They were a blast! We had the pianists/DJ combo at our reception and couldn’t be happier with how it went. The proprietor, Josh DuPont, was easy to work with, plus their online eve...
nt planning portal made customization easy as pie. Nick, our MC and DJ, was their point person and checked in with us regularly and kept the evening running smoothly and on schedule. They are a very professional and entertaining troupe. Highly recommend! 🎹🫕🤩
We loved having Piano Fondue on our wedding day! We opted for pianos all night long and my husband was nervous beforehand thinking that people may not dance to the pianos. He was p...
roven very wrong. We had people on the dance floor the entire night, all the way to the wrap-up at midnight to "Piano Man". Guests had a blast making requests and all the songs we really wanted to hear from the planning session were played. All three performers were wonderful and they kept us right on our schedule throughout the night. We received so many compliments from guests saying that it made the reception so unique and that they all loved it. It was a splurge for us but it was absolutely worth it and would highly recommend them.
We were disappointed in our experience with Piano Fondue. We chose the package that provides 2 hours of piano and 2 hours of DJ. I am giving 3 stars because the DJ, Nick, was aweso...
me. He met with me leading up to the wedding day and was super organized/receptive to our requests. He did a great job selecting songs that fit in with what I was looking for and kept the crowd energized. He also made custom playlists for the cocktail hour and dinner specific to my requests!
My husband loves dueling pianos, so my mom and I arranged to have the pianos be a surprise for him. While it was still fun and something different, the performance was...underwhelming. The performers weren't super energized, and they also didn't play
many of the songs we requested in the planning portal prior to the wedding. I had to ask our best man to talk to them at some point and try to pick up the pace because they were playing some pretty lackluster songs and our guests were all leaving the dance floor. I'm not sure if there was possibly some miscommunication, because they also missed the planning call leading up to the day, so I wasn't really able to stress what was important to me for this portion.
Bottom line- if you've been to shows at the Ivory Room or other dueling piano spots, do not expect this to be the same kind of experience. For the price, you are better off just getting a DJ the whole time.
Piano Fondue was absolutely amazing at our wedding! Between the pianos and the DJ the music was great and kept our dance floor full all night long. We are so happy we chose them!
Absolutely an incredible job. They worked with us to help us achieve our dream wedding from playing the piano as I walked down the aisle to doing dj for a short while right after d...
inner so our young ring bearers could hear their favorite songs before being sent to bed. Very few of our guests have been to a wedding with dueling pianos and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves whether they were sitting at the tables or dancing on the dance floor.
We loved them! They were great entertainment at our wedding!
We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ/MC, pianists, or coordinator. Excellent communication throughout the entire planning process. Outstanding performances. A full dance floor al...
l night! There isn’t a single thing that we would’ve changed.
Our wedding guests absolutely loved Piano Fondue! We booked half dueling pianos and half dj for the night and it was the perfect combination. Anthony and Michael on the pianos got ...
the party started and all of our friends and family out on the dance floor. They are so talented and fun! Then DJ Carlos took over, and he did an incredible job keeping people entertained and on the dance floor all night. They had awesome planning tools, choices and recommendations and were super flexible with all our requests. We highly recommend using Piano Fondue for your wedding!
Piano Fondue did an amazing job at our wedding! We chose the dueling pianos for 2 hours followed by a DJ for 2 hours. It was perfect! It was a great variety for our guests and w...
e received so many compliments on Piano Fondue! The dueling pianos got everyone up and moving at the start of the night - put on a great show and the DJ kept the dance floor hopping until the trolley brought guests home. We would highly recommend Piano Fondue! You will be so happy you chose them for your special day!
They were a pleasure to work with from the start! They were super flexible with coordinating times with our photographers to make sure everything was captured, and kept the dance f...
loor moving all night. The pianos and the DJs did a great job at keeping a good mix of music that everyone enjoyed! Highly recommend, we've gotten so many compliments on them. Well worth it!
Piano Fondue was the best vendor we worked with for our wedding. They were very responsive with questions, and had no problems meeting us before the big day. DJ Travis kept the f...
loor packed all night long. We would highly recommend them to any couple. Website made it easy to chose songs for the night.
We had a truly wonderful experience with Piano Fondue at our wedding this past weekend. We chose the "best of both worlds" package. Anthony and Leslie were a huge hit - we had so...
many of our guests compliment us on how much fun the dueling pianos were and a welcomed change from the wedding entertainment status quo. Travis did an amazing job as DJ as well. He kept the dance floor full the entire night and did a great job using our playlists as a guide and also working in guest requests throughout the night.
Piano Fondue was a huge hit at our dance! They did a good job keeping people on the dance floor and held all my musical friends in awe. Everyone is still talking about how much the...
y enjoyed the entertainment. I highly recommend them!
We did the piano and DJ package and it was the perfect combo for our evening. Guests loved giving requests and singing along to the songs. We had multiple songs where so many peopl...
e were dancing the dance floor was overflowing! As the night went on there was a seamless transition to the DJ which kept people dancing until the end of the night. The entertainers were so good they got people up and moving that we never would have expected to get into it. This unique form of entertainment doesn't come cheap, but we would recommend them to anyone who can afford it.
Everyone was thrilled that we have such a variety of music, and we didn't have to play a single "typical" wedding song to keep the dance floor full. Very friendly DJ and great job ...
coordinating! Thank you so much!
The pianos were disappointing, people really weren't involved, but the dj for the second half was awesome.
Piano Fondue was one of our favorite vendors. They were so responsive and easy to work with. They came to the venue to help us figure out an ideal set up, accommodated all of our m...
usic requests and served as the MC to keep things moving during dinner. Chris was awesome at coordinating everything and Josh was a great MC and entertainer! We went above our initial budget to book them but it was money incredibly well spent! We had a great time and the dance floor was packed all night. We keep getting comments from friends and family about how much fun they had!
I can not rave enough about Piano Fondue. They made our wedding dance exactly what we wanted FUN! And every single person at our wedding dance has been saying the same thing since ...
then. I will admit at first I was worried people may not get into it, but they did and loved every second of it. Not only were the Pianos amazing the transitioning from Piano to DJ was PERFECT! From first dance to father daughter karaoke (Yes we sang Springsteen and Piano Fondue let us!) to garter and bouquet toss everything was done flawlessly. And they kept the dance floor FULL all night :) I more than highly recommend Piano Fondue and DJ Double A who was by far the best I have seen, TRUST ME they are worth every penny spent and they are going to make your wedding very memorable :) !!!
Matt and I first saw these nice gentlemen at a local bar for our 3rd date. Their energy was fantastic and they were super fun! We had seen them several times after that and thought...
how great it would be to have them at our wedding. We are not huge dancing people and we knew a lot of our friends weren't. My parents were kind enough to chip in and make sure we had the group for our reception.
They were great to work with in the planning stages and had awesome suggestions to keep our night flowing. They listened to what we wanted but also kept in mind what our guests would need.
Many guests were hesitant when they received the invites indicating "piano players" but were pleasantly surprised by their awesomeness. Many guests told us that night "this is the most fun we have had at a wedding in a long time".
The night of the wedding, they played "name that tune" which our guests LOVED. It kept their mind off eating until the facility was ready to serve our food. Our guests were fully engaged with Chris and the guys all night. Those who wanted to dance had the opportunity to, and those who just wanted to sing along did.
A few days later, my mom received an email from family friends: "Well, Amanda did a fantastic job planning her wedding. It flowed absolutely perfectly. We had a great time. The wedding was perfect, the food was great, but the entertainment rocked. I haven't been to such a fun wedding in a long time. And, of course, mom & dad were the perfect host & hostess. You all get 5 stars (or the highest amount they give out). We celebrate our 30th anniversary today & it sure brought back wonderful memories to be at an actual wedding on our anniversary weekend. What a nice couple. We hope all goes well for them in their future. Thanks for including us on your invite list. Tom & Mary"
My mom sat through most of the reception watching people. She did not see 1 person frowning or disappointed (and trust me, there were people there looking for something to complain about).
When Matt and I both returned to work, are co- workers bombarded us with how much fun it was. Strangley, we were the ones receiving thank you cards from guests, thanking us for inviting them to the reception.
Usually when you are critiquing someone, you provide "ways to improve". I can not think of 1 thing they should or could improve on. We were so impressed with these guys that we hope that they will be kind enough to play at a future anniversary party.
8 thumbs up complimentary of the Bride, Groom, Father of the Bride, and Mother of the Bride. We could not have asked for a better group to work with!
My only regret in hiring Piano Fondue was that I didn't hire them for longer!!! Our guests LOVED Josh and Chris and are still talking about Piano Fondue weeks after our wedding. ...
The dance floor was packed from the first song. In addition to being a top notch entertainer Chris made a fantastic "master of ceremonies" - he kept the reception flowing throughout dinner and made sure everyone was where they needed to be. We also enjoyed DJ Lizzy who entertained us for 2 hours after our 2 hour piano show. We couldn't have asked for better entertainment!!! -Luke & Stephanie (Sept 2011)
If you want a unique venue for your wedding music, look no further. I did not want the traditional DJ who played the Chicken Dance and Macarena. My (now) husband and I are in our 4...
0’s and wanted a classy act that would be enjoyed by all ages. I was extremely impressed with the professionalism and musicianship (is that a word?!) of Piano Fondue from the time we booked through the one-on-one planning and emceeing and performance at the reception. These guys know what they are doing!
Prior to the wedding they walked me through a very thorough outline of the evening’s schedule and didn’t miss a detail in the execution. PF was receptive to our unque needs and gladly accommodated my request to have my sister sing with them during a very special father-daughter dance. Everyone – yes everyone, commented on how much they enjoyed the wedding and reception and I know it was largely due to Piano Fondue. Thank you for helping to make my night magical!
This might be a bit pricier than other options but trust me when I tell you that the value is there. The range of artists, eras and styles of music seemed limitless. If you have an appreciation for good musicianship (there's that word again!), get a preview by checking out their website and find where they are playing next in the Madison area. Within 5 minutes of listening to them you will know that this is one detail where you can't skimp on expenses. They are amazing.
Chris called me because he had a cancellation for the date of my wedding, and Thank God! The whole night was a blurr of dancing and fun. I am not even sure if anyone particularly...
did any requests but they played and sang for as long as we wanted. I had a smaller wedding and the sound was great and so was the DJ. The whole group was fun and and flexible, very professional and easy going.
We couldn't have been happier with our experience with PianoFondue. They rocked our wedding. Nervous that your guests wont dance with live music?! Think again! PianoFondue will get...
everyone out on the floor enjoying the night! We have heard from so many people about how our wedding was "the best they've ever been to" Couldn't have been possible without them. They even stuck to our play & do not play list. We wish we could've been guests at our wedding! It was wonderful. We even asked them to stay an hour later and they did! No one wanted to leave the dance floor!
We loved being entertained by Chris and Josh at the local bar locations around Madison so having them as our entertainment at our wedding was a no brainer. They were super easy to ...
work with and very professional.
We wanted their fun, witty and awesome talent to be a part of our wedding and they surely did not disappoint! From people being up on the pianos to entertaining the crowd, they certainly put on a show. To this day, I still have people telling me it was the best wedding they have been to and we owe a lot of that to the talent of Chris and Josh. Even the wedding coordinator at our venue said it was the best she'd had ever seen.
We actually can't wait to renue our wedding vows, just so we can have them play again!
If you want a show that surely wont dissapoint and will keep the party going all night, be sure to have Piano Fondue at your wedding!
Thanks again guys Nick & Dona
I first heard Piano Fondue when I was out at a bar with my friends one night. I hired them on the spot! I think they thought I was kidding whe I asked between songs, but when pla...
nning my wedding I wanted everything to be unique.
Chris and Josh were easy to work with and took care of everything I needed from introducing the grand march to keeping the dance floor full until the very end of the night. They knew just what the crowd wanted and by the end of the night they even had my mom up on top of the piano!
All of our friends and family still talk about how amazing our wedding was (3 years later) and they always bring up the fabulous "piano guys".
I would definitely reccommend Piano Fondue to spice up any wedding!!
Our wedding was 12/11/10 - in the middle of a blizzard at Lake Windsor and Piano Fondue made sure everything went smoothly regardless of the weather.
Every single guest we spoke t...
o LOVED, loved, loved them. The dance floor was PACKED all night! It was something special that everyone commented and noticed and we'll never forget our reception.
