Loved loved this place. It was my first time going. A bunch of us coworkers went. Fun...something to do. I do not like wine but I did enjoy their Pinot Grigio. There was a downfall, no food trucks. But the Charcuterie board there was good. read more

We've seen them at several fund raising events, they kill it every time. Such a fun experience. One of our favorite things to do in Vegas is the dueling piano bar in New York New York, but since we aren't close to that, the Killer Dueling Pianos is a great substitute. When ever we see their logo on a flyer, we check to see how we can get tickets. read more

These guys are absolutely incredible!!! I have seen them multiple times and booked them for a private event. They really know how to get the party started! I highly recommend booking them for any event! You won't be disappointed!! read more

We recently hired the Killer Dueling Pianos for our wedding and can't express enough how amazing they were! The team is very responsive and prioritizes great communication. They also went above and beyond to provide the perfect sound system for all aspects of our day and even brought in some fun props that kept everyone dancing! We were so impressed by their ability to smoothly transition between special moments in our timeline, making the night feel so fluid! Having live music was such a unique aspect of our wedding and we could not recommend the Killer Dueling Pianos more. read more

"This is what every wedding should have," proclaimed my mom to me multiple times over the course of the wedding reception. "This is awesome," "these guys are amazing," "this is way better than a DJ or band," stated others in my family and wedding group that night and in conversation still to this day 5 months later. Ryan and Donny are incredible musicians and performers. They delivered an act that catered to every background: young and old, local and from afar, those who prefer rock, those who prefer country, those who prefer pop, and those who prefer classics. They were interactive with the crowd, were able to build and sustain the energy on the dance floor, and were able to fulfill requests and fill in the playlist when requests didn't come in. Ryan was by far the best vendor we worked with. We first got in contact with Ryan in 2019 planning for a June 2020 wedding. As with many, the pandemic resulted in us ultimately delaying our wedding reception by three years. He stayed in touch throughout the whole period, did not seek an increase in the price even after the many years, and offered that our deposit could be returned in full if we ultimately did have to cancel the wedding. The price of the wedding package is incredible, even before you experience how amazing Ryan and each of his team are, and the full arrangement of what they provide. You essentially get the entire concert experience with the Killer Dueling Pianos: rockstar musicians, pianos and more (in our case Ryan on the guitar and Donny on the trumpet), lights and props. The team also provided the PA system, music, and microphone for the wedding reception rounding out the complete wedding package. Ryan and Donny also helped guide my wife and I as we were lost in figuring out the music and program. Ryan served as our MC during the wedding and reception, and assisted in guiding things to go just right thanks to his expertise in supporting weddings; fluidly adapting as we modified the program during the event, and offering his recommendation on what to do next. You shouldn't just take it from me, you are welcome to ask anyone invited to our wedding: hiring the Killer Dueling Pianos is how to make your wedding day positively memorable to everyone, if not solidifying it as one of the best days of your life. read more

On vacation in Temecula in March 2022 we got tickets to see these two guys and oh what fun! How great to have this in a vineyard??? SO FUN! Food, Wine, Friends, Music- simple a great night out. They had a special guest that just simply rocked the Violin. Tons of fun. You can request songs with a little contribution of course, standard in the industry. They kept the audience fully engage for over 2 hours! If they come to your area and you want a music filled night out with friends-get tickets! read more

It was a good time! Enjoyed the flexibility to play all kinds of music. Kept the crowd involved

Love these guys. Heard them at Harry's. So much energy and deep knowledge of so many songs. Also great personalities that kept the night fun. Loved every minute. read more

I have a public client that requires clean, fun, and lively entertainment for their employee recognition dinner. It is always a struggle to find something that I can trust to fit our needs. As an event coordinator for over 20 years, I found The Killer Dueling Pianos one of the best entertainers I have ever worked with. They were professional, on-time, clean content, and delivered exactly what I needed plus more. The crowd was clapping, dancing and singing. I highly recommend them. read more

We were so beyond happy with Ryan and Donny at our wedding. They were the best MC's during the ceremony and dinner and then absolutely killed it with the dueling pianos at our reception. They were professional and the best entertainers. We literally had guests singing and dancing the entire night and everyone had the absolute best time. Many of our guests said the pianos were the most fun they've ever had at a reception - and that it was WAY better than a typical DJ/band situation. I cannot recommend The Killer Dueling Pianos enough. read more

These guys were great! They definitely know how to get the party going and keep it going. All of our guests had a great time requesting songs all night long. They are both very nice and accommodating and also offer DJ/MC services for father/daughter, mother/son and first dances for example. They give good advice before the wedding day to help make sure the space is set up for maximum fun times. We were dancing all night long and so were our guests! read more

Dueling piano bars have ALWAYS been my thing, so when I began planning my own wedding, I knew I had to have them. My fiancé and I started our search by showing up at dueling piano performances at different bars and venues. When we experienced The Killer Dueling Pianos in action, we knew they were the ones for us. Ryan and Donnie absolutely killed it. From the start they have been extremely easy to work with. They took the time DURING A BREAK FROM THEIR SHOW to sit down with us and get to know us. They were extremely receptive to our vision and assured us they'd make our wedding entertainment memorable. They did not disappoint. They are truly one-stop-shopping for your wedding entertainment. They had our ceremony area set up with speakers and our song playlist, and provided a mic for our officiant. They seamlessly transitioned into our reception area after the ceremony. They did all of our bridal party introductions and first dances. When their piano music began, everyone was on their feet on the dance floor. They rocked it. Ryan pulled out his guitar for a few songs which was also amazing. They did a wonderful job of playing our previously requested songs, as well as guests' requests. At one point I went up to Donnie and said "I have to pee! Please don't play anything good while I'm gone!" He laughed (everything was good), and asked "Ok, like what?" "Ummmm just don't play Piano Man." I sprinted to the ladies room and back and Piano Man promptly started when I arrived. The entire wedding formed a huge circle and sang along, and my wedding dreams were attained! I said to my new husband the next day, "You know how I know that was a good wedding? I literally was scared to leave the dance floor for a minute because I didn't want to miss any songs." From start to finish, Ryan and Donnie were true professionals and made our night one we will re-live forever. Our guest feedback was amazing and multiple people told us it was "the best wedding they have ever been to." There was never a lull in the music or a dull moment, and I can't thank Killer Dueling Pianos for making our big day absolute perfection. I couldn't recommend them more highly if I tried. Thank you Ryan and Donnie!!! read more

We were looking for a unique and fun experience for our fundraiser guests. The Killer Dueling Pianos totally delivered!! We were SO STOKED with the energy they brought to our event. If you have never been to a dueling pianos show, you are missing out! Ryan and Donny not only have the musical skills to get the crowd on their feet singing and dancing, but they provide family friendly fun and all the little extras that keep the audience participating, singing and smiling throughout the show. We received nothing but positive feedback from our guests. Everyone left with comments like "That was AWESOME!", "They are SO MUCH FUN!" So grateful for their energy and showmanship and can't wait to hire them for our next event. Regardless of whether you are hosting a fundraiser, a company party or a wedding, you and your guests won't be sorry you chose Killer Dueling Pianos as the entertainment. read more

The Killer Dueling Pianos - Ryan and Donny doing what they do best!! - Musicians Near Me - Temecula, California

Amazing! Ryan was one of our very first vendors and we were very lucky to have him at our wedding. He was responsive and accommodating throughout the whole planning process. He understands how stressful wedding planning can be and makes everything on his end easy and simple. Our guests LOVED the dueling pianos. Thank you Ryan and Steve! read more

Ryan and his team are amazing!  My husband and I found them during our entertainment search; we checked them out at 1 of their events, and were instantly impressed.  Ryan is an engaging MC, and the band gets the audience actively involved and out of their seats.  They were a HUGE hit at our wedding, we received so many compliments about our band. Ryan went above and beyond the call of duty for our wedding reception.  He's creative and always open to new ideas, and even spent time finding a Chinese MP3 song, w/o even needing my request for it!  He also brought a surprise add-on singer, Mr. Haas.  SO many guests were impressed by his voice, and we loved his rendition of our 1st dance song.  So beautiful!  Doug and the drummer were fun too!  And the classical pianist Christina had such soothing, beautiful music during meal service. I love Ryan's professionalism and work ethic.  He responds promptly to my emails, calls, and text messages. He is flexible, and shows up early to the site to prepare.  He even met w/ us in person and via phone conference to review the reception timeline, minute by minute!  Ryan and his team's passion in their work truly shows in the enthusiasm and never ending attitude to work.   I would happily refer The Dueling Pianos for any event, and any other brides looking for a fun, professional, and flexible entertainer a reasonable price!  In fact, I have already referred Ryan to 2 of my guests for their own respective events.  Thank you to the Dueling Pianos for working so hard, and being the talk of our wedding reception!  You guys are truly talented! read more

Hiring The Killer Dueling Pianos was one of the best decisions we made when planning our Gala! Our After-Party had gotten stale over the years and we needed a change. I found these guys, reached out to their references and heard nothing but raving reviews. So we decided to go for it. I am so glad we did! For the first time in years, we had hundreds of people stay for the After Party, and they stayed until the very end! They had everyone dancing & singing and thoroughly enjoying themselves. Everyone was raving about the performance and it is still being talked about! They were also very easy to work with leading up to the performance & always great at communicating with me when I reached out. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting an extremely entertaining, crowd-interactive, fun night of entertainment! read more

We loved everything about having the Killer Dueling Pianos at our wedding!!! It's such a different experience from a DJ or a band. All of our guests loved it and couldn't stop telling us how great it was. We were blown away. It really made our entire event unforgettable! read more

From beginning to end, these guys absolutely rocked the stage for our wedding. Absolute entertainers and very professional. I would recommend The Killer Dueling Pianos to anyone! read more

We hired them to perform as DJs at our wedding and they did not disappoint! We wanted something unique and live instead of the normal DJ set, so when the Killer Dueling pianos were on a recommendation list for our wedding venue at the Brownstone Gardens, we immediately gave them a call, or email as it were. Ryan was always responsive, and we kept in constant contact with him for almost an entire year. I think the hardest part about hiring them was choosing which songs to play during our reception. They took care of everything and were a big hit with our friends and family. They were able to mic me up for the wedding ceremony when we said our vows, they came in super early to setup both pianos and lighting, and coordinated with our day-of wedding planner to make sure their setup was safe and in a logical place to get the party going. They were always professional and courteous throughout the night. I'm sure there were a lot of logistics there that they figured out that we had no idea about, but just having to not worry about them on what is an already stressful day for the bride and groom was worth their weight in gold tenfold. We are so lucky to have them at our wedding. Our wedding was a little different because we had a bride-groom trivia game while guests were queueing up at the buffet lines, a quick football skit during the bridal party introductions, a traditional filipino dance group performance, and an anniversary dance in our program. All of these were handled with aplomb by the Killer Dueling Pianos without skipping a beat. And I haven't even talked about their musical talents yet. One thing about weddings that my wifey and I noticed that we wanted to avoid was the lull or general uninterest that some guests have when it comes to the dance floor. Don't worry about that with these guys. They will get you to dance, or cheer, or holler, or at the least tap your feet when seated. There's props and other instruments involved, it's a whole production. In between the awesome requested music by our guests (lol the Banana Boat Song Day-O by Harry Belafonte who requested that?), there was the addictive 'Sweet Caroline' to cheer out to, the wedding anthems of Bruno Mars, and the epic ballad of Journey's 'Don't Stop Believin'; complete with Ryan playing solo on guitar! Near the end of the night, we'll never forget singing 'Stand By Me' at the top or our lungs. Overall, there were all these small really fun things they did right over and over again, that cumulated into one of the best night of our lives. This might be very lengthy for a review, but to sum up what The Killer Dueling Pianos did for us in a paragraph would be an incredible disservice. And if you're still having doubts from the point of view of one guy, ask the other 200 guests that were there. I'm sure they'll agree with me. They crushed it. Did I mention they drove up to SF Bay Area from LA for the wedding? I mean come on! read more

Reading the 4 four reviews before mine was like "they wrote exactly the same thing I was thinking"! I cannot express enough the energy Ryan and Donny brought to our wedding! EVERYONE was dancing and my daughter had a huge bruise on her hip from banging the tambourine...she was having so much fun! Ryan emcee'd the entire evening for us and didn't skip a beat. Before the wedding we reviewed (briefly) what I wanted him to say and do and he just "got it"! He delivered without a hitch and kept everything flowing perfectly! Good luck playing at Pala Guys!!! I hope that's a good gig for you! I can't wait to sing along with you again soon! read more

I hired Ryan for our Holiday Party last year (Dec 2014), and they were a HIT! Bottom line is that we've done everything.... DJ's, and bands, you name it, and found that it took A LOT of alcohol (which isn't always a good thing) for anyone to get up and dance at a COMPANY function. I wanted to have and event that was "crowd engaging" so I started researching other forms of entertainment and found him. We had our function at an Auto Museum (I work for Toyota Racing Development - NASCAR, and Racing is our main focus), and the way I organized the room was not a formal setting. It was a cocktail and heavy hors-d'oeuvres style party (buffet style and tray passed) we had some sitting tables, and some cocktail "high boy" tables and I centered them in the middle of the room on a stage. Worked out perfect. Those who were standing sang along and those sitting down, sang along. I love the fact that he played music that catered to every guest. Some oldies, some new, some soul, some rap, rock you name it - he's got it covered. I also had some songs and a script he used to "roast" management which was fun for the employees and guests. Some of us got up on stage with him and sang while he and his partner played. They brought great energy to our party, they have great voices, and fun props for the guests too. Oddly enough, mid-way through the party after our awards were given out, everyone was up dancing and singing Bottom line, you can't go wrong booking them. The only thing to keep in mind is these guys come to have fun, it's not for a "quiet" or mello evening...unless you specify that's what you want, I'm sure he'd make it happen for ya. They are extremely professional! read more

Ryan and Doug are AMAZING! They are truly talented musicians and great people to work with. They played at our wedding and I seriously can't imagine a better option for music. Ryan was always available to go over details or answer any questions i had, they are VERY flexible when it comes to music preferences or requests. During the wedding they made us laugh, cry, had interactive games that got the guests up and dancing, running around with balloons and cowboy hats etc. So much fun! Would definitely recommend hiring them for private events!! read more

I can't even begin to describe what Ryan and Donnie did at our wedding. We come from music and theatre performance backgrounds, and we knew we needed something special on our big day. Ryan and Donnie also provided sound for our ceremony, DJ'd the entire evening, entertained everyone every second of the night, and brought a wonderful party. They are by far the most entertaining and talented wedding entertainment I have ever experienced. They have amazing talent with not only music, but with reading the energy of the room and making to sure to always move the party forward. I didn't leave the dance floor all night! They absolutely MADE our wedding extra special and so much fun for every single person there. They even found fun and creative ways to incorporate our individual talents into the show and made sure everything was so personalized, which was such a blast. I can't recommend them enough. If you are looking for top-notch entertainment, look no further. They were one of the first three vendors we booked (them along with photo and video), before the venue, before the dress, before EVERYTHING because we knew we needed them! Let these guys do your wedding or event and you are sure to have the night of your lives! read more

ryan and his partner were such a hit at my wedding on 10/02/16. ryan is one of the sweetest vendors, did everything to make it to my wedding on time (he had a hectic schedule and I contacted him last minute), and all my guests raved about how fun the dueling pianos were! Thank you ryan and his partner for making our wedding a truly memorable event! read more

We hired The Killer Dueling Pianos for our wedding in October 2016 and they are AMAZING! My husband and I wanted something a little different than the typical DJ, and after talking with Ryan on the phone and meeting him in person, we had no doubt he would bring exactly the type of style and fun we were looking for. He is very responsive in both emails and phone calls, professional in his work, and they even agreed to learn to play/sign our first dance song so it could be played live for us. We received nothing but compliments from our guests, saying how much fun they had with the dueling pianos, and the dance floor was packed all night! If you're looking for a memorable, fun, and overall amazing aspect to your wedding day, hire The Killer Dueling Pianos!! You will not be disappointed! read more

ryan and donny absolutely killed it at our wedding and all our guests had SO much fun! people couldn't stop talking about them all night and all throughout the next day. all my vendors were amazing, but if i'm brutally honest, ryan really elevated my wedding to another level. he was also really sweet and easy to work with, and i feel really lucky that i was able to have him at my wedding. i can't recommend him enough and i wish i could have another event just to have him perform again. honestly, he's so talented that i actually think it's ludicrous that he isn't booked out a year in advance. read more
