The Philly Keys

edding!) but the Philly Keys had our guests safely jamming & dancing all night! Seriously the best wedding purchase ever!

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!!!

n 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!

obably 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!!

nding. 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!

om 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.

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!

ce 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!

they were AMAZING!!! We had the best time and so did our guests.

"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!

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.

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!!!

enjoyed the interaction with the band. Highly recommend and would use them all over again!

e 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.)

ith 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!

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 !

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!

ose 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!

s. 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.

ng 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!

ad 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!

on, I can't count how many of our guests told us our wedding was the best they've attended.

nd 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!

ch 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!

t 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!

he 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.

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!

n 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!

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!

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!

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

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!

gh 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!

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!

n 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!

eling 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
