The Philly Keys

There are not enough stars to rate the incredible professionalism and electrifying performance of The Philly Keys from our wedding on May 28, 2023. Brian was so wonderful working with 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.

The Philly Keys are awesome! They were incredible in every way including during the ceremony, the cocktail hour, and most importantly the reception! The dueling pianos (+ guitar + 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.

Brian and team are absolutely fantastic. We hired them to do something a little different, and boy did they pull out all of the stops! Super easy to work with beforehand, and seamlessly 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!!

If they are available for your date, book them. I've never reviewed a product, or any other service ... but I have to add our voices to the chorus of praise for Brian and the Philly 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.

I cannot say enough amazing things about the Philly Keys. From my first phone call with Brian to our last dance to Piano Man at the wedding, they were the most professional, creative, 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!!

The Philly Keys were GREAT! Everyone loved this unique, talented, and interactive act. Brian was great at facilitating the reception, and the band was tuned into the vibe of the event 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!!

Fantastic! Booked Philly Keys for a wedding 9.10.22 expecting some good music, but they are so much more. They recreate the full wedding band experience, at way less the cost, but 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!

By far the biggest highlight of our wedding, the Philly Keys are consummate professionals and worked with us on tons of details before and during the wedding weekend. They went above-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.

The Philly Keys were the highlight of the night and everyone was out of the dance floor! We got married at La Peg and Brian was our mc in addition to performing and everything was 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!

My (now) husband and I knew from the beginning we wanted a band for our wedding and when we came across The Philly Keys and their dueling piano show, we were intrigued from the start. 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!

Bc of covid we had a party that went from 70 to 35. We wanted entertainment for dad’s retirement party, but a DJ did not make sense with amount of people. We are so glad we got these 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!!!

Amazing!!! Our guests are still asking me almost 3 weeks later the bands name so they can book them for upcoming events. My husband & I were worried that our guest wouldn’t appreciate 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.

The Philly Keys made our wedding so memorable. Everyone loved the music and the interaction and being able to request their favorite songs. Brian was helpful from beginning to end 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!

The Philly Keys were so much fun! Our guests had the best time and LOVED the music! They were easy to work with and super responsive leading up to the wedding. At the wedding they were AMAZING! They played such a variety of songs and everyone LOVED it! Thank you Philly Keys!

Great to work with! Hired for our wedding and it was fantastic! So much so, that we extended them an extra hour. Fun and enjoyable for all guests at any age. Would absolutely hire them again. They are fun, talented, and add a different touch to your wedding!

So much fun!!!! This was the best idea we had for our wedding. Brian was super easy to communicate with, and made wedding planning (and replanning) during covid so much less stressful. 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!

The Philly Keys was the best decision we made for our wedding!! What a cool and unique experience that all of our guests loved and raved about!! They were soooo easy to work with and 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!!!

Book these guys now!! They were amazing. So easy to work with and incredibly talented. They have so much energy and created a memorable night for us! From ceremony to final dance, everything was perfect. Thank you Brian and band - we had a blast!!

WOW! What a wedding reception we had! If you love live music and/or dueling piano bands, you MUST book The Philly Keys! We had a 5 piece band for our reception (2 pianos, guitar, 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!

Wow! The Philly Keys were absolutely the best choice for our wedding!! I'll start with the ceremony, Brian did an amazing job of playing keyboard music for our ceremony processional 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!!

Look no further, BOOK THE PHILLY KEYS! They were truly the hit of our wedding; we received more compliments on them then anything else. Brian is amazing, my dad insisted on “Sunrise, 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.

Let me tell you something, The Philly Keys are Key (no pun intended) to hosting a great wedding. From start to finish Brian and his crew did a fantastic job keeping my wife and I up 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!!

I want to recommend Brian and the Philly Keys to everyone! Brian was great to work with, and our guests were blown away at the first song- Gin & Juice! We weren’t sure our guests were 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!

If you are getting married in the South Jersey or Philly area, you have found your band right here. The Philly Keys played at our wedding on 10/12/20 in Ocean City, NJ (we were originally 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!!!

The Philly Keys played my wedding 10/16/20 and they made the party amazing! First, the band was flexible and talented enough to play the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception (they 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!

When planning our wedding, we immediately knew we didn't want to have just a DJ play pre-recorded music like most all weddings do - we wanted something unique and different. Hiring 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!!

The philly keys performed at our wedding and they were the best! Everyone was talking about them all night! We were so happy on how everything turned out! We would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for amazing wedding entertainment!

Honestly Brian is the best vendor we have ever worked with.( I did event planning for a living, so I’ve seen a lot). We’ve had to make some wedding adjustments due to Covid and he 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!

Brian and The Philly Keys are extremely talented musicians. There isn't anything they can't play and they play it well! Everyone was on the dance floor from the second it opened to 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.

Picking the Philly Keys was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! The Philly Keys are easily the best value we found for live music and my husband and I loved working 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!

We were SO lucky to have stumbled upon The Philly Keys while looking for our wedding music! My husband and I love going to dueling piano bars, so after speaking with Brian about the 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!

Book The Philly Keys. My husband and I knew we wanted dueling pianos for our wedding reception in August 2019. After a long internet search, we booked with The Philly Keys even though 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.

This amazing band played at our wedding on 10/26/19! According to my father, father of the bride, there are three things needed for a memorable wedding: good food, good music, and 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!

Okay....so when my daughter wanted a band for her wedding and after finding out everyone seems so expensive, she thought she would have to go with a DJ. So when she heard about The 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.

It has been about three weeks since our wedding and all of our guests are still raving about The Philly Keys! When initially researching wedding bands, I was floored at how expensive 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!!!

Brian was fantastic to work with and made the whole process easy. Our guests kept complimenting how fun and energetic the band was. We could not have asked for better entertainment!

Without a doubt one of the best decisions we made when wedding planning was to use the Philly Keys as our music. Brian and his band were very accommodating and helpful and were the 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!

Brian and the Philly keys really made our wedding day so much fun and memorable! Dueling pianos are the way to go, and so are the Philly Keys! Brian was a breeze to coordinate with, 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.)

We hired The Philly Keys to play our wedding at Reading Terminal Market earlier this month, and we can’t say enough good things about them! Brian played piano during our ceremony and 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!

If you want your wedding to be fun, memorable, and different you need to check out The Philly Keys. Our wedding was the way up in Bloomsburg, PA and they travelled to us with no 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 !

Brian and his crew traveled to the Poconos for us and played at our weekend this past weekend. To say they were a hit would be an understatement! Brian played our ceremony solo and 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!

We were fortunate enough to have the Philly Keys play at our outdoor, beach wedding a few weeks ago. Let me tell you, EVERYONE is still raving about Mike, Dave, and the entire Philly 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!

We were so excited to have the Philly Keys at our wedding. They absolutely made an already special day incredible. Brian has a fantastic team- we have seen them play in a variety 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.

My daughter wanted something different than a DJ but not the cost of a full band which ties you into a certain style of music anyway. She found the Philly Keys and what a great find! 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!

At the onset of wedding planning one thing was certain: we were having a band. Then came the challenge of finding the right one, and we absolutely did with The Philly Keys. They gave us the ultimate dance party wedding so much so we basically had to kick people off the dance floor at the end of the night. Brian played guitar and piano for our ceremony and cocktail hour, with the four piece band set up for the reception. We could not recommend them more to anyone looking for an easy and flexible group to work with, affordable and all around a great! Beyond their talent, the set up of all request was a big hit and a huge crowd pleaser. THANK YOU!

I'll make this as simple as possible - just book The Philly Keys if you want the best wedding entertainment at the best price!

The Philly Keys exceeded our expectations in every way. They are exceptional entertainment and know how to get a party started and keep it going. We booked them to do our whole evening including ceremony and cocktail hour music. No exaggeration, I can't count how many of our guests told us our wedding was the best they've attended.

Here's why you should book The Philly Keys. I'm a musician myself who did it for a living for 14 years. When we were researching wedding bands it just got exhausting. Every one we clicked on said THE SAME EXACT THING: 4 lead singers, best band in the world for 10 years, killer horn section, etc. We were about to just close our eyes and pick one because they're all sooo amazing so why waste any more time when we got to see The Philly Keys at my college friends wedding in West Chester, PA. It was a dueling piano show which I was admittedly interested in since nothing of the sort had come up in my search thus far. Simply put, they completely rocked. The set list was created on the spot by guest requests, they were great singers and players but it was their personalities and sense of humor and ability to get everyone engaged in ways that wedding bands simply don't know how to do. And guess what, no one missed the 4 lead singers, or killer horn section etc. bc NO ONE ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT THAT STUFF!! My voice was gone until the middle of the week because they encourage not only dancing but sing alongs from the crowd. So we asked them if they'd travel to Long Branch and they said yes and when they told me their price I literally lol'd and said "dudes we're booking you right now." Brian played ceremony and cocktail music, then we had the set up with The dueling pianos and drummer and I really can't count how many guests said they were the most fun wedding act they'd ever seen. The fact that we actually saved $5,000 by booking them instead of one of our other choices was just icing on the cake. A lot of icing!

If you are looking to give your guests a real treat, look no further than The Philly Keys. We wanted everything about our wedding to be different. My husband and I are in our 30's, we've been to a hundred weddings and they're always pretty much the same. We had ours outside under a tent. We had backyard games set up, a fire pit to toast marshmallows, cajun style buffet, and best of all...The Philly Keys. These guys played every fun sing along and party song that you have forgotten about from the last 40 years. They left request slips on all the tables during dinner and announced that it was an all request show so guests already had plenty of songs written out before they start. And really they could not be stumped. Thank you Brian and Jimmy. You guys are simply amazing!

The Philly Keys helped make our wedding one of those that stood out and one that our family and friends will keep talking about! When deciding on entertainment for our big day, we wanted something fun and more unique than a standard DJ, but not a large band. The Philly Keys fit into that niche; they helped take our wedding up a notch! Brian was easy to work with through the planning process and we appreciated his level of preparation. He and fellow piano player Adam were able to accommodate our music genre requests, as well as read the vibe of the crowd. Everyone loved putting their requests up on the pianos. Some of the more memorable moments included a Happy Birthday serenade involving a song from Top Gun, as well as hearing the "Baby Shark" tune that made all of the kids happy! Brian and Adam just made the dance floor fun! We definitely walked away from our experience with the Philly Keys thinking they were one of those wedding vendors that was worth every penny!

Ya know the dancing compilation scene in Wedding Crashers where Shout is being played...that was our entire reception thanks to The Philly Keys. I'm not just being nice because we like these guys, they seriously put on a party like no other! The fact that they invited guests to make requests and played them (well the fun ones at least), made everyone feel like they were part of the show. It really was very special and it is all thanks to The Philly Keys.

I really can't say enough about the Philly Keys. They were the most fun and entertaining live act I've ever seen at a wedding. They had a hilarious skit with me and my wife and even had a dance battle between the bridesmaids and the groomsmen. The whole place was cracking up. On top of that, the music was absolutely lights out. They play several instruments and played all the best dance and sing along songs. The Philly Keys made our special night, truly unforgettable. Thanks guys and best of luck!

Stop what you're doing and book The Philly Keys immediately. Brian and his team played my wedding last weekend and he brought down the house! Brian is so down to earth and incredibly talented, it felt like we were at a concert and not at our own wedding reception. Family and friends keep complimenting us still on how fun, interactive and unique it was having dueling pianos at our wedding, and I can't tell you how much fun we had. Brian is the absolute best in the business, period. Thank you, Brian!

When my husband and I had the idea to have dueling pianos at our wedding, we really weren't sure if a) that was a thing and we could find a pair to do it and b) it would work for wedding entertainment. We were SO lucky to find The Philly Keys. Their talent is unbeatable, and they are fantastic guys. They were able to beautifully play acoustic songs that we selected on both piano and guitar, as well as hit the play button on recorded tracks that were better for our parent dances and first dance as a couple. More importantly, they truly created an unbelievable party, feeding off the crowd, taking requests, and even surprising us with a cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody" to end the evening, to my Queen-loving heart's delight. We had so many compliments from our guests on how talented, original, and fun The Philly Keys were, and we highly recommend them!

Boy oh boy where to begin with The Philly Keys. I will say this is the easiest and only 5 star review I've given to the vendors we used at our wedding. Although we were very pleased overall with the entire night, The Philly keys were THE whole show! We were definitely hesitant to book a dueling piano act. Really didn't think it would work judging from the dueling piano shows I've seen but we read the reviews and caught them at another wedding and my wife and I looked at each other after 2 minutes and both smiled and said "yep, this is our wedding band!" What you're going to get with the Philly Keys is a show for everyone there. We had Elvis and Frank requests, Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars requests, Hip Hop, country, slow dances, line dances, sing alongs that everyone was screaming at the top of their lungs and of course the Eagles fight song several times. Thanks a billion you guys!

If you're looking for something different that will have your guests partying the night away, The Philly Keys are a must. We had to have researched 40 wedding bands and they all really sounded great, and had great reviews but they all started to seem exactly the same. The Philly Keys brought something unique and fun. No kidding, so many of the guests said this was more fun than any wedding they had been to. I give my strongest endorsement to The Philly Keys and I really don't know why everybody isn't doing this for their wedding

After seeing the Philly Keys play at bars in West Chester, PA, we knew they would be the perfect band for our wedding. They did not let us down!! Brian did a beautiful job playing during our ceremony and cocktail hour. During the reception, the band read our crowd so well and kept the dance floor packed all night! They played many of the songs our guests requested which was awesome! Brian was an awesome MC and kept things moving smoothly throughout the reception! I highly recommend the Philly Keys for any event you may be hosting!

"ONE MORE SONG! ONE MORE SONG! ONE MORE SONG...." This chant came from all 200+ guests toward the end of our wedding. I believe this review could start and end there, but if you aren't convinced read further. My wife and I have been lucky enough to be invited to many weddings of all different types. When it came time to planning ours, we concluded the most important aspect of any wedding being a great time is the the band or DJ. If that part of your wedding is A+, it doesn't matter when and where you have you wedding, because everyone will have a great time and create great memories. The Philly Keys created an amazing atmosphere for our wedding. I had countless guests come up to me and let me know how amazing they were (and still are a month after the wedding). They were very flexible in playing any song a guest would write down on their song request cards. I do not think you could think of one song (at least in english), that would stump the Philly Keys. If you happen to think of one, there is no doubt if you gave them a week or so notice, they would still be able to play it. The band has several packages, and we chose to have the dueling pianos with a percussionist (drummer). They also played during our ceremony, which gave the ceremony a more intimate feeling. They are based out of Philly, but they were willing to come down to the Jersey Shore to play at our wedding. The videos they post do not do them justice on how amazing they are. You won't get a sense of the atmosphere they create. If you are on the fence, I would recommend catching a show live. They were nice enough to allow us to watch them perform at a wedding (shout out to the bride/groom of the wedding who allowed us to watch). Booking the Philly Keys is a no brainer. You could either have a DJ pick songs off a computer, or you can have a live band entertain everyone of all ages and all types of songs. As a millennial, I say, stop being a millennial and book the damn band!

We hired Brian and the Philly Keys for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with his professionalism, enthusiasm, and attention to detail. They were a great team to work with and greatly enhanced our wedding. As musicians ourselves, the music was an important part of the evening for us. They played off of our crowd's energy figuring out what they were in the mood for and really got lots of people on the dance floor from the first song to the last dance. They were super talented! We thought we hired two piano guys but we got a whole lot more. Very professional sound equipment and set up; soft and mellow guitar arrangements for the ceremony and the cocktail hour; beautiful close out song that wrapped up our big day perfectly! They were also willing to work with us and be flexible as the evening's schedule changed unexpectedly. We'd highly recommend Brian and Philly Keys for whatever party you're throwing!

When it comes to the Philly Keys, I'm not sure where to start. The short of it would be-if you're thinking about booking them-DO IT. If that's not enough - please read on. My wife and I booked the Philly Keys for our wedding. First of all, a dueling piano band is so unique for a wedding. None of our guests had even heard of a dueling piano band at a wedding, let alone been to one. I can honestly say it's one of the best choices we made for the whole wedding. The Philly Keys were not only great musicians, but they absolutely kept the party alive and handled (to my knowledge) every request with ease. The music sounded great, all our guests were rocking out on the dance floor - it was flat out awesome. Brian was also willing to accommodate us needing an early sound check due to the timing of everything. Additionally, Brian was a total pro MCing the reception. I wasn't completely sure what to expect given how different this idea is for weddings. My advice is book them ASAP before this becomes a trend. AND try to get as much as you can out of your event/reception. My only regret is they had to pull the plug at 10 (venue/township regulation). I hope we have an excuse to book them again in the future!!! --Derek & Kaylyn

Brian was so wonderful to work with! The ceremony and reception music went off without a hitch and everyone had a fantastic time. Cannot say enough about how great it was to work with him!
