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 act for your needs, just complete the booking form and reserve them. You'll need to pay a deposit to secure the band's services.
