The Times Duo Wins Best Live Entertainment for Phillip Island & Gippsland

Six years. Six wins. One very big thank you.

We’re incredibly excited to announce that The Times Duo has once again been named Best Live Entertainment for Phillip Island and Gippsland at the Gippsland and Phillip Island Wedding Awards.

And yes… that makes it six wins in a row!

For two local musicians from Cape Woolamai, this means a lot.

We’ve spent years playing weddings, parties, pubs, corporate events and celebrations across Phillip Island, Bass Coast and Gippsland, so being recognised by the couples and people we’ve had the pleasure of performing for is something we’re genuinely proud of.

More than just a wedding band

While weddings are a huge part of what we do, The Times is about much more than the traditional wedding band.

We play everything from relaxed background music while guests arrive, through to full-volume dance-floor sets when the party really gets going.

We can provide live music, DJing, PA and lighting, making The Times a flexible entertainment option for weddings, private parties, corporate functions, birthdays and other celebrations.

And because every event is different, we don’t believe in simply turning up and playing the same set every time.

Sometimes it’s a relaxed afternoon at a vineyard.

Sometimes it’s an outdoor stage at a private property.

Sometimes it’s a packed Phillip Island dance floor at midnight.

Our job is to read the room, choose the right songs and help create the atmosphere the occasion needs.

Proud to be a local Phillip Island band

Being based in Cape Woolamai, we’re lucky enough to perform regularly throughout Phillip Island and the Bass Coast.

Over the years we’ve played at many of the region’s weddings, pubs, private properties and major events, as well as venues and events across Gippsland.

That local connection is something we really value.

We know the venues, we know the area and, importantly, we know that people come to Phillip Island and Gippsland to celebrate.

Whether you’re planning a Phillip Island wedding, Bass Coast party, corporate event or private celebration, we love being part of it.

Thank you!

Most importantly, this award belongs to the people who have put their trust in us.

To all the couples, families, friends, businesses and event organisers who have booked The Times — thank you.

Thank you for letting us be part of your weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, work functions and unforgettable nights.

And a massive thank you to the amazing wedding and event suppliers we get to work alongside. The photographers, celebrants, venues, planners, caterers, DJs, florists and everyone else who helps make these events happen.

Six consecutive awards is something we never take for granted.

We’ll keep doing what we love — playing great live music, getting people on the dance floor and helping create memorable nights.

If you’re looking for live entertainment for a wedding, party, corporate event or celebration on Phillip Island, Bass Coast or throughout Gippsland, we’d love to hear from you.

The Times Duo — live music, DJing and good times.

Cowboy hats, country tunes and a packed dance floor

We recently had the pleasure of playing a 40th birthday party with a full cowboy and cowgirl theme, and everyone absolutely committed to it. Boots, hats, denim and plenty of country spirit made for a seriously fun night.

To match the theme, we leaned into a country-style set featuring songs like Tennessee Whiskey, Wagon Wheel, Stuck in the Middle and The Joker. It didn’t take long before the dance floor filled up, and it stayed that way for most of the night.

One of the things we love most is tailoring our music to suit the occasion, and this party was a perfect example of how the right songs can completely transform the atmosphere. Great people, great costumes, and a dance floor that never really slowed down.

Happy 40th birthday Michelle, and thanks for letting The Times be part of such a memorable night. Yeehaw!

5 in a Row!

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!

Summer Weddings 2020

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!

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!
