The Philly Keys

Brian was so easy to work with, communicated above and beyond and went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect. They did music for the ceremony, cocktail hour & reception. I would book them again in a heartbeat! Thank you for making our day so special!

ith us through the booking and planning leading up to our wedding day and providing guidance for musical selection when the big day arrived. The entire process was stress-free. The performance of Brian and opposite dueler Elaina combined with the other extremely talented musicians provided all of our guests with an amazing night that no one will soon forget. We cannot express enough how much we thoroughly enjoyed our experience with the Philly Keys and the thrilling show they delivered. We can't wait to see them again! For any newly engaged couples out there planning your day, the Philly Keys will absolutely make your night one to be remembered for a lifetime.

drums) was a huge hit and everyone loved the diverse types of music they are able to play. I cannot recommend them enough! Brian and team were very professional, and communicative it made the entire process stress free.

essly pulled off the entire night from ceremony to reception like the pros that they are. What a hidden gem in the city, Brian had our entire wedding going crazy on the dance floor, and everyone raved about them. Thank you Brian and team!!

lly Keys. Brian and Elaina performed at our ~110 person wedding in June (piano for ceremony, guitar/vocals for cocktail hour, and dueling piano / drums for reception). Throughout the whole process, Brian constantly put our minds at ease - crucial given how stressful the wedding planning process is. During the reception, we switched up the whole order of events on the fly, and Brian/Elaina just went with it - totally fluid, no issues, I can't stress enough how important that was in allowing us to enjoy the event. One quick additional anecdote to share - the night before the wedding, my husband realized he'd sent the wrong links for a couple songs to be DJ'd. He sent an email ~1230am w/ the correct links .. and Brian replied confirming all good about 10mins later. And that was it, super simple, crisis-averted. Our guests were very kind, complimenting plenty of things from the wedding, but The Philly Keys were by far the most commonly noted highlight. They will make your wedding unforgettable in the best possible way.

ve, and reliable vendors I had the amazing privilege to work with. They were fantastic at learning and/or already knowing the music we requested for our Processional, Bride walk, Recessional, First Dance, and Parents Dance. They were a band that took all requests from my guests and went with the flow of the night. There were several options to choose from as far as what instruments to use. We went with a piano for the ceremony and cocktail hour and then 2 pianos and drums for the reception (they even broke out a fiddle for a bit, The Devil Went Down to Georgia was a huge hit!!!) During dinner and breaks, they had music playing on the speakers as well and provided microphones for the officiant and speeches. In all of the planning for the wedding, music was the most important part for us. Having Brian and the other two musicians there truly made our wedding day. Our guests continue to rave about them and I wish I could have another wedding just for them to perform again. Thank you so much to the Philly Keys for making our days the best we have ever had!!

ent and what the guests wanted to hear. If you're looking for an alternative to your run-of-the-mill wedding band or DJ that everyone will remember, book the Philly Keys!!

t also MC, DJ, and help orchestrate announcements, speeches, etc as well. We are not a big dancing crew, but the dance floor was rockin and shaking most of the night and everyone got a request in. They were able to do a few unique numbers for us (which they learned) and adjust to our schedule. They were professional and communicative the entire way through and massively enhanced our event. Everyone still talking about it a week later. You cant go wrong booking these guys!

ve-and-beyond in all aspects, and TONS of guests came up to us during the reception and afterwards to comment on how much the music accentuated the party. Not only did they play great requests, they were un-stump-able with a number of curveball songs we threw them: the "Les Mis" singalong was probably the most fun I've personally had at a wedding, and everyone got super into it. These guys are the pinnacle of wedding (and other) entertainment, so do yourself a favor and HIRE THEM IMMEDIATELY.

smooth sailing. Brian was so easy to work with both leading up to and during the event. The ceremony songs were beautifully played but the dueling piano was out of this world. We went with two pianos and a drummer and they played everything from Lil John to Vanessa Carlton to Devil Went Down to Georgia. All the guests stayed after the last song and chanted for an encore. To say it exceeded expectations would be an understatement even the venue staff was in awe!

art. Brian was easy to connect with and we booked them as our band not soon after our first discussion. They did not disappoint and put on a spectacular show! I am still getting compliments from our guests weeks after our wedding of how great the band was and how much fun they had. The band even went out of their way to practice/perform a customized song for my Dad & I consisting of songs that shouldn’t mesh together well (country and 80s rock songs) but the band made it work, it sounded amazing, and my Dad & I have that special moment to cherish forever. Thank you to The Philly Keys for making our wedding day super fun and memorable! Book this band, you will not regret it!

se guys. Brian is fabulous to work with. Super responsive, showed up early, incredible singers, so funny, and fun. They MADE the party. Everyone!!! Told us how much fun they had and what a great idea it was!! Awesome entertainment!! Get them!! You want regret it. They are incredible!!!

ate a dueling pianos band. Honestly, majority of weddings we’ve been to it’s always the same songs played by a different DJ and we always knew that’s not what we wanted. We are so HAPPY that we went with the Philly Keys. When I tell you every chair was empty at multiple times/songs throughout the night…I have pictures to prove it! Brian & his team were everything every wedding needs & more!! Such a fun, unique idea for any event where you’re trying to get the party started. Thank you again for helping make our day so special.

and in addition to the party music with the dueling pianos the lead beautiful instrumental ceremony music for us as well. Definitely recommend them for your wedding or event!

were AMAZING! They played such a variety of songs and everyone LOVED it! Thank you Philly Keys!

them again. They are fun, talented, and add a different touch to your wedding!

ful. He was flexible, understanding, and responsive. When they got to the venue, they realized the volume restriction from the venue was not going to allow for the best sound experience for our guests. Brian immediately advocated to fix the issue and make it right so we would have the best experience! Our biggest compliment from our guests was how much fun the band was!

nd were so accommodating despite changings dates three times and two locations! Would definitely recommend paying a little extra for the drummer because it made it feel like a full band was playing at times. If you want live music at your wedding, don't waste your money on a full band-- definitely go with The Keys!!!

everything was perfect. Thank you Brian and band - we had a blast!!

drums & saxophone) and the performance was incredible. I was glued to the dance floor most of the night and loved every minute of it. Brian played the piano for instrumental music during our ceremony and it sounded great! Brian was very attentive and replied to my emails quickly. The price was on point as most bands charge 50% or more. Wayyyyy better than a traditional DJ, without a doubt. Our wedding guests are still raving about the band. If I didn’t move to Florida, I’d book him again for an event. Thank you for making our wedding memorable!

al an recessional, gave good ideas of what to play, and learned a song specifically for our recessional. For the reception, they kept the party going all evening long! They truly did an exceptional job and we got compliments from all of our guests! Playing requests only was such a fun way to keep the guests involved. We had three musicians, it felt like a full band, but was much less expensive than hiring a full band. Hire the Philly Keys for your wedding! They were great to work with and the music and party couldn't have been better!!

e, Sunset,” for our father-daughter dance. I do not like the song at all, I talked to Brian and he was able to keep the lyrics but change that old fashion tempo, it turned out fantastic. Our guests were on the dance floor all night, it is a very interactive experience. Their genre range is unbelievable from Earth wind and fire to Eminem, but everything is by request so it is really what ever your guest’s request. I am not giving anything away, but the ending was our favorite part and something from our wedding that we will remember forever.

p to date throughout the wedding planning process. We went with the four piece (Two pianos, guitar and drums) and it was totally worth it. They added humor to speeches, got people motivated on the dance floor with ease and did fantastic covers of Bohemian Rhapsody and Piano Man. The Philly Keys know how to throw a party and recommend to anyone having a wedding or event. My Wife and I cannot wait to go see them at one of their public shows in the future. Don't miss out on these guys, they're fantastic!!

ere going to be comfortable dancing while wearing a mask (2020 wedding!) but the Philly Keys had our guests safely jamming & dancing all night! Seriously the best wedding purchase ever!

ginally supposed to get married in April). Brian was so helpful in rescheduling our date, and made the process super smooth (please note: some vendors were not like this with the pandemic!). The day of the wedding, they killed it. Our guests were SO excited to hear live music, and being able to request songs made it that much more fun. I am still getting messages from people saying how much they loved them. Don't spend a ton of money on some of these other bands, hire The Philly Keys! Thank you so much guys for help making our day SO fun!!!

played all 3 for my wedding, worth it!!). Second, communication with Brian was easy and he helped me make decisions about some things I was unsure about related to song choices at key points in the night. Third, I cannot tell you how many guests stopped my at the wedding and have continued to compliment how professional, interactive and fun the band is. I literally danced all night long. If you want live music, want guests to be involved and a truly entertaining show, you HAVE to choose the Philly Keys!

g a full band can be extremely expensive, so we knew that was probably not an option for us either. Then we found The Philly Keys and I am SO grateful that we found them! Brian was amazing to work with, he was so responsive to all of my emails and MANY questions. He even worked with us through many changes we had to make to our wedding due to COVID-19. We had to change the date and then the venue and with all the changes, Brian was so accommodating and easy to work with. Brian played acoustic guitar for our ceremony which was absolutely PERFECT and set up his sound system so that our officiant could use it for the ceremony as well. Brian also was the MC and kept everything moving throughout the night exactly as we had laid it out for him in our timeline. The Philly Keys made our wedding so memorable, I cannot thank them enough. All of our guests had the best time and it's all thanks to Brian and The Philly Keys. If you are looking for a unique music experience for your wedding you absolutely MUST use The Philly Keys!! I can't wait to go see them play shows elsewhere because I love them so much!!

mend them for anyone looking for amazing wedding entertainment!

has helped so much. He has been incredibly flexible and understanding. Which makes this crazy time so much easier. I appreciate a vendor who is available for calls and truly wants to make your day special. This company is all about the experience.When our wedding happens I can’t wait for the Philly keys performance!

the very last song. We have heard nothing but raving reviews from all our guests, no one wants to go to another wedding without a dueling piano again. However, unfortunately, from a bride and groom standpoint we struggled with them logistically. Well before the wedding we sent them a document with a detailed timeline, a recommended (and must) play list, and a do not play list. We proactively scheduled a phone call to review this document in detail the week before our wedding. It felt like that document was not referenced at all, even after reminding them to look at it. They were constantly asking us logistical questions throughout the evening including right as the ceremony was starting and throughout the reception. They played songs on the do not playlist and made several incorrect announcements about when/what was happening. Unfortunately, this took away from our ability to enjoy the music and have a care-free wedding reception. Musically, and from an entertainment perspective, I would recommend them to everyone, but administratively they required a lot of effort from the bride and groom during the actual wedding. Maybe future couples can print out everything for them to reference and possibly hire a day of wedding planner to make sure they are helping keep things on schedule and following your game plan.

ing with this very talented group of musicians. From the start, Brian was so easy to work with and made planning this part of our day so easy with his quick responses to my many, many questions. We used them for MC, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The Philly Keys were happy to learn a few instrumental Broadway songs for our ceremony, which we so appreciated. For the reception, they got the guests up and dancing and the dance floor was packed all night! We really got all the sounds and energy of a larger band for such an affordable price. We got so much feedback from our guests on how much fun they had getting to make requests and how cool the dueling pianos were. One of my favorite memories of the night was the very last song they did-Piano Man by Billy Joel. The Philly Keys invited the guests to encircle my husband and I and sing along to the song and help to "serenade" us. It was such a special memory to have with all of our loved ones, and such a cool surprise. Highly, highly, highly recommend this band!

e details we knew we wanted to book them! We chose the three piece band and then to our surprise a sax player also came along! It was such a nice addition and really added to the already incredible sounding dueling pianos. The Philly Keys had everyone dancing and were super accommodating to all of the song requests made! They quickly learned our love for Disney and throughout the night went above and beyond to incorporate Disney medleys into songs like "Don't Stop Believin" and "Shout" which was SO COOL. Our friends and family had a blast and could not stop raving how unique, talented and fun The Philly Keys were and my husband and I couldn't agree more!! Thank you so much to Brian and the other band members for making our wedding day so special!

ugh we hadn't seen them in person. We didn't regret it one bit--they were AMAZING!!! We had the best time and so did our guests.

d plenty of booze...well, The Philly Keys over delivered on the "good music!" They were the complete entertainment package & I greatly appreciated the personalized lyric option!! We even had guests compliment us on our band at other weddings, and at a recent family gathering my uncle made it a point to tell us how much he enjoyed the band at our wedding! Thanks, Brian & band!! We look forward to seeing you play soon!

Philly Keys(she never even heard about dueling pianos), my ears immediately perked up! Dueling pianos would be unique and what a twist on a wedding party! THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING!! It was an all request night and they played every imaginable song to perfection. I don't think they ever took a break! Actually, NOONE took a break from dancing. It was hilarious and guests are still raving about the night. So if you want to have a guaranteed fun and successful night, you should totally book these guys.

ve groups were quoting us. Then I stumbled upon The Philly Keys. Not only are they extremely affordable, but they were so easy to work with, and put on a FANTASTIC show. Our guests were able to request the music, which I thought was awesome because it was interactive and got people excited and out on the dance floor. One of my favorite moments from the wedding was when my mom had secretly requested "Amie by the Pure Prairie League" which my parents have sung to me for years. It was such a special, fun moment and I was so happy that Brian and his guys were able to execute it. The Philly Keys played all the favorite classic songs people requested, but were also able to pull off anything (including Lizzo!!) Brian is also the easiest person to work with, which made the planning process a lot less stressful. All in all, I think The Philly Keys were the highlight of our wedding - almost everyone was out on the dance floor all night. I cannot rave enough about them! If you are looking for entertainment for your wedding, look no further. They also have the option to add a drummer (definitely recommend this). Your wedding will be extremely memorable, how many people have a dueling piano show?! It was awesome. Thank you to Brian and The Philly Keys!!!

t!

heartbeat of our reception. Everybody loved the live music and enjoyed the interaction with the band. Highly recommend and would use them all over again!

h, and flexible with all of the planning and day-of surprises. He surprised us with a beautiful acoustic guitar set during cocktail hour, and an incredibly energetic reception with dueling pianos that filled our ballroom with so much fun! What a unique concept, our guests really enjoyed it, and enjoyed being part of the fun by giving requests via post-it notes, per the traditional dueling piano style. Brian was an exceptional emcee, and guided the reception perfectly. They are affordable, and one of the best choices we made for vendors for our wedding. Do it! (Our venue, Colonial Dames in Philadelphia, did not allow "plugged in" instruments, and typically would only allow for DJs - two keyboards were allowed for us, but not drums or guitars. Would definitely recommend drums and guitars if your budget and venue allow for an even fuller sound, but truly, it was still a GREAT and FULL sound even just with two pianos.)

nd worked with a close friend of mine so she could sing a song with him, and was fantastic about recommending different songs for us and providing guidance; we had a non-traditional ceremony and needed some help figuring out a timeline and some appropriate music, and he gave great advice. The band kept things light and upbeat during cocktail hour, and throughout the reception, The Philly Keys made sure that everyone was on the dance floor. We grew up in the 90s/early 2000s and The Philly Keys knew all of the hits that our friends loved from our high school and college years while also incorporating in classics that our parents and their friends enjoyed. They also made the formalities a breeze. One of our main concerns was making sure that people knew where things were around the Market (like where to head for dinner) and that our guests knew they could request songs, and The Philly Keys made sure everyone knew what to do. Brian was extremely responsive to all questions we had throughout the entire planning process. We added a drummer along with the dueling pianos, and couldn’t believe the value of Philly Keys packages compared to some of the other live entertainment we had considered. We would 100% recommend Philly Keys for anyone getting married or having an event of any kind - our guests are still raving about them!

problems. They played our amazing ceremony in the woods and our outdoor cocktail hour. They really shone though during the reception. It was incredibly hot inside our venue and they still had people up and dancing their hearts out the whole tone. Everyone I talked to after said it was one of their favorite parts of the wedding and we even had a few engaged couples asking for their contact info ! We can’t speak highly enough of Brian and his team. They were really easy to work with and answered all my questions right away. We loved them !! Thanks guys !

the dueling pianist played the piano for our cocktail hour (I'm sorry- with all the wedding commotion, I missed his name!). And then the dueling pianos, drums and horn for the after dinner reception. I've been asked many times where we found them because they were just so great! We had a smaller wedding of 50 people, but I have no doubt, they could've kept 100+ people dancing and having an awesome time! Hiring the Philly Keys was one of the BEST decisions we made for your wedding. If you want a band, but don't want the cheesy sound- choose them! THANK YOU for making our day special!

ly Keys team. "Best music we have ever heard at a wedding." "Those guys can sing." "I never sat down." “Where can I see them again?” “Such an easy group of guys to work with.” We had guests of all ages at our wedding from toddlers up to 90 years old. Everyone enjoyed the music. From Bob Marley at cocktail hour to Brett Eldredge for our first dance, to Frozen mash-ups, to Queen, to Bruce, to Lil Nas and everything in between, the Philly Keys played it all. They even played a Polka for my Polish grandmother, which just about made her entire evening! The great thing about the Philly Keys is that they play what you and your guests want to hear! The dance floor was packed the entire night. The Philly Keys were instrumental (get it? haha) in making our wedding one that will be talked about for a long time! THANK YOU!

of venues and we are always amazed at the talent the team brings. At our wedding we were blessed to have Brian and Alaina host the music. The time flew by as guests enjoyed making all sorts of song requests and dancing the night away to the the dueling pianos and even an amazing fiddle solo. Not all of our family is "into" dancing, but even those that didn't were raving about the music the night of the event and days afterwards too! The Philly Keys are an ultra-professional and skilled group and you will absolutely not be disappointed if you book them for your next event. They handle everything and you'll have no worries or stress about the music. They are kind, flexible, and your crowd will immediately love them. Let them make a special event spectacular.

nd! They were so versatile and handled all aspects of our wedding needs. From the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, introductions and reception, they did it all! They are very professional, have great style with fun personalities to interact with the crowd. The music and sound quality was superb and they really got our guests moving. We highly recommend them, they are awesome!
