Dry Creek Estate Weddings
I live in small town in a rural area. Ahhh... if only we had a winery. I'm in love with that ambiance. And apparently so are brides and grooms. Let me tell you about Dry Creek Estate weddings. Several acres away are some residential homes that have the privilege...
A Cedar Ridge Winery Wedding
Last weekend, Jim and I made the trek out to Swisher, Iowa for another Felix and Fingers wedding at the Cedar Ridge Winery (www.crwine.com)! Who knew this place existed... and in Iowa nonetheless (or even the Midwest!!) After hours of driving through cornfield after...
Par-a-Dice Hotel Entertainment
Having played at the Par-a-Dice Casino on numerous occasions, I have become very familiar with the hotel. Although I only live an hour away, our hotel rooms have always been provided by the casino, and it's hard to turn down a room as nice as theirs. Not only are...
Greenhouse Loft Wedding Ceremony & Reception
When it comes to weddings, Felix and Fingers are most frequently booked to cover the entertainment from start to finish (ceremony through reception), but many people don't realize that we also run a multifaceted booking agency as well! Today's blog takes us to the...
Potter’s Place, Naperville hosts Dueling Pianos
Felix and Fingers Dueling Pianos had their first visit to Potter's Place (Naperville, Il) last week when a corporate client decided to host an event at this venue. Admittedly, I was surprised that a high end corporate event would want to party at a Mexican...
Evergreen FS Throws Crazy Dueling Piano Party
Playing for Evergreen FS was undoubtedly one of the more memorable corporate events that I've played for. It started like so many others, the President gave us a warning that the crowd may not be all that enthusiastic. No problem. We're used to that. After all,...
Dueling Pianos Bride’s Review
Okay, you're probably thinking, “Of course the Event Coordinator for F&F will give a glowing review for F&F playing her wedding!”, and I sure as heck am! What you'll read here in this (hopefully!) insightful review, is why, without a shadow of a doubt, F&F...
Bloomington Center Of Performing Arts Wedding
This was a show that introduced me to some new and familiar faces. While one of our pianists was on a hiatus due to a leg injury, I performed at the wedding with Robert, who had 'stepped' in for Michael. Although it wasn't the original plan, we have a very tight group...
Baker House: Lake Geneva Weddings
Felix and Fingers had an opportunity to perform at the beautiful Baker House in Lake Geneva Wisconsin for a wonderfully intimate wedding. When most of our weekends consist of 200+ guest weddings, it's a nice change of pace to play a wedding in a historic mansion for...
Maggiano’s Little Italy Hosts Dueling Piano Wedding
This past weekend, I headed to Maggiano's Little Italy with Michael Sherman to perform at a wedding. It was my first visit to Maggiano's. With so many attractions in Chicago (especially around N. Clark St.,) restaurant awnings can easily blend together. This is a...
How will Felix and Fingers get people dancing at my wedding?
A question I get a lot is, "How will you get people dancing at my wedding?" Some people imagine dueling pianos as a fun, sing-along show where people sit around and drink. That CAN be a dueling pianos show, but that isn't the kind of show we bring to your wedding....
Onion Pub Wedding! Again!
So we did another wedding last weekend. AGAIN. Sheesh, it must be wedding season or something! Actually, in some ways, weddings are my personal favorite as far as events that we play. What's not to love? There's usually cake, great food, and the musicians are...
