Dueling Pianos or DJ?

I think variety is key. Although I took piano lessons for years, I don't think I'd want to listen to pianos playing, for 4 hours or more.

I love dueling piano bars, but it definitely depends on what kind of atmosphere you want. If you want people to dance, I'd go with a DJ.

I actually love the dueling pianos idea though you REALLY have to know your crowd for it.

@Kate I don't think we could do it just for an hour...but maybe it's worth asking

@Sarah what do you mean exactly? Do you agree that if we want people dancing then DJ would be better?

I vote no...

If people want dancing, they would prefer a DJ.

My family would LOVE dueling pianos but it would be depending on your crowd.

Dueling pianos sounds AWESOME!! I've been to a few dueling piano bars and they play plenty of music people could dance to and they are so funny and entertaining. This would make your wedding so unique and fun! Also, the non dancers would appreciate the entertainment. 100% spring for the pianos.

I was looking into it because I love them. They were $5000

In my area. If you can afford it I'm team yes

@michelle wow! I got two quotes for $2500 and $2900 and they are both one of the best in Chicago!

That. Sounds. Awesome.

Do I get to vote? LOL!

@wed18 .....no, mom I know your vote! Lol

You really have to know your crowd to pull this off. I would personally go with a DJ. I tried to do something different at my wedding too, so we got a guy who's both a DJ and KJ (karaoke). The karaoke did NOT go over well. I'm glad we had somebody who did both and knew when to cut the karaoke.

Hello Spaghetti...just in case this helps you decide on anything. :-)

I went to a wedding with dueling pianos. I wasn't a huge fan of it. There weren't many people out on the dance floor. It depends on the genre of music you want too; can't really do too many top hits

Dj

I'd book them for cocktail hour and get a DJ for the reception
