Our Story
Orlando Dueling Pianos has been performing a unique mix of entertainment for weddings, corporate events, private parties and night club events across the state of Florida since 2013. Our entertainers have performed all over the world, from New York to Los Angeles to Europe and beyond. We have a combined experience of over 50 years of dueling pianos, not to mention playing night clubs and private events for over 20 years.
Our company was born out of necessity. After being approached by several different guests to play their wedding, while working at Disney’s Boardwalk Resort, we decided to make it official. Thus Orlando Dueling Pianos was born!

The Next Level
Since 2009, we have learned how to bring our entertainment to the next level. Years of experience and perfecting our craft have taught us even more with a focus on our attention to detail as a result of working at Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Orlando and Norweigian Cruise Line. We know what excellence in music and performance means, and we are bringing that to you, in the form of our mobile dueling pianos show.

The Method
We focus on the client. We customize every performance to astound our clientele and their guests. Our secret is simple. We over-deliver. We create a fun, high energy atmosphere that inspires your guests to interact with us through three means:
- Your guests request the songs we play.
- Your guests are involved in every song by singing or clapping along.
- Your guests get to be featured and treated as VIP’s.
By showing your guests that they are in charge of the show, they are more willing to participate, challenge each other, and encourage each other to have fun. It’s a recipe that spreads like wild fire through out every performance.
1. The Live Dueling Pianos Show
Let the good times roll! This is where we step in as your featured entertainment. We get the party started, and grow our connection with your guests. Your guests will not only trust us, but they will love us. We provide an even mix of music, comedy and banter that not only entertains, but directs the flow of our show to keep your guests on their toes.
2. Our DJ Service
We provide music during ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner through our DJ service, which is optional with every booking. We complement each performance by providing the right music at the right time. If you want to continue the party, after the dueling piano show, we can DJ until your guests are all danced out!
3. All Request Show
You and your guests get to choose the music we play. We bring request slips and pens so your guests can request their favorite songs. We place the request slips and pens on the guest tables, around the stage and on the pianos. Your guests never run out of ideas, and their ideas never run out of room!
4. Master of Ceremonies and Party Leader
Our musicians will handle all MC responsibilities throughout the evening. We keep everyone on schedule. We will set the stage and get everyone’s attention for speeches, toasts, prayers, and dances. We take care of everything music and microphone related.
5. The Event Time
When you request a quote from us, your quote is for the entire day. We arrive at least 2 hours prior to your guests to set up and sound check. We also wait until your guests leave to break down our equipment. We never leave during an event. For most private parties and corporate events we will provide live music for 2 hours or longer. For weddings, we typically play 2-3 hours. How long we play may be a factor in pricing.
6. The Equipment
Everything we need for your event we provide. The only thing we need from you is space. A stage is preferred, however not necessary. We have played in the middle of a dining hall on the main floor. All that matters is that your guests can hear us and interact with us.
7. The Logistics
When it comes to preparing for your event, we pay very close attention to every detail. We will send you an itinerary form 30 days prior to your event. You simply fill it out online and send it back to us. We will go over the form together over the phone a week before your event. We make it as simple as possible for you and we handle everything. When you book with us we eliminate the stress of planning your entertainment.
