    "This is what every wedding should have," proclaimed my mom to me multiple times over the course of the wedding reception. "This is awesome," "these guys are amazing," "this is way better than a DJ or band," stated others in my family and wedding group that night and in conversation still to this day 5 months later. Ryan and Donny are incredible musicians and performers. They delivered an act that catered to every background: young and old, local and from afar, those who prefer rock, those who prefer country, those who prefer pop, and those who prefer classics. They were interactive with the crowd, were able to build and sustain the energy on the dance floor, and were able to fulfill requests and fill in the playlist when requests didn't come in. Ryan was by far the best vendor we worked with. We first got in contact with Ryan in 2019 planning for a June 2020 wedding. As with many, the pandemic resulted in us ultimately delaying our wedding reception by three years. He stayed in touch throughout the whole period, did not seek an increase in the price even after the many years, and offered that our deposit could be returned in full if we ultimately did have to cancel the wedding. The price of the wedding package is incredible, even before you experience how amazing Ryan and each of his team are, and the full arrangement of what they provide. You essentially get the entire concert experience with the Killer Dueling Pianos: rockstar musicians, pianos and more (in our case Ryan on the guitar and Donny on the trumpet), lights and props. The team also provided the PA system, music, and microphone for the wedding reception rounding out the complete wedding package. Ryan and Donny also helped guide my wife and I as we were lost in figuring out the music and program. Ryan served as our MC during the wedding and reception, and assisted in guiding things to go just right thanks to his expertise in supporting weddings; fluidly adapting as we modified the program during the event, and offering his recommendation on what to do next. You shouldn't just take it from me, you are welcome to ask anyone invited to our wedding: hiring the Killer Dueling Pianos is how to make your wedding day positively memorable to everyone, if not solidifying it as one of the best days of your life.

    You can't go wrong with Still Listening Productions! Lee provided the perfect soundtrack for our…read moreNovember 2021 wedding at the La Jolla Woman's Club. He seamlessly switched from our ceremony to our cocktail hour to the reception itself. I seriously cannot recommend him enough, he listened to all of our requests and was so easy to work with. He sang live during the cocktail hour, and we kept having guests coming up to us asking for his website/information because they loved him so much! He also learned our first song (A Million Dreams), and created a version that was absolutely perfect for a first dance. I would absolutely recommend both Lee and Still Listening Productions for your event!

    Versatility and talent beyond compare…read more After reading all the glowing reviews of Michael Tiernan's musicianship my wife and I felt honored to be able to make a date with him to provide the music for a party at The Thursday Club in Point Loma. The party was partially a 50th anniversary but mostly a celebration of great friendships of many years. He did an incredible job of playing songs that were the perfect complement to the changing dynamics of the entire evening. Michael is a charming individual and when the mood was right he played songs that engaged the crowd, captured their attention and drew applause. He's a master at reading the room. Toward the end of the evening a contingent got up and started dancing between the tables. Michael was totally in his element. He can create all the high energy party vibe you could want. He has spontaneous looping techniques that make his renditions of songs as full bodied as a band. As part of the planning process we received a list of songs that are in his repertoire. You would not believe the length of the list and the variety of situations and moods he can bring to life. This next part is slightly humorous, but testifies to what a great guy Michael is. Since the majority of the crowd was going to be septuagenarians like ourselves, we were concerned that if the music was too "prominent" the guests might have difficulty hearing each other and conversing. It was with a little trepidation that we brought up this concern with Michael. You don't sign up an artist with all his gifts and then ask him to play quietly. His response was immediate and completely understanding. He totally got it. He assured us he could keep it as mellow as we wanted. And he did it perfectly with no cues from us, especially during the crucial cocktail-hour part of the event which was an important time for people to mingle and visit. He reads the room. If you are planning a special event you hope to bring all the elements together to make it a great experience for all the guests. It's like an art project. Music is an essential part of the experience. Look no further for an amazingly gifted musician who can work with you to craft the occasion to your desires to make it a meaningful and joyful celebration.

The music she played that evening was truly extraordinary, leaving a lasting impression on everyone present. After the event, we made sure to grab her business card because we knew we wanted her talent for our special day. For our wedding at the beautiful Mission Inn, Hotel and Spa, we were keen on avoiding a DJ; instead, we longed for a romantic ambiance created by a live musician, and Krissy was the perfect choice. Her professionalism and organization stood out immediately. She provided us with an array of music selections and was open to incorporating our personal preferences. We shared our list of favorite songs with her, and she seamlessly wove them into her repertoire, creating a list that felt uniquely ours. throughout the evening, her punctuality and dedication where evident as she gracefully played at our reception. It was heartwarming to see how approachable she was; several of our guests requested specific songs, and without hesitation, she accommodated them, fostering a warm and inviting atmosphere. Her ability to connect with everyone made our celebration feel even more special. Krissy played her violin continuously throughout the night, filling the air with beautiful melodies that enhanced the romantic setting. As a bride, I felt like I was in a dream, enveloped in the magical experience she created for us. Every note she played made us feel cherished, making our wedding unforgettable for both our guests and us. Thank you, Krissy, for your love of music.

It was so great to have MULTIPLE people come up to us and compliment how good he was and the playlist. The dance floor was full the whole night! He was so kind and very detailed asking how long we wanted certain songs and hyped the crowd up perfectly for grand entrances. There was a particular moment my (now) husband and I remember where he played a classic throwback from the early 2000s and all of our guest including us went wild because we're millennials and we grew up on that music. He read the crowds energy and mashed up 3 songs to keep it going, playing the most memorable parts to sing along to instead of having the whole 3 songs where the energy might die. It was AMAZING! Going into wedding planning I had a fear of DJs because I have been to many weddings where the dance floor was empty because of poor song choices, microphone feedback during speeches, etc but he smashed it out of the park. Everything went so smoothly and couldn't have been better! I even forgot my bouquet as I was about to go down the aisle and he was on top of it immediately and seamlessly looped the processional song without anyone noticing a thing. Absolutely made our wedding everything we hoped it would be. We couldn't recommend someone more.
