"The Jazz Dukes made our wedding complete, they were fantastic to work with from beginning to end. James was always prompt when responding to queries, he was incredibly professional throughout and arranged a fabulous set for us that kept the whole room dancing until late into the night. They are a wonderful band and I would recommend them without hesitation. Truly an amazing find, James's voice is superb!"
"We booked the Jazz Dukes with only a week’s notice - James and the group are awesome! Super easy to work with, quick to respond, organized, extremely professional…just an overall pleasure. These guys are a definite crowd pleaser. I’d highly recommend and personally, look forward to working with them again in the future."
"From the moment we were introduced, the level of service was great and so accommodating, it was a complete pleasure to work with James and his fellow band members. The evening started with some background music suited to the atmosphere of guests arriving and the speeches, slowly picking up tempo with a session at the end for requests, it was superb. There were lots of comments throughout the evening which made it all the more special, certainly a group we would recommend and would have no hesitation to invite back for future events."
"They are so kind and their performance was out of this world. I asked them to come to Venice wearing tuxedos. Although it was high water, they walked across the city with their shoes off and with water up to their knees to make it to our wedding. We could certainly count on them. Thank you for being so amazing!!!!"
"Trust me, having them perform here was the cherry on top of the cake! We had such a good time working with The Jazz Dukes who managed to adapt straight away to the atmosphere we required at our luxury venue. Great musicians and a very talented singer."

"The evening was enhanced massively by a flawless performance by these guys! The guests enjoyed some smooth background music during the welcome reception and a more upbeat set after our Gala Dinner in Athens. I couldn't be happier with the band and how easy to work with and professional these guys are. I am sure to invite The Jazz Dukes to perform at our future events!"
"Morning James, I just wanted to send over a personal note of thanks for Saturday. It was wonderful to have you and the band manage all of the atmosphere and energy on the evening and you were all fantastic. Thank you for everything and hope to work with you again in the future! All the best, Sophie x"
"We booked The Jazz Dukes for our wedding reception in June 2023 and were extremely happy with how it turned out. The band was professional yet friendly. They arrived at the venue ahead of time, looking very smart and presentable. They are exceptionally talented musicians and we absolutely loved their performance. The music was perfect for the occasion and helped create a wonderful atmosphere. James, the lead singer, has a beautiful and clear singing voice. He was very helpful and accommodating throughout the booking process. We would highly recommend The Jazz Dukes for any event. Emilia and Marko."

"Their promptness and professionalism on the day of the wedding was exemplary and they were so very easy to work with. Their musical flexibility worked perfectly and no request was ever too much for them. Their image was very smart and their upbeat repertoire of music certainly had a positive impact on the guests. I will definitely be booking them again soon!"
