FAQ'S
Everything you need to know about DJ / Piano entertainment.
No. The live piano is strategically integrated at key moments throughout the night to enhance the energy and create those “wow” moments. DJing remains the foundation, I read the crowd and add piano when it elevates the experience. It’s about creating the perfect balance, not overwhelming every song.
Most couples book 12 to 18 months in advance, especially for peak season from April through October. However, I occasionally have availability for dates within the year. Check availability as soon as possible to secure your preferred date.
I’m based in Charleston and regularly perform throughout the Lowcountry including Mount Pleasant, Kiawah, Folly Beach, and Isle of Palms. I also travel to Columbia, Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, and accept destination weddings nationwide.
