Spanky Entertainment Dueling Pianos helped raiser over $25,000 for the Kirkwood Orchestra Program! It was a blast! Spanky and Bill were so fun and entertaining - playing MANY different styles of music. The crowd loved it! We got so much positive feedback and are ready to book again for next year! Such an awesome night - thanks to these guys!
Dueling Pianos
I had a dream of having dueling pianos at my wedding for years. I assumed we couldn’t afford it due to our strict budget. We hired a DJ and as the wedding became closer, I became more and more unsure of our DJ. We wanted something with more entertainment so those who weren’t comfortable dancing during the pandemic would still have fun!
I am so glad we switched. The EMCEE service and pianos were phenomenal. We had SO much fun and so many guests mentioned how cool it was. I would recommend Spanky’s to anyone and everyone for all types of events, especially weddings!!

OMGoodness, we had SO much fun! Rob & Bill were FANTASTIC! They had us rockin' and laughin' in our seats all evening. Not only was the show great, but so was our experience booking & coordinating the event. Spanky Entertainment was was a pleasure to work with. I HIGHLY recommend them and plan to have them back out for another event later in the year.

We used Spanky Entertainment for our school PTA Fundraiser. Describing the night as “fun” is a total understatement. From start to finish, it was a pleasure to work with the team. Behind the scenes communication, calls, emails, Facebook posts, everything was top notch and made planning so easy and stress free. It was so nice to enjoy the night we worked so hard planning. Everyone had rave reviews and can’t wait until next years event. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, Lindsey! We had a blast raising money for PALS and would love to do it again soon! 🥳🎹
Wow – what a wedding reception for my daughter & new son-in-law! Spanky’s Dueling Pianos provided great entertainment, enthusiasm and creativity. The crowd LOVED them – so many compliments, so much fun. Many guests said it was the best wedding reception they have ever attended (and I would have to agree) – and Spanky’s was a very big reason why they felt that way! We didn’t want the night to end, we were having so much fun. Working with Spanky’s was very easy – they were very responsive to questions and provide a great questionnaire to fill out with all of the details, including special requests (or songs do NOT want played – and they absolutely will comply with those requests too). I have a feeling we’ll be reminiscing about the wedding for many years to come, and how fun and fabulous the dueling piano guys were! I wholeheartedly recommend them!

From beginning to end, Spanky Entertainment provided top notch customer service. From creating all marketing, assisting with getting the word out, and suggestions on how to make the night the biggest success, we could not be happier. Our guests (and us!) had a great time and we can't wait to book next year!

I can't say enough about Spanky and Mike. They were on time, easy to work with, got our crowd involved, were fun, polite, and all around a great time. We would definitely use them again. This office party presented the most compliments out of any we've had in the past and many were based around the entertainment. Thank you for a beautiful evening!

The musicians from Spanky Entertainment’s dueling pianos were awesome! Great players and singers and had some great banter with our group. They were able to play everything from Lil Jon to Queen to Mariah Carey. Thanks for a great party!

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, Nikki! We had a blast at your party and we’re glad you did, too!!!
Dueling Pianos were fabulous! Spanky was great to work with through the entire process. The night was so much fun and very high energy! We had a wide age range; 5 years- 97 years, and everyone had a wonderful time. Family and friends are still talking about how much fun they had! Spanky and Bill played every song requested and that was one of the reasons it was so much fun. Everyone got to hear songs they loved!
I will definitely use Dueling Pianos again! I highly recommend Spanky and Dueling Pianos to anyone planning a party of any kind.

We got married this past weekend, and we had a GREAT time!! Both of the players were phenomenal, and countless guests commented on what a fun and interactive show they put on. It was constant energy and so many smiles. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience!! Thanks again for everything!

Spanky Entertainment played for our Area Chamber of Commerce Fundraiser. They were terrific! So many positive comments from our guests with some asking if we were coming back. We were able to raise more money then we expected, making the event even better. I would refer Spanky Entertainment to anyone wanting a "FUN EVENING" while raising money
Dueling Pianos
We had dueling pianos for a fundraiser related to our professional organization. The group was easy to communicate with and organize. The pianists were fantastic. Very fun and energetic. Would definitely recommend Spanky to anyone.

Spanky's promises to deliver and entertain... and they absolutely do! Great choice for your entertainment!

I recently used Spanky Entertainment to host dueling pianos as my small wine bar. I was a little hesitant at first since I was booking online and have never worked with them, but the entire experience was great... Especially the open communication (as I had several questions being a first time user). The players were awesome and really got my patrons into it. The entire evening was a huge success! I will definitely book with Spanky Entertainment again!

What to Expect
When you come to see Spanky Entertainment's dueling pianos show, expect to have the best time! We are often hired for corporate events and the attendees leave our performance talking about how much fun this year's event was! Since our performers are taking requests directly from the audience, expect to hear music from all genres...from country to rap to rock to showtunes! It ALL comes from YOU the audience!
About
Spanky, owner/operator of Spanky Entertainment, has been performing dueling pianos for 24 years. Having performed in every role of the industry (house performer, 11 year freelancer, club owner), he is very skilled in adapting to each audience and taking them where they want to go with the show. From Rhapsody in Blue to Bohemian Rhapsody, Spanky and his performers play it all!
The performers show up an hour before the event begins for load-in and setup. We bring pianos, sound system, stage lighting, etc. everything we need except staging. Staging isn't required but is suggested as it helps enhance the performance.
We generally perform for 3 hours, always without breaks unless requested to do so by the client. We are negotiable to less or more performance time. During wedding receptions we provide music via our iPod during the times we're not performing (cocktail hour, dinner, etc.).
YES! People WILL dance to our dueling pianos show at your wedding. We perform whatever your guests request. If they want to hear dance music, we'll play it.
During your event we are able to emcee as much as you'd like (introductions of wedding party, helping with speeches). We provide a microphone for you to use for any announcements, speeches or presentations you may have for your corporate event.
Our entertainment is UNIQUE and makes your event one that people will talk about long after it ends!
Additional Booking Notes
If putting our show on a stage our set up requires a 20' wide by 8' deep stage.
