Wedding Reception•Reviewed on May 26, 2015•From New Haven, CT
Shake Rattle And ROLL Pianos blew the top off the wedding! We booked them 6 months in advance to the wedding and this was the only vendor we did not worry about. Mark's professionalism and great personality made the planning simple. When we informed him of our first dance he gave a suggestion to slow it down and it worked better than expected. Not only were we happy clients, the guests could not stop raving how good they were. One of our guests is even booked them at their wedding after. The song genre ranged from of course Billy Joel to "Baby got back". Don't question this DUELING PIANO COMBO, Book them with CONFIDENCE for any venue you will not be disappointed.

Complete professionalism from beginning to end. From the minute I first contacted Shake , Rattle and Roll, I received an immediate response and quick answers to all of my questions.
My piano player was Brian Nash. He was incredible. We had a holiday party so he played jazz and Xmas music in the beginning and then started taking requests and did a fantastic sing-a-long. He was so talented and great with the guests. We will be hiring him for next year's party for sure!

This is the second time in the last three months that we've had Mark and ShakeRattle&Roll Dueling pianos to Shenandoah for a fundraiser. It was once again a huge success. I can't say enough good things about the guys. Everyone in attendance had a great time. I look forward to bringing them back again.

We wanted something a little different for our wedding reception and we've loved going to see shake rattle and roll in the city. We booked them and then started to wonder if it would work at a wedding. It worked out better than we ever imagined! They worked with the DJ to give our guests a night they won't forget. They had everyone and I mean everyone out on the dance floor. People have been raving about them for days now! Thank you for making our wedding so special!

We had a great backyard party because of Shake Rattle& Roll Pianos. Our guests absolutely loved the concept and couldn't stop raving how much fun and how different our party was. I would have Shake Rattle & Roll back in a second!

Mark and Paul were great! Most of the people at our event had never seen dueling pianos before. By the end of the night they were coming up to me and asking me to bring them back. Everyone loved it. We will definitely have them back.

Every time we work with Shake Rattle & Roll, our guests can't stop talking about how awesome they are! Taking requests, interacting with guests, playing a 4 hour nonstop show, and all the while remaining professional, funny, and so talented!
We don't know how they know all those songs, but as long as they do, they'll continue to be our first, and only choice for party entertainment.
Thanks again!

My husband and I LOVE seeing dueling pianos perform. We booked to see a couple of Dueling Pianos and these guys were by far the best!!!
We had never seen/heard of anyone doing this for a wedding but we knew from seeing them it would be amazing. We were honestly debating over doing the pianos or a band, just because we had never seen it at a wedding. We went with the pianos and we are so glad we did. We wanted to give our guests a performance and for it to be memorable.
Mark, the lead piano guy, is amazing to work with. Just like a DJ/Band he announces your wedding party, first dance, toasts, etc. so in that respect it is just like having a DJ/Band.

Engagement Party•Reviewed on February 17, 2014•From Brooklyn, NY
We just had Mark play at our engagement party yesterday. Aside from a slight scheduling mix up early on, Mark was fantastic. He was professional and an extremely talented piano player and singer. We booked him at a our favorite Piano bar, which didn't have the best sound system or piano, I later realized, and he still sounded great. He even helped me sing a song to my fiance. He played well over two hours because he felt bad about the mix up and was the highlight of our party. I'm not one to usually leave reviews on sites such as this but, I couldn't thank Mark enough and I promised him I would. No B/S Mark is the goods. We would 100% book him again.

Mark and his ShakeRattle&Roll partner (unfortunately his name is escaping me at the moment) were a great hit at our annual holiday party this year. They were both very professional and amazingly talented. They have a great ability to provide top notch entertainment and make ppl laugh at the same time. They took requests and were able to accommodate them very well, we made a great choice by having them at our party this year to change things up a bit. Thank you guys!

Jared Wood was the performer for our event. He did a fantastic job accommodating the party's ebb and flow during the evening - knowing when to keep it lighter as guests were arriving and settling in, and when to really ham it up for the group. Jared was a class act, from his arrival, set up and departure to his accommodations of many varied requests. A true professional through and through. I hope to have another event to invite him to play at in future! Highly recommend Jared.

Mark sent Zach Goodman who was awesome and made the entire party a success ! He was friendly and did a great job...very talented. He also let a guest play his keyboard and sing. I have already shared Zach's info with others who may need an entertainer. So glad I decided to use this site and very pleased.

Mark and his crew did a phenomenal job! They kept our bar partying until well after midnight, and played a range of songs I've never seen any band attempt. They were funny, talented and entertaining.
Their professionalism made the entire evening so seamless, and when our PA system didn't work, Mark was at the ready with his own, standby equipment that saved the day.
We have already re-booked Shake Rattle & Roll for future shows, and look forward to many more successful Dueling Pianos shows with them!

Very professional, extremely talented piano player and singer.
Mark was in tune with the crowd. His performance was a highlight of our party.
It was very easy to contact Mark before the event to figure out the logistics of event, and discuss the list of songs.
I would definitely keep Mark in mind for future events.

Mark Weiser was an excellent performer for a 50s Sock Hop event I held outside of a Restaurant in a Retirement Community. He was lively, and kept the event exciting the entire evening. I will definitely be working with him again in the future.

The entire experience was great. Mark was easy to communicate with before the party and the performance during the party was excellent. He was able to play anything that was requested -- even some out of the ordinary requests. Many guests commented on how good he was and asked how we found him. He really livened up an afternoon luncheon. We were completely satisfied and I would definitely recommend.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 21, 2013•From New York City, NY
We cannot say enough good things about James Barr, the piano player who handled our event, a special birthday party for our sister. First, James visited the venue two days ahead of schedule to confirm his set-up instructions. He arrived to the party ahead of schedule, set up and checked in with us to see if we had any last-minute instructions. His music selection was excellent throughout the evening, and he accommodated many special requests, including accompanying us while we sang solos. He was charming, funny, gracious, and my family received a million compliments on the entertainment. We'd recommend him without hesitation. The birthday girl was beaming. Thank you!
