Music Duos in Bristol

Book a music duo in Bristol

For many weddings and parties in Bristol, a duo is the ideal middle ground: more musical depth than a solo act, a fraction of the space of a full band, and the flexibility to play from the ceremony through to the evening.

Across Bristol, duos are booked for weddings and events in and around Bristol, Clifton and Portishead. Venues in the area include Old Down Manor, Manor Farm and Nailsea Tithe Barn, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Paintworks Event Space, Barley Wood House and Goldney Hall, with details of each.

Duos come in several styles: acoustic duos playing stripped-back versions of well-known songs, jazz and lounge duos for a relaxed reception, and party duos using backing tracks to give a full-band sound for dancing.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for weddings since 1999. Every duo listed here travels to Bristol as standard, and the instant quote button on this page shows pricing and availability for your date.

The essentials:

• Budget from around £450 to £1,400, depending on the act and the date
• Book for the ceremony only, or for the ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast
• Popular dates go months in advance
• Everything included is listed in your quote
• Change your mind within 14 days and get a full refund

For most receptions and dinners, yes. A duo comfortably fills a room of around 100 guests and needs only a small area to set up. For a large function room or a crowd that wants to dance all night, look for a party duo with a bigger PA, or consider a full band.

Most duo bookings fall between £450 and £1,400. A single daytime set sits at the lower end, while a duo covering the ceremony, drinks, meal and an evening set sits towards the upper end. The date and time of year make up the rest of the difference, so a weekday or winter date can cost less than a summer Saturday.

Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the performer you would be booking, with videos, audio, a repertoire list and reviews. Between them you can get a clear sense of the act well before the day.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the wedding. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.
