About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

A Dueling Piano show is an all-request, rock-and-roll sing-along that blends music, comedy, and improv into a totally interactive experience for any type of event, except maybe a bris or a funeral. (Though we're open to anything.) We bring our show right to your door, complete with lighting, sound and two custom-built black pianos with detachable legs that fit through any standard doorway. All we need is a small area to power up and start playing. No two shows are ever the same because the crowd decides the set list. Write down your song on a request slip, put it on the piano, and we'll play it. Whether you're celebrating a wedding, birthday, holiday party, office event, company retreat, retirement, or anniversary, we tailor the show to your particular needs and always hand-pick our players to ensure a perfect musical match for the occasion. Got questions? We love questions. Contact us!

Review by Amber L.

WeddingReviewed on April 30, 2018From Island Park, NY

From the moment I booked The Flying Ivories I had such an amazing feeling about them! James was so great in every way possible! He was very reliable, responded back to my emails and requests promptly, and was such a pleasure to work with! My husband And I absolutely love dueling pianos and thought it would be something so different and unique for our cocktail hour! Needless to say we were not disappointed!! James had kept in touch with our venue for setup and breakdown I didn't have to worry about a thing! They showed up on time and put on a amazing show!! If you're looking for an interactive, fun experience, I'd highly recommend The Flying Ivories for any event!!

The Flying Ivories | New York:

Hi Amber, Thank you so much for having us.. We had a blast! Looking forward to catching up with you both when you're next in NYC. Congrats again to you and Raymond. Best wishes, James.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on May 21, 2018From Chesterfield, NJ

We hired Flying Ivories last minute to add a little something extra to our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Needless to say they exceeded our expectation! James responded to me immediately, was so kind and was so helpful and Ryan who performed at our wedding was willing to accommodate any special request and did an amazing job putting the personalized touches on our ceremony music! They were a welcoming force as our guests arrived, made our ceremony super special, and got our party started during cocktail hour! The guests raved about how great Ryan did and how much fun they had getting to request songs for him to play! We highly recommend them, they are AMAZING!

The Flying Ivories | New York:

Hi Krista, Thank you so much for having us as part of your big day! Wishing you and Kevin all the best for a long and happy marriage. Kind regards, James.

Corporate FunctionReviewed on January 18, 2018From Red Bank, NJ

James and Nina were amazing!!!!! They made our event so much fun and the logistics seamless. They accommodated all of our ridiculous requests and were very pleasant to work with. Talented, funny, and entertaining. I hope to work with them again at another event!

The Flying Ivories | New York:

Hi Liz, Thanks so much for having us - we had a blast! Looking forward to working together again soon. Kind regards, James.
