On this week's episode we hear from Jake of Felix & Fingers - a dueling piano company that can provide LIVE, highly engaging and interactive entertainment for your coolest wedding clients and guests. I was skeptical about how the logistics of dueling pianos would work for a wedding but Jake pulled the curtain back in a MAJOR way to show us why having a dueling pianos at a wedding reception is actually GENIUS. Plus, he tells us why live musicians need those vendor meals early in the day. Hint: It's not what I thought!
