Reviews from local events in Portugal
“We Our wedding was at Casa Avó Genoveva, near Tomar, Portugal, on 27 June 2026. Jo played alongside our DJ, Bruno, during the cocktail hour, and the atmosphere was fantastic. Bruno played exactly the style of music we had asked for, and Jo blended in perfectly, adding so much energy and emotion without ever overpowering the music. Communication was easy, he was professional, arrived on time, and everything ran smoothly. If your budget allows it, we would definitely recommend booking Jo. It was one of those details that made our wedding feel even more special.”
“We just want to say a huge thank you to the band Cloud 9 for such an amazing performance at our wedding, it truly was a night we will never forget! We and all of our guests absolutely loved every moment. The atmosphere you created throughout the evening was incredible, and you could really tell you all have many years of experience behind you. Every song was performed brilliantly, and the playlist was perfect from start to finish. We honestly cannot even pick a favourite because every single song was so good and kept everyone enjoying themselves all night long. The energy, professionalism, and talent you brought to our special day made it even more memorable, and the dance floor was full all evening. So many of our guests commented afterwards on how fantastic the band were. Thank you again for helping create such an unforgettable celebration and memories we will cherish forever. With love, Mr & Mrs Minnis 08.06.26”
“We were very happy with Jam Rock! Everything worked well, they are professional, responsive, helpful and most importantly great performers. Sincere recommendation from us!”
Booked Jam Rock for a wedding at The One Palácio da Anunciada, Portugal
“Bruno was fantastic from start to finish. We got married on 27 June 2026 at Casa Avó Genoveva, near Tomar, Portugal. Communication was easy throughout the whole planning process, and he was always quick to reply and happy to help. On the wedding day everything ran exactly as planned. Bruno followed all of our requests and even went beyond what we expected by helping us think through some of the key moments of the day. Every special song was played perfectly – the bride’s entrance, ceremony exit, our entrance to dinner and our first dance all happened exactly as planned. He carefully respected our must-play and do-not-play lists, which was something that was very important to us. We’ve been to weddings where DJs ignored the couple’s requests, so we really appreciated Bruno taking everything into account. He provided music across three different locations (ceremony, cocktail hour and evening party), and everything worked seamlessly. During the cocktail hour he also performed alongside our saxophonist, and they worked brilliantly together. The sound quality, lighting and overall setup were excellent, and the dance floor was full all night. We received lots of compliments from our guests about the music. If you’re looking for a professional, reliable wedding DJ who genuinely listens to what you want and helps make the day run smoothly, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bruno.”
“We honestly couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. From the very first conversation, Miguel completely understood our vision and somehow managed to elevate it beyond anything we could have imagined. He took us and our guests on a journey throughout the entire day from the relaxed atmosphere of cocktail hour to an unforgettable dance floor that was packed until the very end of the night. The energy, the transitions and the music were impeccable. We lost count of the number of guests who came up to us saying, "This is the best playlist ever!" and asking where we'd found our DJ. It was genuinely the best party we've ever been to, and that's all down to Miguel's incredible talent for reading the room and creating an unforgettable experience. He went above and beyond in every way, and we couldn't be more grateful. If you're looking for someone who will create an incredible atmosphere and leave your guests talking about the music long after your wedding, Miguel is your person. Thank you for making one of the best days of our lives even more unforgettable.”
“Jo was brilliant and made our small family wedding so special. His repertoire is wide-ranged and he was very sensitive as to when to play appropriate music during the short ceremony and then livened things up afterwards and had us all dancing. We really couldn't have asked for more. I can’t recommend him highly enough for any kind of party.”
“From the very first song, they created an atmosphere that was nothing short of magical. The energy was immaculate, their skills outstanding, and what impressed us most was their incredible ability to read the room and adapt to the crowd. The dance floor was full all night long. At one point, even our grandad was dancing with his walking stick! They managed to bring together guests of every age, nationality, and musical taste, and kept everyone smiling, singing, and dancing. Thank you for giving us one of the best nights of our lives. We will never forget it! ❤️🔥”

Booked Amazing Days Jazz Band for a birthday party at Palacio do Grilo, Lisbon, Portugal
“The Kingmakers were absolutely amazing! They created an incredible party atmosphere that had everyone on the dance floor from start to finish. Their musical repertoire was outstanding, with something for every guest to enjoy. Every member of the band was friendly, approachable, and interacted brilliantly with our guests, making the experience even more special. The feedback was simply: "Absolutely incredible!" Our guests loved every minute of the performance and couldn't stop talking about it. We highly recommend The Kingmakers for their professionalism, dedication, and outstanding service throughout the entire process, from the initial planning and communication to their amazing performance on the wedding day. They truly exceeded all our expectations!”
Booked The Kingmakers for a wedding at Valverde Santar Hotel & Spa - Relais & Châteaux, Santar, Portugal
“My wife and I celebrated our 50th Birthday in the Duque De Loulé rooftop, we did a private event, and DJ Lisbon came fully prepared with lights, sound system, and a great set up. DJ Lisbon did an outstanding job mixing and elaborating on the playlist we gave him for our 50th B Day. His mixes and flow of the music were phenomenal. He knew how to read the crowd and kept us dancing for 4 hours non-stop. If you want a DJ that can keep up with the crowd, have great music transitions, and hype up the party, DJ Lisbon is your guy. I recommend him 100%, you will not regret it.”
Booked DJ Lisbon for a birthday party at H10 Duque de Loulé, Lisbon, Portugal
“DJ Lisbon was fantastic for our wedding in Melides. He worked really well to ensure we had music from pre-ceremony, through happy hour, dinner and beyond. The dance floor was lively, he was really collaborative in working our music we wanted to hear, and kept the vibes super positive. He was great to work with, super great on the communication front and would HIGHLY recommend him for anyone looking to have an event or DJ in Lisbon, Comporta, or Melides.”
“Woodsmoke Roamers were amazing at our pre-wedding. They brought incredible energy, were super engaging with guests, and really set the tone for the night. They were also very accommodating with our requests and read the crowd perfectly. Everyone absolutely loved them, they made the evening unforgettable.”
Here's a List of Some Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Hiring an Acoustic for Weddings and Events...
What exactly is an acoustic duo?
It’s a duo of musicians with one or both members singing, with one or both playing on acoustic guitar. This, of course, is not a strict definition though. One member of the duo can instead perform on keyboard or even a reduced drum kit (snare and hi-hat) or any other acoustic instrument for that matter.
What are the advantages of hiring an acoustic duo for your wedding or event?
As they are just two musicians, the cost for hiring an acoustic duo is usually significantly less than hiring a full band. They require less time to set up and pack down at the end of the night and can perform in a smaller stage area, often less than 2m x 2m.
For what occasions are acoustic duos suitable?
Just about any occasion where live music is required, but they are particularly suitable for wedding receptions with fewer guests in smaller, more intimate wedding venues. They are suitable at venues with difficult access where it would be problematic to bring all of the equipment required for a full wedding band.
They are ideal as background music for more low-key events like a drinks reception, small corporate events or even Christmas parties.
Acoustic duos are also ideal for wedding venues with strict sound limiters in place. Most wedding venues in the UK now have sound limiters fitted – they can cause the power supply to the band to be cut off if a certain pre-determined decibel limit is exceeded. It’s best to check with your venue if they have a sound limiter installed, and at what level it is set, e.g. 95 decibels (dB), 90dB or sometimes as low as 85dB.
Hiring an acoustic duo thus means you don’t have to worry about sound limiter issues as the sound produced by the duo is always far below the limiter’s level.
Acoustic duos are also suitable for international events where you require the duo to travel to your event to perform. For example, many UK based acoustic duos on FixTheMusic perform at weddings in France, Italy and Spain.
With just two members, there is less equipment to transport and fewer expenses to pay for – clients are paying for flights and accommodation for only two musicians, rather than four or five. Hence, hiring an acoustic duo for destination weddings is a cost-effective and popular solution.
Are acoustic duos loud enough to get people dancing at a wedding reception or party?
Absolutely. Most acoustic duos have a party set ideal for dancing – some use a self-contained PA system to boost their sound when required.
How much cheaper will an acoustic duo be in comparison to a full band?
Put simply, the main factor that determines the cost of live music is the number of musicians required. Therefore, an acoustic duo is often about half the price of hiring a four-piece band for your event.
What sort of music do acoustic duos play?
Acoustic duos can perform any music that a full band would perform, of course with a more stripped-back arrangement. Their set lists often feature many acoustic guitar-based songs but they are highly skilled musicians who perform a wide range of pop and rock covers.
How do I hire an acoustic duo for my event?
On FixTheMusic there are several professional acoustic duos listed. Submit an enquiry to receive quotes directly from local duos. You can compare their quotes, message them on our secure system and when you’re ready to book, you can pay safely online by debit or credit card. It’s that simple!
