Here are some things to consider when hiring a traveling Dueling Pianos Show.

Always get a contract!

Are they licensed and insured? Any reputable company will be licensed to do business and carry at least $5,000,000.00 in liability insurance in case of any misfortune.

I would be concerned about hiring a lounge player with little or no experience in Dueling Pianos. You will get two guys on pianos but with out the experience they do not know how to engage an audience. It is not a real Dueling Piano Show.

I would also be concerned when hiring an act from a nightclub. Most commonly they send their less experienced “B list” players who have a limited repertoire and don’t know how to shift gears from nightclub mode to private party mode. Which means you might get two kids on their Casio’s, who only know a few pop tunes, getting drunk on the job, telling dirty jokes and offending your guests.

There are some companies that act as, “temp agencies” that will send out any performer that is available just to make a commission.

There are other company’s that can produce good shows. Things to watch for when hiring an act form far away are things like airplane/travel delays, (Make sure they arrive a day early!!) otherwise they might not show up on time or at all. Also when they do they might just bring keyboards on stands that don’t look so great and rent some discount PA system from a local DJ, offering poor sound quality and a less than a spectacular presentation.

Also watch for hidden costs. For example some dueling piano companies might lure you in with a low quote of $2,000 then add on travel costs of $1,000, rent a car $150, Gas $75, hotel rooms $300, equipment shipping $600, PA rental $500 lighting rental $250. With our nationwide, turnkey operation our added travel expenses never exceed $500.

I would be leery of a company that offers anything less than a three-hour performance. They either don’t have enough material to cover an entire evening or are trying to milk you into overtime charges. We have a 3 hour minimum because our most common comment is, “ I wish they could have played longer! Encore! Encore!”

When hiring act’s from Vegas. They do produce quality shows but tend to be way over priced just so you can say they are from Vegas.

With 2 Grand Entertainment we not only pride ourselves on performance but also presentation. We have the most experienced staff in the business. Our elite staff of hand-selected performers have at least 7 to 20 years experience in the Dueling Pianos industry, performing thousands of successful engagements. We are a turnkey operation supplying all the necessary equipment to produce a Dueling Piano Show. Our state of the art presentation includes: 2 Baby Grand Pianos, (not a couple of make shift keyboard stands like other companies provide), our own PA system, Stage Lighting and of course 2 world class entertainers. No guess work on the quality of the performers and who's supplying the equipment.

**We are more than happy to keep our prices competitive and we will match or beat any reputable company’s reasonable quote.

The entertainment value of a Dueling Piano Show is the obvious choice when compared to bands or DJ's. With a band the audience dances or just sits there watching.

Great Pianos
2 Grand Entertainments Great Piano Show is the pinnacle of piano entertainment. Its like Dueling Pianos on steroids!

Set the stage with 2 Grand Pianos, two outrageously talented piano entertainers then add the options of a drummer, percussionist, bass, guitar, live DJ, saxophone, backup singers, an exciting light show, big screens flanking either side of the stage, fog machines, confetti cannons. The sky is the limit!!

This all request extravaganza is over the top. With all the elements of our Famous Dueling Piano Show and a full-blown stage production nothing compares to Great Pianos.

Great Pianos was developed in Europe where the humor and intimacy of our American style dueling pianos did not translate and turned it into an all request dance show. 2 Grand Entertainment is the first company in the world to combine our beloved Dueling Pianos sing-a-long format with the European dance version.

This show begins with a traditional Dueling Piano Show steadily building to a crazy euro dance party climax.

Still want more? If you can imagine it we can do it!

2 Grand Entertainment supplies all the equipment needed to put on a show. You supply the venue and Great Pianos will show your audience the time of their lives.

The same format as our Famous Dueling Piano Show slimed down for events, which don't have the space or budget for a full-blown Dueling Piano Show.

Request your favorite songs - American Pie, Piano Man, Great Balls of Fire, Brown Eyed Girl, to name just a few of the thousands of songs our piano entertainers perform.

We have a song for any occasion.

You can also expand Piano Blast by adding a drummer, guitar or saxophone adding the extra element of an all request dance band.

DJ's just push a button on their i-pod. Piano Blast has it all, live entertainment, singing, dancing, comedy, requests and the whole audience participating all night long.
