

Where do we even start… The Royal Dukes band literally goes to 11. Do not shop around, this band is THE BAND! From the initial inquiry for our wedding, to working with both Amy and Eundo, everything went off without a hitch! My husband and I live in Florida, and we never actually got the chance to see them live before our wedding, but the number of videos we saw and music we streamed, we knew they were the real deal… and boy they did not disappoint!! We keep calling it “our concert” because it sure felt like that!! The band even knew how nerdy we were and would play some Star Wars riffs while jamming out to other songs (literally a core memory now!). It was moments like that, where they not only played during our wedding, but extended their sets because we started late, came down into the crowd to sing and dance with us, and truly made it feel like we were all family celebrating together. Our reception would not have been the same without them, and we cannot thank the band enough for everything they did to make our experience so one-of-a-kind and special. We have so many of our family and friends saying how our wedding was one of the best they’ve ever experienced, and I truly believe we have The Royal Dukes to thank for that. Thank you guys SO SO much!! Hector and I will keep an eye on your live schedule and hopefully during another of our visits to TX we’ll come to a live show! We cannot thank you enough for all the memories that will be there for a lifetime!!! – Katie & Hector

The band was the best part of the reception! We had so much fun and they kept the whole group dancing. We asked for them to play a few pop punk songs and man did they deliver! Everyone was out on the floor when they played that set and LOVED it. They made our wedding incredible!

The Royal Dukes are nothing short of spectacular when it comes to delivering an unforgettable night of music and entertainment for your wedding! If you're searching for a band that's not just talented but truly exceptional, look no further. They are a group of incredibly skilled musicians and singers who know how to rock a wedding like no other.
Their level of talent is matched only by their organization and professionalism. We opted for a variety of musical elements throughout our wedding – a solo guitar for the ceremony, a jazz trio for the cocktail hour, and a 7-piece band with 2 sensational singers for the reception. Every segment of the evening was flawlessly executed, and it was nothing short of perfect.
What truly sets The Royal Dukes apart is their seamless teamwork and ability to read the room. They kept the dance floor alive all night long, making sure everyone was having a blast. They approach their production with the utmost professionalism, and their back-end preparation portal is outstanding, making the planning process smooth and stress-free.
If you want exceptional music, top-notch talent, and an unforgettable experience at your wedding – all while being able to relax and trust that the best will be delivered – then The Royal Dukes are the clear choice. We couldn't be happier with our decision to have them, and they made our wedding night truly magical!

If you are looking for a live band for your next special event, then you have to book the Royal Dukes Band! They certainly helped make our wedding reception extra special with their musical talents. It was so hard to leave the dance floor once they started playing. We had so many of our guests compliment their performance saying how they were so amazing and how our wedding was the best wedding they've been to.
We definitely couldn't have done it without the Royal Dukes Band! Not only is this band extremely talented, but they are also SO WONDERFUL and easy to work with.

This is the second wedding where we have worked with Eundo and The Royal Dukes. We hired the 10 piece band, a guitarist for the ceremony and a jazz trio for cocktail hour. (As parents of the bride, we want a beautiful and fun wedding.) They never disappoint. The band is professional and easy to work with. All of our guests raved about them and danced all night. Highly recommend!

Royal Dukes was amazing!!! One of the best decision we made for our wedding! Not only do they have top talent, but service and value was too notch as well! We had so much fun with Royal dukes, and our guests were raving about them constantly after our wedding! They really were one of the highlights of the wedding! They work with you to make sure you’re going to have the best time with the songs selection that you want/requested. Highly recommend them if you’re looking to have a blast!! We LOVE them!

We had the Royal Dukes play our wedding on 4.2.22 at Umlauf Sculpture Garden and they absolutely rocked. Amy was my point-of-contact / singer / therapist and she was so attentive to the vibe we wanted, and they even played a few songs off-list that we requested (and played them amazingly.) We booked a 9-piece band and they played our ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dance party, and they knocked each segment out of the park. The vocals, instruments, lighting and vibe was just spectacular. On top of that, Amy was so responsive and always game to chat through logistics and timeline with me. Bottom line: BOOK. THIS. BAND.

Royal Dukes Band was the perfect band for our wedding! They were incredibly versatile and played songs from a wide range of genres we requested. They kept everyone on the dance floor and were really fun for our guests. We also had a trio play for our reception and wanted to have Texas country played - all of our guests raved about the band during the reception and they played all of our favorites we asked for. Since we were planning our wedding during the pandemic, Royal Dukes did everything to help us feel comfortable with our decision to choose them - they sent recordings and videos of past performances, and put us in touch with previous brides/grooms they worked with so we could hear their feedback directly. They were super accommodating and just generally great to engage with from beginning to end.

The Royal Dukes were awesome and easy to work with. Amy made the planning process as smooth and approachable as could be for our ceremony music and reception band. I cannot say enough about how great the entire Royal Dukes organization is. The band rocked and was able to work with most of our requests as the band had tremendous range. We searched long and hard for a band and Royal Dukes checked every box between talent, size and value. Stop your search and go with the best. You won't find a better band to make your day special.

The Royal Dukes Band was fantastic! First of all? Their booking process and dashboard is extremely straight forward, which was unbelievably helpful in the musicians realm (I talked to MANY). They were easy to figure out pricing from the beginning and super attentive to my emailed questions. Second, their online dashboard kept me organized with the important things but still gave them creative liberties with music. Third, my guests loved it! They had everyone dancing all night long and my dad still raves about them!

Royal Dukes were top notch! Talented and skilled musicians, they brought a true Austin feel to our event. It was a whole different feel from a DJ, really special. They played a perfect mix of genres, low key during dinner and then hopping for the dance floor. They worked with the bride and groom ahead of time to plan out the play list, even learned a new song that the bride and groom couldn't live without. We had a semi-choreographed situation where one song needed to be interrupted by another at a very specific moment: they made it happen seamlessly. We had a group of six musicians, they were truly terrific. Absolutely MADE our event. 100% recommend.

We are so glad we went with the Royal Dukes for our wedding in Dripping Springs! They KILLED it and had everyone dancing all night and they couldn't have been easier to work with. We wound up with the 8 piece band so that we could get some brass in there. Worth it! Do yourself a favor and go to their next showcase if you can! They will win you over for sure.

We are so happy we booked Royal Dukes Band for our wedding in July 2019! Living in Virginia and getting married in Fort Worth, we had to book a lot of things before even seeing them, and we had no worries at all that they would be great performers. They kept everyone dancing and entertained all night! We filled out a questionnaire before the big day where we could put all of our preferences. I really believe they studied it and took it to heart exactly what we were wanting to dance to and when! Thank you, Royal Dukes Band for making our wedding night one to remember!

The Royal Dukes know how to throw a party. We’re so happy we booked them for our wedding reception! I had a vision for our wedding band, and The Royal Dukes brought that vision to life. They were the second vendor we booked because I knew we had to have them after watching their showcase.
Booking and planning the event was easy. They set up a webpage where you can schedule and coordinate the event while communicating directly with the band. There were some delays in responding to emails, but the impact to our schedule was minimal.
We had the 9-piece band and they killed their performance! They played our first dance and did a great job emceeing the event. Our guests were on the dance floor the entire night and everyone kept raving about how great the Royal Dukes were. Thank you for making our wedding reception fun and memorable!

BOOK THEM NOW! Do not think any longer. Their pricing + quality of service and execution was absolutely flawless.
They made our wedding ceremony and reception so special. Amy (manager + talented singer) was so kind and patient throughout the process. I could not have hoped for it to go any smoother.
Amy actually met me for coffee early in the planning process + spent some time on the phone making sure I was comfortable and happy. Her input meant the world to me and I am so fortunate to have Royal Dukes play for my wedding. Everyone was raving about Sam (lead singer) and Chris (lead singer). They are beautiful people and beyond talented musicians. Royal Dukes were beyond my expectations. My heart was so happy at the end of the night. It is everything I could have hoped for and more. BOOK THEM NOW!

Everything you want in a wedding band. We went with an 8-piece band with a sound engineer and MC service. The musicians and vocalists are true professionals. They had our entire reception on their feet dancing all night. Plus, they got out on the dance floor themselves and took the party to another level. We worked closely with Marc, the band manager. He was so responsive and accommodating to our requests and in so many words, understood exactly what kind of music and vibe we wanted. Royal Dukes has a band planning page as well, which allowed me to upload my timeline, make special requests, and indicate the type of music we liked. It was very reassuring as a bride who was juggling a lot of responsibilities.

Amazing! The quality of the Royal Dukes, paired with their reasonable price, made them an amazing choice for our wedding. We chose the package that included a string quartet, jazz band and a twelve piece band. Every musician did an excellent job. Jon, who coordinated with us, went above and beyond to make sure we had exactly what we wanted at our wedding. Furthermore, when my husband wanted live music during our dinner service, he worked with us to make that happen at a reasonable cost. Lastly, the band let my husband borrow their guitar and microphone so he could perform a song during our wedding. I highly recommend the Royal Dukes and am so happy that we chose them for our wedding.

The Royal Dukes Band was referred to me by a friend in Austin, and after watching various videos of the band on YouTube, as well as sending my daughter and her fiancé to watch them at a local show, I was sold!
We used one of the guitarists for the ceremony music, then had a jazz trio/quartet for the dinner music and we added in the other band members and vocalists for the reception. I was overwhelmed by the quality of their work during each part of our event. The dance floor was packed all night which is a testimony to their fantastic sound. I can't say enough good things about this band!!
At times, I would feel a bit confused about where we were in the planning/process, but Amy always had time to chat and allay my concerns. You will not regret having this band at your next wedding, party or event!!

Although my husband wanted a simple DJ, my mom and I decided to go with a band. And it was one of the best decisions we made! They made the night so much fun and knew how to keep the party going! We were having trouble finding someone to play the music for the ceremony (just a simple playlist) so we asked them a few weeks before the wedding and they were able to add it to our contract for a very reasonable price! I am so happy with the decision and would recommend this band to anyone! Thank you for everything!!!

The Royal Dukes were AWESOME. A fun band were at the top of both my and my husband's wish lists for our wedding and they did not disappoint. I danced so hard at our wedding, I think my shoes almost went up in flames. Leading up to the wedding, they got a feel for our likes and dislikes and planned the perfect set list that had the dance floor full all night long. The instrumentalists and singer were on point and made the whole night so fun. They were super organized in the whole planning process and Jon made it super easy to plan our set list for the night. He was super responsive to emails and answered all my (many) questions with a super friendly response. They also provided us with a violinist for our ceremony which was beautiful and MCed the reception as well. I loved this band and would recommend them to anyone who wants a super talented, friendly and fun band to keep you dancing all night.

These guys rule! We had an incredible experience with them. From the opportunity to go hear them in Austin beforehand, to the booking and preparation process, and of course, the wedding day...they are professionals who know how to do this very well. Here are the two things that I think make them awesome...
1. They make your wedding day amazing. We didn't even think about them once. They had everything prepped and ready to go beforehand and worked directly with our day of coordinator so that we didn't have to give it a single thought.
2. They CRUSH the dancefloor! We heard from our friends over and over again that they danced so hard they were sore the next day. That's success! We pretty much only had one goal for the reception and that was to have a packed dance floor all night and these guys came through in a big way.
Incredibly thankful for them and for making our day as awesome as we hoped it would be.

RDB couldn’t have been a better band selection for our wedding! From ceremony music, to cocktail hour, to rocking the house at the reception, they delivered in every way! Thanks to all of you for all you did that special evening!

We booked the phenomenally talented Royal Dukes Band for the rehearsal dinner at our son's wedding weekend. From the moment they took the stage, the Band knew exactly how to create a magical evening: performing just the right songs for our cocktail hour, offering soulful beauty during the dinner portion of our event and, then, blowing everyone away during the real fun of the evening...the dance floor portion of the night. They were lively and entertaining and knew how to perfectly read the crowd, so that each and every guest found themselves singing and/or dancing along.

The showcase for this band is somewhat misleading since the members fluctuate and they play multiple events on the same dates. We had some problems but in the end it has worked out.

Created THE BEST PARTY atmosphere. I am still hearing from people weeks later how much they loved the band. Multiple people have told us ours was their favorite wedding, because the band rocked so hard! The music choices were perfect, aligned with the styles we said we liked. The musicians were phenomenal. Top it off with perfect MC services. Thank you Eundo and Royal Dukes Band for making our wedding so spectacular.

This band is AMAZING!!!! Everyone keeps talking about how great the band was at our wedding. They had everyone out there on the dance floor and they did all the song requests from my guest. We didn't have the final meeting with them though till 3 days before the wedding so I was very worried how things would turn out. However, they did such a great job and I can't thank them enough! Go see them at a showcase!

We are so happy we booked the Royal Dukes for our wedding this month!! They are amazing in every aspect. We did tons of research to find the perfect band, and most Dallas bands were double or triple the price of Royal Dukes. We couldn’t believe how affordable they were with their talent! We booked a 9 piece band with Marisela and Quentin as our singers. We also included the lights package, which was so worth it. Make sure to attend the free showcases for the band ahead of time so you can hear them play, hear the different singers and request who you’d like. The band can play ANY style of music!! From country, to salsa, to party music, they can do it all. Evan was so helpful throughout the entire process. We booked the band 18 months before our wedding, so we had many questions along the way, and they were so responsive and easy to communicate with! He always answered our questions so quickly. The online band planning page that they provided was great also! They really took our requests into consideration to make our wedding perfect. We are still getting compliments almost a month after our wedding about how amazing the band was and how much fun everyone had. The dance floor was always full! I can’t recommend Royal Dukes enough. You will not regret it!!!

Royal Dukes isn't really the name of a specific band...it's a consortium of a lot of musicians. The band you check out at their showcases is not the band you will get.
We had horrible communication problems in advance. We were super organized, but they didn't follow our schedule for the night, offer any of the MC duties we had requested. They started sets as everyone was going inside to cut the cake and started a traditional song that needed props without introduction or heads up for us to get ready. They didn't provide canned music in between sets as was requested and they tried to stop playing an hour early.
We made a list of songs from their band songs list and maybe three were played through out the night. When I asked at a break if Eundo, who was our contact had shared our information they were unaware of any of our notes.
We must be the only wedding they've ever messed up, but I feel compelled to share.

Hi Kat, Thank you for your feedback. As you know, the two lead singers who your daughter r...
equested at our showcase were the singers on her event. We also offered MC services, announcing the first dances, cake cutting, and other events specified in your planning page, as well as DJ services on our breaks. With the song where props were needed, we did announce that song at the time designated on the schedule. I'm sorry if the props weren't ready and wish we had been informed so that we could have anticipated the delay - so sorry if that caused a rush. As far as the early end to the night, the planner informed us that the venue's sound curfew was at 9:30pm and asked us to play our last song at 9:25pm. She said this was listed in the contract that your daughter signed with the venue and, while we are very sorry that the night ended earlier than you expected, the band certainly did not want to be responsible for having an event shut down due to noise complaints. This was a surprise for the band as well, and I am really sorry that this happened as I'm sure it was disappointing when you thought the event would go until 10pm. As far as the song list, I know you and your daughter went back and forth on the type of music that should be played. We tried to find a happy balance between the playlist with country music that you had provided with your booking and your daughters request on the night for more pop music. We were truly trying to make everyone happy and I'm sorry if you felt we fell short in this aspect. Best wishes to your daughter in her happy marriage!

We can't say enough about this band! Communication from the very beginning was excellent. We went to hear them a couple of times and had requests for certain lead singers - all of that was honored and communicated. They simply MADE our reception - so many guests told us how fantastic the band was and wanted to know where we found them etc. A resort guest who happened to be staying there on our wedding weekend found my daughter on FB and said she was getting married in several months and wanted to know who the band was - she could hear them from the pool area. The last thing is - as bands go - they are a bargain!!!

Royal Dukes band was awesome!!! The dance floor was energized the entire night and they were able to play every song we requested beforehand. They were even willing to learn a song on strings for our ceremony and one for the reception.
Eundo, who was our point of contact, was VERY responsive during the planning stages. They had a web page that is dedicated to your wedding where you can review the music selection, overall schedule, and amount due. It made the whole process painless. I would highly recommend!

This is a fantastic band that will make your evening spectacular. They can read the crowd and keep everyone on the dance floor. Their Emcee service and entertainment is first rate. Choose them, follow their well thought out planning worksheet, enjoy the night of your life. It is THAT easy.

The Royal Dukes Band were incredible. I got so many amazing compliments on them during and after the wedding. I would hire them again for any event needing a band in a heartbeat. They were easy to work with, and I they made me feel comfortable and confident with my choice throughout the wedding planning process. Just do yourself a favor and stop looking and book the Royal Dukes.

The band was probably the vendor we invested the most research and money in selecting for our wedding. And it definitely paid off! Royal Dukes was phenomenal both in the planning process and on the day-of the wedding. They set such a great atmosphere for the event and there were plenty of people on the dance floor all night long. One small critique—our MC was a little too quiet and couldn’t be heard across the room. But other than that, we were so pleased with Royal Dukes and would highly recommend.

Jordan with The Royal Dukes is about to be married so he gets it! The energy from the band made it that our dance floor was NEVER empty even during band breaks. He took the time to listen to our wants and requests and made our daughter and her husband’s night a night to remember. Our guests are still emailing and texting me about the band/evening! You certainly get more bang for your buck with these guys. We had 10 of them on stage! Highly recommend The Royal Dukes Band! Thanks to all the band members for such a magical evening ❤️

Hiring The Royal Dukes Band was one of the best decisions we made. They helped the night run smoothly by MCing the night, and added a bang to the party afterward by playing spectacularly. They were able to accomodate our requests (either by playing a certain song live or DJing a mix that we made).
They played lively music that kept our guests on the floor the whole night. Most importantly, they worked with my Aunt, allowing her to play the violin at the ceremony alongside them. Our guests loved them so much they cheered for an encore... and got one! If that doesn't say it all, I don't know what does.

Amy worked with us to completely understand the type of music and the energy we wanted for the evening. The flow from happy hour to dinner to dancing was perfect. It is the only reception I have been to where every guest was on the dance floor all night. So much fun! Everyone is still talking about the band. I would do it all over again!!

We had the most difficult time finding a band that we liked (most had managers that were difficult to work with). Then randomly one night we found the Royal Dukes Band and were floored by their sample music. We reached out to the immediately and couldn't have been more pleased at how professional and easy-going their head musician, Evan, was! He worked with our requests and we could not have been more happy with how it all turned out! We received so many compliments on the band and music from our guests!
I would highly recommend Royal Dukes, especially for those that want an easy and honest booking process!

The band was AMAZING! Our main goal was to get everyone out on the dance floor and by the end of the night even Granny Grace was grooving along with The Royal Dukes. Chris and the crew were awesome at reading the crowd and deciding what should come next. We AND our wedding guests were super impressed with musical talent that night!!

We had an absolute BLAST with The Royal Dukes Band! They were so easy to work with and they were a crowd pleaser. Our guests literally danced the night away and had to be forced off the dance floor. Their manager Eundo was excellent about specifics and communication and such a pleasure to work with. We had some unique song requests for our ceremony and they fulfilled each and every one. We had the 6-piece band and would definitely work with them again. They play it all and they are SO MUCH FUN!
