FAQs about acoustic duos
How much does it cost to hire Acoustic Duos?
Acoustic duos are typically more affordable than jazz bands or modern pop bands, as they don't need as much equipment. Rates usually start at £600, but it depends on how popular the band is and how long you book them for.
How long do Acoustic Duos typically perform at weddings?
Many will offer a two-hour set, which you can either enjoy during the reception or split the time. For example, some people may ask the duo to play background music during the ceremony and then perform a set for the reception.
Can Acoustic Duos perform our first dance song?
Absolutely! When you book the band, you can ask them to perform your first dance song, and they'll happily accommodate you. However, the song may need to be adapted for acoustic guitars, so telling the brand in advance is essential.
Do Acoustic Duos bring their equipment, including sound systems and instruments?
Yes, they do. As acoustic duos are usually more laid back than traditional bands, there are usually no issues adapting their set to the venue. However, some venues have noise restrictions, so you should inform the band beforehand to ensure they bring the right equipment.
How far in advance should we book an Acoustic Duo for our wedding?
Acoustic music is incredibly popular for weddings, and many bands are often booked in advance. Wherever possible, book in advance to avoid disappointment.
Will Acoustic Duos travel to any location in the UK?
The bands on our website usually travel across the UK, but some may prefer to perform locally. If your chosen acoustic wedding duo prefers to stay local, they may still be willing to travel for an additional fee.
Can Acoustic bands cover different genres, like pop, folk, and jazz, or just one style?
Acoustic music is a style in its own right, but many duos will adapt their set to suit your preferred musical styles. For example, you can find a band that plays classic hits from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, or some may be willing to offer acoustic versions of classic pop and jazz classics.
An explosive acoustic duo might adapt rock and R&B songs, while a contemporary acoustic duo usually plays popular songs.
What happens during the Acoustic Duo’s breaks—do they provide background music?
Yes, many will offer a laptop DJ service to entertain guests while taking a break. You can also hire a separate band or DJ to keep the party going and ensure your guests fill the dance floor.
Can an Acoustic Duo adjust the volume level to suit different parts of the day?
Of course! The ceremony requires softer acoustic arrangements with backing vocals, while the reception is about celebrating and getting the guests involved. Your guitar duo can adjust their volume to suit the setting and your needs.
Can Acoustic Duos expand to include extra musicians if we want a bigger sound?
It depends on whether they're flexible. Some duos have a network of musicians that they may be able to tap into, but if you want a full-band sound, it's probably best to hire a pop or jazz band that plays lively, classic and modern songs.
Do Acoustic Duos have public liability insurance and the necessary performance licenses?
When you hire an acoustic duo, you can rest assured that they have the necessary licenses and public liability insurance.
Can the Acoustic Duo dress match our wedding style or theme?
Yes, the acoustic musicians will match your wedding style or theme whenever possible. Please let them know in advance so they can plan.
Are there any additional costs for Acoustic Duos, like travel or accommodation?
Most acoustic bands will include travel fees in their rate, but there may be an additional cost for travel - especially if the band doesn't usually play locally.
Can we watch the Acoustic Duo perform live before booking or see video demos?
Many acoustic artists perform at weddings and corporate events, but they also take part in festivals and local events. You can view their profile, where there are videos or recordings of live music, to get an idea of how the duo sounds and hear their stunning vocals.
Do most Acoustic Duos take song requests on the day of the wedding?
It depends on the band. If you're looking for flexibility, the website has acoustic duos suitable for your needs. However, many prefer to plan their sets in advance.
How do we secure booking an acoustic wedding duo? Do we need to pay a deposit?
Once you find the best acoustic duo for your needs, just complete the booking form and reserve them. You'll need to pay a deposit to secure the band's services.
Reviews from local events in the UK
“Acoustic Royale were absolutely incredible. I cannot sing their praises enough. In the run up to the wedding their communication was fantastic, completely put us at ease and really understood what we wanted from our wedding day. The atmosphere they created was amazing and all our guests said how good they were. The mashup on songs was so much fun and kept everyone on their toes. I would recommend them to absolutely everyone. I think the photos show how much fun was had.”
Booked Acoustic Royale for a Wedding at The Moonraker Hotel, Trowbridge, Wiltshire
“Amazing!! Such a beautiful voice and a lovely chap! Am now trying to think of other events we could book Eddy for in the future :)”
“Hired the guys for my wedding party, I knew they'd be good as had watched all of their YouTube videos and they didn't disappoint. They went down a storm and everyone is still talking about how good they were. Can't wait for the next time we have a big celebration and I can hire them again.”
“Sunbirds Duo were absolutely brilliant! The vibe from start to finish was spot on, with great music that really lifted the whole atmosphere. Professional, energetic, and genuinely fun to listen to—they made the event feel special and memorable. Would definitely recommend!”
“If we could leave 6 stars we would. Sunbirds Duo were, without doubt, the best money we spent at our wedding. We had so many guests asking about them afterwards and complimenting us on our choice to book them. They played before and during our ceremony, as well as a roaming trio at our drinks reception. But the highlight by far was them gatecrashing (planned!) our dessert, duetting with guests and dancing around the tables. If you do one thing for your wedding, book these guys!”
Booked Sunbirds Duo for a wedding at London Marriott Hotel Regents Park
“Exactly what we wanted from a duo for our festival style wedding party. We wanted a mix of different acts and wanted to choose particular songs and the guys were so accommodating. So glad you could be part of our day!”
“Rebel Hearts provided the live music for our wedding day, and they were simply outstanding. Kate’s voice is beautiful, and Simon’s acoustic guitar playing complemented it perfectly. They performed three songs during our ceremony and even went above and beyond by learning La Vie en Rose especially for us. They created a French–English version, with Kate singing the French part and Simon the English, and there truly wasn’t a dry eye in the room. They then played during our drinks reception, creating a wonderfully relaxed and joyful atmosphere, and returned once more to perform our song as we entered the wedding breakfast. Each performance felt perfectly judged and added so much emotion and warmth to the day. They were absolutely amazing. Dermot and I only regret that we didn’t get to sit and listen to them properly ourselves, as we were busy greeting and entertaining our guests, but everyone commented on how fantastic they were. We couldn’t recommend Rebel Hearts more highly.”

“Thank you so much for singing at our wedding reception! We were absolutely blown away! Could hear you whilst doing all our photos and our guests absolutely loved you. Would 100% book you for another big occasion!! Many thanks, Mr & Mrs Williams x”
“The Casette Kids were fabulous - they arrived early, performed fabulously and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. They also lent us their microphone for speeches which was much appreciated (and an impromptu song).”
Booked The Cassette Kids for a party at Lavershot Barns in Windlesham, UK
“The trio were super professional from booking to event. They set a lovely atmosphere for our event and we’ll definitely be using them again in the future.”
“Just wanted to say a big thank you, for helping make Laura and my wedding extra memorable. The performances were fantastic - loads of the guests commented on how great you guys were. Thanks again, Tom.”
“Gentle Grooves provided the perfect soundtrack to our intimate garden party. Their soulful acoustic vibes created a warm and inviting atmosphere. The intricate guitar, soft vocals, and subtle percussion blended seamlessly, captivating everyone from the youngest to the oldest guests. A musical journey through the decades, their diverse setlist pleased every generation. We were thrilled with their performance, and our guests couldn't stop raving about them. They turned our gathering into an unforgettable musical experience. Highly recommended!”
