What you need to know
The Basics
DUKE’s packages aim to provide live music throughout your entire event. This ensures the perfect musical accompaniment for every special moment, working in and around the formalities of your wedding day or special event. Performing beautiful folk & pop songs, classic laid-back lounge, and sassy upbeat pop tunes, DUKE create the perfect atmosphere from the cocktail hour to the dance-floor! All sound & lighting requirements and special song requests are also catered for, as well as unlimited, professional advice and support in planning your entertainment in the lead up to your event.
Customising
A regular act at some of Sydney best venues, weddings and corporate functions, DUKE have garnered fans and praise for their contemporary cover versions of current hits and classics. DUKE’s most popular packages are listed here, however additional musicians can be added to create a bigger band size, suitable for larger events. Regular additions include a sax player, keyboardist, or second female vocalist
Travel
DUKE’s artists are Sydney-based, however we are more than happy to travel and quite often do! Please note that fees for travel, accommodation or transfers, may be payable in addition to our packages for any event which is a substantial distance from Sydney CBD and has a late finish. We are happy to be as flexible as possible to accommodate your budget and plans, as we know everyone is different. Unsure if your event will incur a travel fee? Contact us. Please note PA hire costs may also be applicable for Interstate or International events.
How To Book
Although our artists may be available for your event at the time of your enquiry, this doesn’t guarantee artist availability. DUKE simply offer their services on a first-in first-served basis, and a deposit and signed copy of our booking agreement are required in order to secure your booking. To avoid disappointment please contact us if you have any questions and we’ll be happy to assist you with information on how to make your deposit, and provide you with a copy of our booking agreement to secure your entertainment.
