Everyone had a blast!

John and his team were fantastic and the life of the party. Everyone had a blast and it was clear that John and co did as well. We got so many comments from people that they loved the dueling pianos and how unique an experience it was for a wedding. We would absolutely recommend John to anyone else looking to do dueling pianos at their event.

We loved working with John & Andrew at our wedding! Not only were they friendly and down-to-earth musicians but they were extremely flexible and organized with our wedding timeline and songs. I met with John & Andrew once to go through the songs, contract, and wedding schedule. They immediately put themselves to work and managed everything perfectly from there. They dedicated the past nine months rehearsing our important songs for the wedding. In terms of pricing, we definitely got a lot out from the service, it was definitely a catch- they played for our cocktail and reception. We even got a bonus: they add an addition to their group a DJ named Ian with a sound system and full equipment. We gave them a DJ list and they covered every song. They even add in a few songs that rocked our wedding! Our families and guests had so much fun, they didn't want the night to end. We danced the night away!!! I would definitely book with them as early as possible, your wedding will be a blast!

The Architects Music Group provided the music during cocktail hour. We were lucky to be able to book them so late after an unfortunate accident with the original band. We had John's card from a previous engagement that my wife (fiance @ the time) and I had attended earlier that year. Remembering how much we enjoyed the event due to the music and energy the band brought, we called him in a panic hoping they were still available.

Lucky for us, we were able to book them. John made it so easy and was very accomodating in working with our schedule commitments and music selections. Their ability to move between so many musical genres to play such a wide range of requests always kept a smile on our face as well as our guests.

We couldn't have asked for a more fair price and such great memories!!!

Thanks Architect Music Group!!! All The Best, Kathy & Glenn
