The whole experience was brilliant! It was such a straightforward process to book what we needed,it felt tailor made with great communication from start to finish: Chicago dukes were superb and really set the tone for a fabulous party. They are a really talented duo and charming to deal with.. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and highly recommend encore and Chicago dukes.

Thanks Laura; it was a pleasure! All the best for 2024. 😃🎹🥁🎅🏼

The Chicago Dukes played at a surprise party for my parents golden anniversary. They went down really well with our guests and my parents loved that they played such a wide range of songs, from jazz standards to modern pop, soul and rock. Would definitely recommend!

We can't express our thanks for last night. The whole band were outstanding from start to finish. The organisation leading into the wedding was so easy and straightforward and we couldn't have been happier. So many of our guests mentioned how good you were and many said it was one of the best live gigs they had ever seen. Last night you really brought the feel good factor and completely made our night. The first dance was something we will never forget so thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Lots of love Nathan
