Our experience was top notch from start to finish. Mark was extremely responsive and Matthew Friedman was amazing. It was like having Billy Joel perform live in our living room. Everyone had a great time. Best 50th Birthday party ever. Thank you Mark and Matthew!

Thanks so much for having us! We look forward to doing it again soon!
I booked Shake Rattle & Roll Pianos for a corporate event and worked with Mark on all my event needs. The process leading up to the event was very smooth and like any event, we had various changes that Mark was always quick to reply to and able to accommodate. Our two performers, Matt and Ryan were absolutely fantastic. They arrived early to setup, did sound checks, and played all the right music. The first half of our event was lowkey and Matt and Ryan just knew to play soft music that fit the setting perfectly. By the second half of the event, they completely switched gears based on the audience's energy and played songs that had people singing along and dancing. They never lost their energy, and both sounded amazing! I have used other dueling piano companies before and rank Shake Rattle and Roll as #1. From communication to performance times and energy, they exceeded my expectations.

The guys played our company's 10th Anniversary party and everyone had a great time! The range of songs played, the banter with the audience - they did everything to engage the crowd and we had the place rocking! Thank you so very much for being such a wonderful addition to a special night. 10 out of 10 recommend.

Greg played piano for my husband’s 60th birthday party and he was awesome! There wasn’t a song requested that he didn’t know and he had a chill vibe that worked really well for a large loud crowd of people in our home. Would highly recommend!!!
Pianist
Professional, outstanding entertainment, and comments from our house guests that it was the best party they’d been to! Our dueling piano team was responsive to the crowd, got them involved and had a fantastic rapport with each other which served to liven things up in the quieter moments at the beginning of the party. I would recommend shake, rattle and roll for any and all events to guarantee fun will be had !

Thanks Sue! We loved being a part of Ladies' Night! We're looking forward to doing it again!
Eric is a wonderful entertainer, sung Glenn Miller and more, and was super nice.
We would have liked better communication before the event, suspect that was more the booking agent than Eric.
Would definitely hire him again.

We hired Shake Rattle & Roll for our wedding after party. Mark had been trying to nail us down, but we had some issues with the venue and finally, 2 weeks before the wedding, we were able to score a spot in the venue to make this happen. They were able to get me what I wanted in a short period of time. Both players came on time and prepared for a post wedding crowd. They were awesome. Allowed my guests to sing along on the mic and played whatever was requested. Everyone said this was a perfect post game for a wedding and they all raved about how much fun it was. Thanks to all involved. Stacey Kolmer-9/8/18

Thank you so much for having us perform at your party, Jill! We're so glad it was a success, and we look forward to entertaining you again soon!
I hired Mark to play at my sister's rehearsal dinner. The owner of the restaurant said that he has never seen so many people dancing at a rehearsal dinner, let alone the crowd that gathered on the streets of NYC to watch the fun!! Mark was worth every penny and I can't wait until we can use him at our next special event.

Marc got to event early and was all setup when the guests started to arrive. It was an office opening party and Marc was great. He catered to everyone's song requests. Trips down memory lane for many and a great time for all! Highly recommend. :)

I know there a quote above from me, but I had to write a review also. There was no option to pick for what part of my wedding Mark played for. He played at the after party for us. He did a dueling piano show. He was fantastic. I have guests asking where they can see him play and if he could play for them. Mark is extremely talented and I thought this after party just showcased his many talents. He made sure everything was set up and ready to go for the after party and he even had time to spend at my wedding with me. Although he was coming off of a VERY busy Saturday he was friendly and cheerful and full of life (as Mark usually is) for the after party. He made everyone feel so special by playing their song that they requested and he kept the crowd constantly laughing. The party started at 11pm and went until 2am and would have kept going if I hadn’t ended it! I would recommend him to anyone!! I really wish my wedding didn’t have to end, but it did and people are still talking about “Mark’s show” aka my after party.

I hired Mark to come by our apartment and play a medley of songs for my wifeon our anniversary. Given's Mark extensive repertoire of songs, the medely stretched across various genres of music which was perfect for the evening.
Mark is extremely professional in all areas. He was quick and timely with his communication. Responsive in providing recommendations. On the day of the event, Mark showed up early to make sure everything was set up and ready to go for the surprise.
Overall a fantastic experience. Would highly recommend his services. He's a true professional in every sense.
