What is an acoustic duo?
Generally speaking, an acoustic duo is an ensemble of two musicians with one or both members singing, and one or both playing an acoustic guitar. This isn't a strict definition though. One member of the duo can instead perform on keyboard or even a stripped-back drum kit (snare and hi-hat) or any other acoustic instrument for that matter.
Acoustic duos are ideal for:
- Garden parties
- Wedding ceremonies
- Drinks receptions
- Background music during the wedding breakfast
- Even upbeat sets for dancing at smaller, more intimate weddings
FixTheMusic's acoustic duo wedding bands perform in a variety of styles, from pop, folk and rock covers to soul, indie and RnB.

How much does it cost to hire an acoustic duo band for a wedding in the UK?
The exact price to hire an acoustic duo can vary depending on a few key factors, but in 2025 you can generally expect to pay between £600 and £900 for most UK-based acts. Some duos with less professional experience may charge a little less, while others who are in high demand may set their prices above this range.
Things that can affect the final cost include travel and accommodation expenses if needed, how long you want the duo to perform for (for example, just the ceremony or throughout the drinks reception, first dance and evening party), and whether they bring their own sound and lighting equipment.
If you're booking an acoustic wedding band with more than two musicians, you should expect to pay more to cover the extra performers.
