SONG SUGGESTIONS for WEDDING CEREMONIES AND RECEPTIONS

"You're live...and so are we!"

The simplest approach - and often the best - is to leave the song selections to us.  Our dueling pianos show is improvisational in nature, so we're very comfortable working "on the fly" to come up with the right song at the right time.  So, if you'd like to "leave the driving to us," you can be sure we'll play songs that will fit the mood and all the different key moments of your wedding.  And as those moments unfold, we're there to adapt the music to what's happening.  You're live, and so are we.  We don't perform with tapes, CDs or sequencers...only our twenty fingers (and sometimes our feet).

However, we understand that on this special day, you may want to choose certain songs to convey your own, very personal sentiments.  To give you some song titles to look over, we've compiled a list of our favorites for weddings and categorized them into most of the different elements that may occur in your ceremony and reception.  These are only suggestions.  Please feel free to break with tradition, go off the list, invent a new style, express your personality, write a song and have us accompany you while you sing it ... Anything you imagine, please don't hesitate to ask.  We're your musical support team.
