GUEST




The band was great. They have a playlist that spans generations. They energized the guests. At the end of the wedding we still had a full dance floor.
GUEST




We called Lorio Ross Sterling Entertainment and inquired about the availability of Newsmaker. An agent named Jason Scarcelli informed us that Newsmaker was not available on our wedding date and asked me if I had ever considered dueling pianos at our wedding. I?m glad he did. Our guests are still sending me emails telling me how much fun our wedding reception was. The DJ who played after dueling pianos was also outstanding. Thank you Lorio Ross!
GUEST




We had the band Higher Ground for our wedding. LOVED them! They played at a friends wedding a few years back and knew I wanted a band. Dance floor was always packed. Just stay on top of Lorio Ross to make sure you are getting what you are paid for and they are getting back to you on time. But they kept the party going and everyone loved them.
GUEST




My band, L'Usa, was amazing. Fun group, great performers, very professional. I had provided a "do not play" list with all of my materials, and they played several songs off of this list. (of note, it was a long list!) That is honestly my only complaint--and they did abide by our request for no line dances.
The rest of the experience was phenomenal.

Lorio Ross is a great compnay who represents only professional & talented musicians.
Rob Artinian was our DJ. He was fun and made sure everyone (head of the Detroit Golf Club, photographer, wedding party, etc) was coordinated. He asks what style of music you want to be played and what you do NOT want to be played which was important to me. He also takes requests which is great, but plays them with discretion. All and all everyone was on the dance floor as soon as he started until the end of the night!
The Cheers Duo were our musicians for the ceremony and cocktail hour. They are extremely talented and quick learners of any music you would like them to play. They are a Flute & Keyboard (but the flute becomes a sax during the cocktail hour). They are versatile and professional. They were able to learn 3 non-traditional songs within 2 weeks to play for our ceremony. It was perfect. Highly recommend them.

Although I played phone tag with the booking agency for a bit, it was worth the effort. The band was AMAZING!!! Everyone at the wedding commented on how great they were. The price was great, they were flexible and so much fun to have at our wedding. I would highly reccomend using the Jerry Ross Band!
GUEST




We booked the Lorio-Ross band HIGHER GROUND for our wedding and they were a HUGE hit! The dance floor was packed the whole night, and they played songs that all ages liked and could dance to. Unfortunately they weren't able to play my husband and my song, so we just chose a classic, but it was still special. Sonny, the band's leader, was amazing. He was so calming, went through every detail and basically said "We want this to be the most special, memorable day..." and it truly was. They were also a GREAT deal. I would recommend contacting the band directly, and you'll get a cheaper rate than going through Lorio Ross.
GUEST




Simone Vitale did a WONDERFUL job!! The music that they played everyone loved, and danced to all night long. Everyone kept telling us they sound just like the artist that they are singing! Our reception was on the lake and people told us that we had about 15 boats anchored out listening to the wonderful music. No one wanted the music to stop, they wanted them to keep playing all night long. If you want people to dance at your wedding, then you need to have Simone Vitale!
GUEST




Lorio Ross had some really great bands! We used The Jerry Ross Band. We put in writing that if the lead singer were to leave for any reason we would not want that band. Less than a week before the wedding we found out he wouldn't be there. Lorio Ross should have contacted us earlier, but they did find a substitute and were willing to do whatever it took to make things better.
GUEST




We found out 3 days before that their lead singer (and reason we chose the band) wouldn't be able to make it.... however, they plugged in someone else who was just as good if not better! The guests loved the band and raved about them for weeks.
GUEST




First off, I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the band we selected. They are Persuasion. Their music had everyone on the dance floor and they played tunes for all ages. They also followed direction well and made me feel very comfortable prior to the wedding with what was going to happen and what they needed from me.
However, the representative at Lorio Ross was not very helpful at all. She was not very responsive to e-mails and phone calls and did not connect me with the band until 1 month before the wedding. I was told when I booked them that I should be in touch with them at LEAST 3 months before the wedding to present song choices and requests to them. When I sent her all my info 3 months prior, I never heard any feedback until finally 1 month prior to the wedding date.
Luckily, the band portrayed confidence and was very comforting when I finally did talk to them a month before the wedding. So it all worked out. They did all my requests as promised.
I would recommend the bride/groom just stay on top of the representative at Lorio Ross

What a great group of people. They were excellent!!! Would suggest to all!! Thank you
About Dueling Pianos International provided by Lorio Ross Sterling Entertainment
Many of today’s Dueling Piano companies are operated by musicians representing themselves without agency support, existing full time work, or even a reasonable amount of professional experience. Therefore, these companies, with only three or four entertainers (and in some cases, only a single entertainer), will do whatever necessary to make you believe that their show is exactly what you are looking for.
In comparison, Dueling Pianos International has a roster of over 150 professional Dueling Piano players who work full time in traditional sing-along Dueling Piano establishments. You wouldn’t buy diamonds from a street corner vendor. Nor should you invest your hard earned entertainment dollars with anyone less than Dueling Pianos International!
Dueling Pianos International was established in response to phone calls from the dissatisfied customers of other Dueling Piano companies.

Not with Dueling Pianos International!

Talk with your banquet facility about the type of entertainment you are having and ask for advice about how to arrange seating and dance area(s) for maximum guest participation. Although guests often like to dance at a Dueling Pianos performance, Dueling Pianos is more of a sing along and comedy show as opposed to a Dance Party. Most couples who feature Dueling Pianos at Wedding Receptions opt to have the dance floor placed to the side of the stage, allowing all guests to watch the show with a clear view of the performers; dancers can then dance side-stage and not block the view of other guests.
We will work with you to create the best format, itierary and layout for your wedding reception. Dueling Pianos International likes to incorporate the East Coast Wedding format into the itinerary of every wedding performed. Please see a brief outline of the East Coast Wedding format below:
Order of events
Step 1: Hold cocktail hour as you would traditionally. Have guests enter the reception area prior to wedding party arrival.
Step 2: Enter the reception with the bridal party introduction. Immediately go into the bride/groom first dance. You already have everyone's attention; you might as well capitalize on it!
Step 3: Hold the first round of speeches/blessings/toasts.
Step 4: Serve the first/appetizer course. Complete the speeches after the first course has been served.
Step 5: Serve salad course. After it has been served, announce and hold the cake cutting.
Step 6: Parents of the bride "thank you" to guests, followed by the father/daughter and the mother/son dances.
Step 7: Serve the main course, during which you can display a slide show or some other form of entertainment.
Step 8: Serve cake.
Step 9: Continue with the desired reception music until "last dance."
