The Dueling Pianos are an absolute must! We had them play at a dinner function - 106 women (plus a few men) from Sydney Australia enjoying a night out in St Louis. They did not disappoint. We sang, we danced, we partied! They have a great sound, could play anything and were just wonderful entertainers. We loved the night, so thank you!!!! Highly recommend. More...

So easy and so accommodating! They took all of the stress out of our wedding day and helped everything go so smoothly. Rick and Cam rocked the night and everyone had a blast. Best decision made.

Spanky's did my wedding over the past weekend. We had an absolutely amazing time! They catered to everyone's musical taste. If they were unsure of how to play a song they looked it up and then rocked it a couple of minutes later. We had so many people come up to us during the wedding and say how creative and cool having Spanky's come and play. I could not recommend these guys more to play for your wedding or event. Made the night! More...

We absolutely love Spanky Entertainment!! Words cannot describe how awesome they were for my wedding last weekend. They did everything seamlessly and had everyone dancing all night long. So many people have told me that ours was the most fun wedding they had ever been to and that was because of the pianos. They even let me sing with them!! Just the best decision ever for a wedding!! Thank you all again for being so accommodating and incredible talents!! ~The Smith’s � More...

Dueling Pianos did an amazing job at our daughter's wedding! In addition to playing and singing for 3 hours straight, with NO breaks, they also introduced the wedding party, played background recorded music during dinner, and made announcements. They were able to sing the song that the bride and groom chose for their first dance, and did it so well that most people took a minute to realize it was being sung live! They took requests all evening, and we never had an empty dance floor because of their energy! And the talent...! Singing, playing piano, beatboxing, "drumming", and even harmonica! I was a little worried because our venue was fairly small and packed with people, and the space allotted for the entertainment was just a small corner to one side of the head table. But the guys were able to roll right through a small path during cocktail hour to set everything up with no problems. They were very professional, and our guests had a great time! Highly recommend!!
