We chose Andrew to DJ our wedding because we loved that he offered to play live piano. He was absolutely wonderful! Andrew played the piano for the ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner, and then switched to DJing for the remainder of the reception. We relied on his expertise in helping to choose both the piano music and reception music, and are so glad we did. He knew what to play to keep our guests out on the dance floor. We received so many compliments from our guests about how wonderful our DJ was. Everyone thought the live piano was beautiful, and had a blast out on the dance floor during the reception. We highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for an amazing wedding DJ! - Renée & Mark 9/17/17

Andrew is an amazing DJ!

Having a good DJ at your wedding can make or break the night - and Andrew truly did make our wedding! We immediately were drawn to him since he plays the piano in addition to DJing and we knew it would be a really nice added touch to our ceremony (it was!!) After speaking to him for the first time, we knew we were a good match and felt he was understanding, patient, flexible, calming and very organized! We are so glad we used Andrew as he executed the day perfectly - from bringing all the highest quality equipment, to working with the venue and other vendors, to leading the guests seamlessly through the evening and then keeping them on the dance floor for the whole night - he does it all! He does a great job at reading the room and the crowd and we still have guests raving about the music at our wedding!

Awesome Wedding DJ & Live Pianist!!

I would highly recommend Andrew Westphal for all of your live piano and DJ needs! We hired him to do live piano at our ceremony and cocktail hour, and then transition into DJ'ing for our reception and he absolutely crushed it! Our guests loved the ambience he was able to set for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and he was able to easily accommodate our requests for specific songs for our walk down the aisle (it seems like he could probably learn just about anything you could want!). 
Then for the DJ'ing he was a perfect MC, bringing the energy and knowing when to talk and when to let the music flow. Planning was a cinch with Andrew -- after a few phone calls to get to know each other and filling out a sheet with some music themes or vibes he took it all from there and let us focus on just enjoying our day. His ability to do both the live music and DJ'ing at such a high level was great logistically for us as well -- one less vendor to coordinate for the big day!
All in all, if you're looking for live piano, a fantastic DJ, or both -- Andrew's your guy!
