Wow! What an incredible experience it was to have the Dueling Hobbits provide the entertainment for our wedding. During and after the reception I had a number of guests tell me it was the most fun wedding they'd ever been to, and three months later still have people mentioning how cool the dueling pianos were. One uncle who came from the east coast couldn't stop talking about how awesome the Hobbits were for the rest of the weekend, and he wasn't the only one singing their praises! Shannon and his crew did an absolutely outstanding job keeping the dance floor lively, responding to requests, working with the venue, and coordinating with my wife and I leading up to and throughout the event. Shannon was able to set up a keyboard to play our processional and recessional music, he had lounge/easy piano music playing during dinner, and the three of them really turned it on when the reception started. They were easy to communicate with, flexible, and even willing to learn new songs just for us. The Hobbits went out of their way to really make things special - they compiled a Taylor Swift Medley for my wife and her bridesmaids, learned a couple of songs for me to sing for my new bride, and were awesome about including guests that wanted to participate - from a sweet cowbell solo to letting someone take over "Rapper's Delight" to the surprise and delight of the crowd. Overall we could not recommend the Dueling Hobbits enough!

My wife and I visited Portland 2 years ago and went to see the Dueling Hobbits and it was the highlight of the trip. Extremely personable, great interaction with the crowd, and of course great music. Loved the experience.
