About

Piano Fondue is a full-production show - we bring all the sound and lighting equipment we’re going to need. We’ll get there well in advance of your guests’ arrival, and we will have everything perfect by the time the first person walks through the door. But that’s just the beginning of what full-production means. Our sound and lighting technicians are on site for the entirety of your night as your point-of-contact for anything you need. Our musicians and DJs are there to emcee the whole event. We provide background music for your cocktails and dinner (recorded music by default, but live piano music is available). And then the show starts!

Most nights begin with a first dance - something special to the couple. Is it an obscure song from your first date or is it your favorite song of today? Whatever it is - we will learn it for you and perform a live version that will start the dancing off in inimitable style! After we invite all of your guests to the floor the requests start pouring in, and the night takes off. We usually save Billy Joel’s "Piano Man" for the end, because something special seems to occur every time (surprisingly without any suggestion from us at all!). People flock to the dancefloor and form a giant ring around the wedding couple, singing along at the tops of their voices. It’s the perfect end to a perfect night - OR - it’s the perfect time to shake things up with one of our DJs. By far, our most popular package for wedding receptions is our "Best of Both Worlds" Dueling+DJ party. Two hours of all-request dancing and singing along is followed seamlessly by two more hours of thumping DJ beats. The energy of this night is unparalleled, and the dance floor is filled all night long!

Where to start? Erik was not only a fantastic DJ, but he was also very professional in keeping everything on time for dinner, speeches, the cake cutting, etc. JUST as we had planned. During our phone conference a couple weeks before the wedding, I made it clear that my husband and I didn't want any cliche wedding music played, and he didn't force anything. Heck, who knows the guests better than the bride and groom? He played the exact type of music we discussed, and honest to God, the dance floor in our beautiful barn venue was packed all night. I've been to more weddings than I can count, and I've never seen a dance floor like that. And, the guests still continue to rave over how great Erik was. Moral of the story, he discusses in depth the type of music a bride and groom want (in the end, it's your wedding night) all while keeping the demographics of your guests in mind. And then, he ACTUALLY follows through, unlike so many other DJs. I've heard from so many unhappy brides whose djs didn't play what they'd discussed, but rather played songs they'd asked them NOT to..only to end up with empty dance floors in the process. Erik even asked what year my husband and I graduated, so he could play flashback songs for us and our friends. It was a memorable night to say the least. Oh, and all the playlists they provide to fill out ahead of time are super helpful, especially the "Do Not Play List." My husband and I have lived in LA, Madison, and now Chicago and we've listened to countless DJs at bars, weddings, and numerous work or school-related events. On that note, Erik is By far the best DJ I've ever encountered at a wedding (he actually was the DJ at one of our friend's weddings), and we were willing to get him at any cost for our special day. Anyways, I think the point is clear. Go with Erik, and I guarantee your wedding reception will be unforgettable.

Piano Fondue for our customer holiday party was nothing short of amazing! Our customers got into it immediately and did not want to leave. They have begged for us to do it again because it was the BEST PARTY EVER. We highly recommend for any age group. They are so talented and energetic, you cannot help getting caught up in the fun!
