YOU HAVE TO HIRE THIS BAND FOR YOUR WEDDING!!!!! Our dance floor was packed the entire night, people are still commenting about how awesome they were. They read the room/the crowd, played every genre of songs, took requests, and made the night SO special. They travel as well!!

Joe was incredible and easy to work with! Such a range of songs him and his group are able to ply. Both young and old were on the dance floor of our wedding reception! So professional and thoughtful. We highly recommend them!

Would definitely recommend hiring Joe for your wedding or event. He played at out wedding reception with dueling pianos and a drum. People really enjoyed it and even those just listening said afterwards it was one of the best weddings they had ever attended!! I particularly enjoyed watching as Jeff led all the kids through a "kids dance" involving a tree and a bird. Everyone had a great time and it was a blast. Thanks Joe!!

OMG I don’t even know where to begin, these guys were the best. They were so organized, I did not have to keep track of anything. They had a great mix of music. Everyone was on dance floor, young and old, and they intermixed with the crowd all night long. I never danced so much in my life.

Joe and Jeff were absolutely fantastic! We called them last minute looking for another form of entertainment for our COVID wedding and they blew us away! Right from the beginning, Joe was extremely helpful in developing a timeline for the night. The night of, they both were awesome at keeping us on track and making sure that everyone was having a good time! They are both extremely talented and our guests cannot stop telling us how much they enjoyed them. I would recommend Main Street Dueling pianos for any event, but they truly made our wedding a success!

Main Street Dueling Pianos performed at my wedding & it was a blast! Communication and planning leading up to the wedding was always very timely and informative. They did a great job of ensuring there was a variety of music and that everyone was dancing the whole night! Great experience working the Main Street Dueling Pianos.

Wow... where do I even begin?! These guys are so awesome!! I first met Joe and the band when they performed at my friend’s wedding several years ago, and I knew right away that I wanted them to perform at my own wedding when the time came. I’m so glad that my fiancé (now husband) was in total agreement! All of our guests had an absolute blast and I know they will be talking about our reception for years to come. Main Street Dueling Pianos made our wedding a party, which is exactly what we hoped for. I could tell from the very beginning that we were in good hands and everything would be taken care of on our big day, and it was. Joe’s communication during the planning process, and the band’s energy, vocals, instrumentals, and song selection- was all perfection! We hope we are lucky enough to see them at another wedding in the future.

By far, our favorite wedding vendor that we worked with!!!! We connected with Joe almost 2 years before our wedding. He was one of the first vendors we booked as we knew we wanted dueling pianos at our wedding! He was extremely helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process even helping us decide on other things, unrelated to the music! He has several band options to fit almost any budget and is extremely flexible with payment plans. He is extremely organized and made sure our day ran smoothly and on schedule. I literally did not have to worry once about what time it was and what we should be doing! Now, to the music! Holy cow! Everyone raved about how awesome they were!! The dance floor was packed until last call! I would highly recommend him to everyone for their wedding!

Main Street Dueling Pianos played at our wedding in Petoskey and we could not have been happier with their performance. Joe worked with us ahead of time to make certain everything was just how we wanted it. The band learned (and nailed!) a song just for us. Joe MC-ed the entire event, help ensure everyone was where they needed to be, and also provided some great suggestions - he has more experience in this than we do. Several of our guests told us it was the most fun wedding they’d ever been to. I would absolutely recommend Main Street Dueling Pianos.

Life of the party! We absolutely LOVED having Joe and the gang play at our wedding reception. We are still hearing about how amazing the entertainment was and how unique dueling pianos was for the reception. It was a BLAST and I am so glad that we went with Main Street Dueling Pianos. Book them - you won't regret it!

The most fun I ever had at a wedding was because of these guys. At the time, my husband and I were not even engaged and we knew we had to have them at our wedding some day. They traveled to my wedding in Detroit and all of my guests are still talking about how awesome they are! Joe is a great mc and great to work with. Good entertainment is so important at a wedding, and you will not go wrong with these guys!!!

Perfect! Everything was GREAT!
Joe and his team did a fantastic job at the wedding! My husband and I couldn't be more pleased with the attentiveness and the overall feel that Main Street brought to our reception. Having the dueling pianos and drums was unique and definitely helped our reception standout from others. Thanks again!

Joe and his band members really made our wedding reception fun, well-organized, and upbeat. We have received countless praises from our guests on "how awesome our band was" at our reception. They can play a huge amount of songs and are very accommodating with requests. Joe himself is very professional and responsive when planning for the event. I would absolutely recommend Mainstreet Dueling Pianos for your reception if you are looking for a fun night of dancing with your guests. They are worth every penny for sure.

Having Main Street Dueling Pianos was the nest wedding decision we made. We had heard them at a previous wedding and spent the entire night at the wedding. For our wedding it was obvious who we wanted. They were extremely organized, flexible, and thorough with everything! Our guests talked nonstop about them and people never left the dance floor. We even had to have more tables removed to extend the dance floor!! HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you for making our wedding truly a night to remember!

Main Street Dueling Pianos was the absolute highlight of our wedding!!! They played for three hours straight, with no breaks, and the dance floor was packed the entire night! They allowed our guests to request songs, and they played each song requested flawlessly! Weeks later, my guests are still raving about Main Street Dueling Pianos, and I cannot thank them enough for the amazing job that they did! I would recommend them to anyone who wants to have a wedding reception that their friends and family will rave about!

We had friends use Main Street Dueling Pianos at their wedding a few years back and fell in love with how much fun we had and how unique the dueling pianos were at wedding! When my husband and I got engaged, there was no question who we were using for our music! Main Street Dueling Pianos did not disappoint. From start to finish they worked with the requests we had, were so professional, and performed an amazing show! Everyone was intrigued, impressed, and the dance floor was never empty (the best part!). Joe re-worked a song perfectly to make it appropriate for "our song" - something we will never forget! Main Street Dueling Pianos was the best and easiest decision we made regarding the wedding!

My husband and I are STILL hearing about how great the dueling pianos were at our wedding! I wasn't sure how exactly it was going to turn out since I had never been to a wedding that had them before.
It. Was. Awesome!
I've never seen more dramatic fist pumping in my life than when they ended the show with "God Bless the USA" and every single person (~125) was arm in arm in a giant circle around us singing at the TOP of their lungs!
They really did have everyone up dancing (thanks to a little "Regulators" and Miley to get things going). They played "Hang on Sloopy" (a decidedly "OHIO" song) with gusto for us even though they're from Michigan... The people who didn't dance sang along- it couldn't have gone more perfectly.
Joe was WONDERFUL to work with. I was worried when he let us know that his wife's due date was just the day before our wedding but the backup that he sent was absolutely top notch.
Definitely get the drums to go with your pianos. I think that really added to the show and got people up dancing.
I give 5 stars and recommend them without any hesitation.
