The Philly Keys were exceptional to work with, down to earth and very responsive. They helped guide and offer suggestions in the stressful process of wedding planning. We took a leap as we never heard them in person before. Based on reviews and listening on YouTube we were comfortable with booking and we are so happy we did. They were amazing, extremely talented! I don't know how they do what they do! It's only been 3 weeks since our wedding, but our guests are still talking about the band today. We are very grateful to have gotten to work with them and have them perform. 100% recommend! They will make your event unique and create memories you'll have forever. -

Absolutely Unforgettable! The Perfect Wedding Band!
We had the absolute pleasure of having The Philly Keys for our wedding, and they were nothing short of phenomenal! From the very first note to the final encore, they had the entire room on their feet, dancing the night away. Every single guest raved about the incredible energy, talent, and charisma they brought to the evening.
The variety in their set list was perfect—everything from classic hits to modern favorites, and they knew exactly how to read the crowd to keep the momentum going in addition to taking requests from our guests. Their musicianship is top-notch, and their vocals are simply breathtaking. It’s one thing to hear them in a video, but experiencing them live was on a whole new level.
Not only were they incredibly talented, but they were also an absolute dream to work with—professional, accommodating, and truly dedicated to making our night so special and memorable! Thank you Brian and thank you Philly Keys!!!! -

You guys this band is one of the most talented bands I’ve seen. Everyone at our wedding was obsessed with how good they were. They took requests all night and the versatility was unmatched. I’ve never heard anyone play a drop on a piano, give a rendition of get low, and also perform frank sinatra.
It was amazing.The Philly Keys's reply:
Ananya
Thank you both for having us! We had the best time. It ain't a party without a little get low. You two were fantastic. Truly a special couple!! -

The Philly Keys-Amazing
Brian (The Philly Keys) were amazing. My husband and I loved dueling pianos, but weren’t sure how this would translate for a wedding! Brian was amazing! He covered all genres of music and kept everyone on the dance floor! He even nailed an acoustic version of a Colin Hay song for our first dance!
Such an amazing night! We Would highly recommend the Philly Keys!

The Philly Keys
The Philly Keys are the absolute best! After watching them perform at a family member's wedding, we knew we needed them for ours too!
The Philly Keys brought so much energy to our wedding and did an amazing job keeping everyone on the dance floor for the entire night. So many of our guests also raved about how talented they were and how fun the live music was. The Philly Keys are truly the whole package and know how to work the crowd. We really appreciated them, especially Brian. From discussing scheduling and answering all our questions to playing the guitar during our ceremony. Brian is a true professional who we can thank for playing a huge role in the best night of our lives.
Choosing the Philly Keys for our wedding was the easiest decision we made. We highly recommended to anyone who wants an amazing band and great music! -

Holly Sent on 12/07/2022Loved, loved this duo!!
This duo was AWESOME! They played at a holiday dinner I attended last night and their music was highest-quality, top-notch, spot-on perfect. Could not stop "dancing" even though I was on crutches! Who needs a DJ when you can have such talented musicians whose live music sounds THIS good and use such high-end equipment? They were also very engaging with the crowd, like with a truly 380 degree approach to customized entertainment, including being great about taking requests. Highly, highly recommend! -

Stop your search and hire the philly keys!
The Philly Keys were the best decision we made for our wedding! I can not say enough good things about them. They are easygoing and still very professional. They had EVERYONE up out of their chairs all night long. We wanted a wedding band at our wedding, but after looking, we found that wedding bands were very expensive. Luckily we found the Philly keys and added a few instruments to make the perfect ensemble at an affordable cost, and WOW, THEY CRUSHED IT. Everyone at our wedding still talks about how fun and impressed they were with the Philly keys! Thank you, Philly keys, for making our night so fun and memorable!The Philly Keys's reply:
Olivia
Thanks so much for the kind words and for having us at one of the most fun weddings we've played! -

Adam Sent on 09/13/2022The best band I've ever experienced!
By far the biggest highlight of our wedding, the Philly Keys are consummate professionals and worked with us on tons of details before and during the wedding weekend. They went above-and-beyond in all aspects, and TONS of guests came up to us during the reception and afterwards to comment on how much the music accentuated the party. Not only did they play great requests, they were un-stump-able with a number of curveball songs we threw them: the "Les Mis" singalong was probably the most fun I've personally had at a wedding, and everyone got super into it. These guys are the pinnacle of wedding (and other) entertainment, so do yourself a favor and HIRE THEM IMMEDIATELY.The Philly Keys's reply:
Adam
You and Jessie were amazing and we're so grateful to have been part of your day. The Les Mis, DuckTales, Ghostbusters theme and every other curve ball your crowd threw our way is exactly why we love doing this!

Having The Philly Keys at our wedding was the highlight of our day! From the first song, our guests were entertained and could not stop talking about how unique and talented they were. Brian played for our ceremony and cocktail hour as well and his team put on an incredible night. He was beyond easy to work with, taking all our ideas, and personalizing as many details as he could before the requests started rolling in from our guests. Not even ten minutes into the reception I was already brainstorming what event we could hire them for next. Highly recommend!!! -

Look no further, BOOK THE PHILLY KEYS! They were truly the hit of our wedding; we received more compliments on them then anything else. Brian is amazing, my dad insisted on “Sunrise, Sunset,” for our father-daughter dance. I do not like the song at all, I talked to Brian and he was able to keep the lyrics but change that old fashion tempo, it turned out fantastic. Our guests were on the dance floor all night, it is a very interactive experience. Their genre range is unbelievable from Earth wind and fire to Eminem, but everything is by request so it is really what ever your guest’s request. I am not giving anything away, but the ending was our favorite part and something from our wedding that we will remember forever.The Philly Keys's reply:
Amanda
Much appreciated for the kind words! Thanks so much for keeping us on board through this crazy year. We had such a great time with you! -

Jennifer Sent on 08/28/2019Unique and Fun!
Brian and the Philly keys really made our wedding day so much fun and memorable! Dueling pianos are the way to go, and so are the Philly Keys!
Brian was a breeze to coordinate with, and flexible with all of the planning and day-of surprises. He 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.) -

Lauren Sent on 08/22/2019Weeks later, and our guests are still complimenting us on the band..
We hired The Philly Keys to play our wedding at Reading Terminal Market earlier this month, and we can’t say enough good things about them! Brian played piano during our ceremony and worked with a close friend of mine so she could sing a song with 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! -

R Yarnell Sent on 06/03/2019Rave reviews from all our guests - spectacular time!
We were so excited to have the Philly Keys at our wedding. They absolutely made an already special day incredible.
Brian has a fantastic team- we have seen them play in a variety of venues and we are always amazed at the talent the team brings. 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. -

Jared Sent on 01/06/2019The Best in the Game
Really excellent wedding entertainment. Brian recommended the Dueling plus drummer option but we decided on the four piece set up. They all played several instruments and knew so many song requests. We also had a DJ for the last two hours and even though he was great too, people definitely were partying more during the Philly Keys set. I would absolutely recommend them for all your wedding entertainment needs. -

Samantha Sent on 10/29/2018The Best Wedding I've Ever Been To
Stop what you're doing and book The Philly Keys immediately. Brian and his team played my wedding last weekend and he brought down the house! Brian is so down to earth and incredibly talented, it felt like we were at a concert and not at our own 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!The Philly Keys's reply:
Sam,
You are the best. Thanks for such a great review. Bok had to have been the most incredible venue we've gotten to play at yet! -

Rebecca Sent on 09/23/2018We had The Philly Keys play for our wedding ceremony and reception and they were amazing. Everyone complimented our choice in music and said how good they were and how much they loved The Philly Keys because not only did they play great and involve the crowd, but they are unique and different in comparison to the typical wedding DJ or band that you've seen a hundred times already. Brian is very easy to work with and responds to your emails almost instantly. Highly recommend them for your wedding, you won't be disappointed.The Philly Keys's reply:
Becca,
Very big thank you for the review and for having us. We had a great time and you two were so easy to work with which makes our job so much more enjoyable. Thanks again! -

Brittney Sent on 02/17/2020They kept our dance floor full all night long!
Brian and The Philly Keys are extremely talented musicians. There isn't anything they can't play and they play it well! Everyone was on the dance floor from the second it opened to the very last song. We have heard nothing but raving reviews from 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. -
