About

All across North America, the Dueling Piano concept is taking the entertainment industry by storm! Along with this success has come a multitude of independently operated businesses offering Dueling Piano entertainment. But beware, not all Dueling Piano shows are created equal!

Many of today’s Dueling Piano companies are operated by musicians representing themselves without agency support, existing full time work, or even a reasonable amount of professional experience. Therefore, these companies, with only three or four entertainers (and in some cases, only a single entertainer), will do whatever necessary to make you believe that their show is exactly what you are looking for.

In comparison, Dueling Pianos International has a roster of over 150 professional Dueling Piano players who work full time in traditional sing-along Dueling Piano establishments. You wouldn’t buy diamonds from a street corner vendor. Nor should you invest your hard earned entertainment dollars with anyone less than Dueling Pianos International!

Dueling Pianos International was established in response to phone calls from the dissatisfied customers of other Dueling Piano companies. Most corporate talent buyers have only experienced the Dueling Piano concept while on vacation. Again and again, they have expressed their displeasure and dismay that the content in the Dueling Piano show that they received from another company was nothing like the show the saw in Las Vegas, New Orleans, or Orlando. Not with Dueling Pianos International! If you are expecting a show like the one you saw in a world-class venue, we have the expertise and the resources to ensure that you get exactly what you are expecting.

Dueling Pianos International offers the largest network of Dueling Piano players in the world. Dueling Pianos International is not run by Dueling Piano players. Rather, it is owned and operated by the largest entertainment agency in the Midwest. We are a full service event production company with over 30 years of experience in stage production.

You’ve seen the rest, now it’s time to make the most of your entertainment dollars with the best: Dueling Pianos International. Give us a call today at 248.398.9711. One of our friendly and knowledgeable agents will be happy to help you explore just how much of a difference Dueling Piano entertainment from Dueling Pianos International can make in your bottom line!

Amazing! Highly recommend

I cannot recommend Dueling Pianos enough!! Jason was absolutely amazing to work with in the beginning of the process. He helped us get our contract situated and answered all our questions. Tim and Mike were our entertainers and they were absolutely amazing!!! We had them at our wedding in October and EVERYONE loved them! The guys were hilarious! They had the perfect amount of interacting with the crowd and doing their own thing. Mike and Tim used props too which were great! They played/set up the music for our outside ceremony, announced our bridal party and announced us as we we entered the venue, helped with the speeches, helped keep our timeline going-with first dances and cake cutting etc. and amazing lighting for all the dances and entertainment. They had a variety of music-top pop songs, older songs, country, classic rock, jazz etc. they played something for everyone to enjoy! They also play their pianos and then switch to DJ and then back to pianos which helps keep everyone interested too. No one wanted them to leave the venue when it was past time that they were supposed to stop playing. We couldn’t be happier with how our wedding entertainment turned out! Thank you for everything!

I would like to add that my husband’s work had Dueling Pianos for their for 2018 holiday party-and those entertainers were amazing too! I don’t remember the names of the guys at that party but I remember it was wonderful! We were one of the last ones to leave that party and we were definitely one of the couples that didn’t want the night to end!

Tim & Mike did an amazing job at our July 2nd wedding. They showed up, set up, and I didn't have to worry about a thing. I was nervous about having to entertain my guests the entire night - not wanting them to get bored which is why I thought dueling pianos might be something different and fun. I'm so glad we went with them! Mike and Tim switched between DJ music and dueling pianos the entire night gauging the audience on the energy and what people we up for. People were dancing and singing up until the VERY last song. We closed the place down. I don't think I've ever seen so many videos come out of a wedding, pictures always, but with the fun things they did to get everyone involved, all the camera videos were going. My dad was actually crying laughing at the video re-cap of one of his special performances. I couldn't have asked for better guys to work with, they were funny and did whatever I asked, with me having little invovlement and just knowing they would keep the party going. Thanks Mike and Tim!!

Dueling Piano's played for our wedding. It was by far the BEST choice we could have made for entertainment, and worth every penny.

Michael was our lead piano player and MC, and he did a PHENOMENAL job. Guests were up and dancing all night, and he did a great job as the MC. He was professional, funny, on-point, and made sure the music was appropriate for our venue and guests. He added fun touches like having the groomsmen dance the YMCA in costume, playing college fight songs, and otherwise making the entire a night a fun, energetic party. This was not your standard show like at a bar. The show was completely geared towards a wedding, and getting people up on the dance floor dancing and singing. After the wedding many of our guests contacted us to say how much they loved the pianos—it seems like the music was by far everyone’s favorite part about our reception!

Leading up to the wedding the company did a great job about keeping in touch and making sure we were all on the same page and had the plan sorted out. In the weeks ahead of the wedding Bridget made sure to get our schedule and get our music choices figured out. Michael called me a few days in advance and walked me through the plan to make sure he knew what we wanted and knew how to pronounce all the names. He clearly knew exactly what he was doing, so I knew I was in good hands. The day of everything went off without a hitch, and everyone had a great time.

Dueling Pianos International made our wedding reception a HUGE success. My fiancé and I wanted something different for our reception (which can be scary) and we scoured the Internet searching for just the right thing. After considering several alternatives, we are so glad that we chose Dueling Pianos International. Jason was knowledgeable and helpful and really took the fear out of everything. He went above and beyond to give us the advice we needed to make sure everything ran smoothly. The show was better than we could have hoped for! There was never a dull moment, the dance floor was full all night, and I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. The entertainers were both amazing! They were so flexible and accommodating, not only did they perform their dueling pianos show but they DJed! We heard from our guests that our reception was the best one they had ever been to. THANK YOU Jason and Dueling Pianos International for making our wedding night perfect.
Highly recommended!!

My husband and I have always been crazy about dueling pianos, so when we were planning our wedding we thought it would be fun to find a company that could provide us with this type of entertainment at our recpetion. I searched the web and found Dueling Pianos International. I was so impressed with their service from the very beginning. They were organized, answered ALL of my many questions, and took all of my requests seriously. The two piano players who performed were talented and classy...really just as good as what we've seen in Vegas. I'm still getting complimets from my family and friends about our fun and entertaining reception. Awesome all the way.

We called Lorio Ross Sterling Entertainment and inquired about the availability of Newsmaker. An agent named Jason Scarcelli informed us that Newsmaker was not available on our wedding date and asked me if I had ever considered dueling pianos at our wedding. I?m glad he did. Our guests are still sending me emails telling me how much fun our wedding reception was. The DJ who played after dueling pianos was also outstanding. Thank you Lorio Ross!

Lorio Ross is a great compnay who represents only professional & talented musicians.

Rob Artinian was our DJ. He was fun and made sure everyone (head of the Detroit Golf Club, photographer, wedding party, etc) was coordinated. He asks what style of music you want to be played and what you do NOT want to be played which was important to me. He also takes requests which is great, but plays them with discretion. All and all everyone was on the dance floor as soon as he started until the end of the night!

The Cheers Duo were our musicians for the ceremony and cocktail hour. They are extremely talented and quick learners of any music you would like them to play. They are a Flute & Keyboard (but the flute becomes a sax during the cocktail hour). They are versatile and professional. They were able to learn 3 non-traditional songs within 2 weeks to play for our ceremony. It was perfect. Highly recommend them.

Simone Vitale did a WONDERFUL job!! The music that they played everyone loved, and danced to all night long. Everyone kept telling us they sound just like the artist that they are singing! Our reception was on the lake and people told us that we had about 15 boats anchored out listening to the wonderful music. No one wanted the music to stop, they wanted them to keep playing all night long. If you want people to dance at your wedding, then you need to have Simone Vitale!
