The Times Duo are overjoyed to announce their win for Best Live Entertainment at the 2025 Gippsland and Phillip Island Wedding Awards — for the fifth consecutive year! Their passion for creating unforgettable wedding experiences continues to shine through every performance, and this recognition is a true honour. Mark and Dave extend their heartfelt thanks to all the wonderful couples who have trusted them to bring music and magic to their special day, as well as the incredible network of fellow vendors who make every event a seamless celebration. Here’s to another year of love, laughter, and live music!

It’s been a splendid, hectic, and rewarding season for The Times! We saw wild bridal party entrances and had epic dances at The Shearing Shed, and enjoyed the picturesque backdrops at Saltwater, Island Bay Ranch, Clifftop Boutique, Gurdies Winery, The Little Vineyard, Gurneys Cidery, Churchill Island, Quat Quatta, Trenavin Chapel and incredible private properties in Gippsland and we revelled in the warm glow of the atrium at Phillip Island Winery. 

We loved adding the soundtrack to laidback lunches in the rainforest at Wild Food Farm and cruisey outdoor sessions on the Bridge Lawn, Middle Hotel and Invy Espy and rocking out at the venue launch parties for Dimples and The Wooli Tavern. We caroused NYE at Phillip Island Golf Club and owned dressing up for Colechella and getting tattooed for a Viking party!  

These are moments we will never forget.

Thank you for being there with us!

Second best wedding band in Gippsland! So close, must get better!

As Summer 2020 comes to an end we’d like to thank the couples who invited us to be part of their special day. Shout outs also to the wonderful hosts at the Phillip Island Golf Club, The Shearing Shed, The Cape Kitchen and further afield at Jack Rabbit Vineyard and Yarra Valley Estate. Leaves are falling, Autumn is calling!

A triumphant series of gigs over the Moto GP weekend on Phillip Island. Our grand finale, performing for World Champion Marc Marquez and his team as they celebrated his sixth Moto GP victory. Legendary!!!

Local players come away with best on ground performances both on and off the field! 2019 was a hot season in the AFL, AFLW, and district league footy and netball. Thanks for having The Times on the sidelines. Let's hope we see Phillip Island & Inverloch Football Netball Clubs back on top next year!

Endangered species was the theme and the staff partied as though it was their last! The Shearing Shed became a reserve for animals - great and small. Have you ever seen a mermaid dance with a polar bear? We have! Thanks P.I.N.P. staff and keep up your good work!

The Times wound back to the clock to 1969, the summer of love, celebrating Andi’s 50th Birthday at the very groovy Clifftop Resort at Smith’s Beach. It was night of flower power, bell bottoms, lavender tinted glasses, psychedelic colours and beautiful music.

We, and our guests, just loved you! Someone requested a song, which you played - it was their favourite song and they had never heard it played live before. That was super meaningful to them. You guys really built up a huge positive energy in the room, and for everyone dancing. Thanks so much for being so awesome, and for making our wedding so special!

Oggy and Boots, there are no greater legends on Phillip Island. What a privilege to perform for their 60th birthday celebration at the Board Riders Club, April 6th, 2019. Our first gig we ever played on the Island together was actually on the Board Riders stage with ‘The Push Carts’ some years ago. Some wonderful memories and rich history were formed back then and even more the night of Oggy and Boot’s 60th. In the words of the great men, “We couldn’t have scripted it better ourselves”.

“David and Mark, The Times Duo are a class act. Talented musicians who know how to read the room and play accordingly. Great song selections too!

Our delegates enjoyed the background music while they were eating and then danced the night away once the volume was turned up later in the evening.

David was great to deal with from the initial enquiry through to the event date. I would highly recommend these guys for any event.”

Weddings are awesome! And none was more awesome than the wedding of Meg and LJ at Island Bay Ranch, Phillip Island. The two stunning brides secretly got married the day before on the beach. The next day they surprised their guests announcing the ceremony had already taken place and they launched straight into the reception festivities. The dance floor filled up and the brides boogied all the way into happily ever after x

We’ve had many highlights over the summer and one that definitely makes the list is Chloe’s 18th Birthday Pool Party. High vibe flyin’ pandemonium.

At the Food Truck Carnival tour of Victoria this summer we’ve dropped some tasty beats at the Caribbean Gardens, stimulated some sun shiney vibes on Phillip island and this Sunday we’ll return to the tour, this time at Buchanan Park Berwick to sizzle the stage!

What an amazing night! Despite the channel challenge being postponed til next month it didn't stop everyone from competing for coolest moves on the dance floor. Local legend Bobby Mathews even joined us on stage before launching into some crowd surfing. This Super Bike weekend we're back at the San Remo Hotel teaming up with Dan Lunn as support to deliver some more high energy good time live music.

Such an honour to perform for Kim and Andrea on their special day. The gorgeous couple were surrounded by fun loving family and friends who really know how to work the dance floor. A perfect start to their happily ever after.

Epic night at The Esplanade Hotel in Inverloch! Over 600 happy patrons across two rooms partying with The Times and DJ DBOY
