Music Duos in Buckinghamshire

Book a music duo in Buckinghamshire

For many weddings and parties in Buckinghamshire, 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 Buckinghamshire, duos are booked for weddings and events in and around Aylesbury and High Wycombe. Venues in the area include Latimer Place, Notley Tythe Barn and Creslow Manor, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. You'll find more Buckinghamshire venues below, including Hedsor House, Stoke Place and Danesfield House Hotel, each with its own page.

Many duos are built for flexibility, starting with a gentle acoustic set for the ceremony and drinks, then switching to a livelier set later in the day. That makes a duo one of the best-value ways to cover several parts of a wedding.

Hireaband has booked wedding entertainment since 1999. Each duo on this page travels to Buckinghamshire as standard, and the instant quote button shows prices and availability for your date without waiting for a reply.

The essentials:

  • Prices usually from £450 up to £1,400
  • Many acts can cover more than one part of the day in a single booking
  • Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to enquire early
  • The quote you receive sets out exactly what's included
  • 14-day change-of-mind refund on every booking

An acoustic duo, usually vocals with guitar, suits a ceremony and drinks reception. A jazz or lounge duo works well through a dinner. A party duo with backing tracks is the one to choose if you want a dance floor later, as it gives the sound of a bigger band from two performers.

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.

Each act's page carries real video and audio, a repertoire list and reviews from previous clients. Watching a couple of clips tells you far more than any description can, so it's worth listening before you choose.

The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the day. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.

FAQs

It depends on the duo. Acoustic duos play stripped-back versions of well-known songs, jazz duos play standards and lounge music, and party duos play dance-floor hits, often with backing tracks.

Many can. A lot of duos offer packages covering the ceremony, drinks reception, wedding breakfast and an evening set.

A party duo with a proper PA is, for most venues in Buckinghamshire. For very large rooms, tell us the guest numbers and we'll suggest whether a duo or a bigger line-up suits better.

Not much. Around two by three metres and a nearby power socket is usually enough.

Typically £450 to £1,400, depending on the style, how long they play and the date. Your quote shows exactly what's included.

Most can, given enough notice. Mention it when you enquire.

“Dear Padraig Words cannot express how wonderful you were, at the celebration we had for my mum's passing, at Greenwoods recently. So many relatives asked whether you actually knew mum, as you had made it so personal, they were, as you could probably tell, really enjoying themselves! I could not have wished for a more fitting tribute to my mum, just sad that you couldn't meet her as she would have been your biggest fan that night! With sincere thanks.”

“Thank you very much for entertaining our pensioners today they all enjoyed the day and we had lovely comments about the entertainment. Perfect for our event and lovely voices from 2 lovely people. Thank you also for the little extra of entertaining our day care clients at their party during your break. We hope to see you again merry xmas”

“Thank you for a wonderful performance. Jack and Tee were excellent, got everyone up dancing, the music was good enough to satisfy my very fussy musical family and that's saying something. All the guests thought they were great and gave them excellent reviews. We highly recommend them and will not hesitate to call them for another family function. Flexible, current and worth every penny. (10 / 10)”

“Exceptionally talented pair. Had the pleasure of listening to them on the P&O Britannia and they helped us have a fantastic time, we were truly entertained. The vocals are beautifully on point and create a perfect atmosphere. Best of all is their choice of repertoire, so much variety and perfect to relax to; I even found myself singing along on several occasions! Thanks for some great music.”

(5)

“Absolutely superb! Would recommend these guys to anyone looking for a band that offers something that little bit different. Great with a more chilled out set outside in the summer sun as guests arrived for the wedding reception, then a more energetic set to kick off the evening celebrations and get everyone up and dancing. We had so many comments for our guests about just how perfect Bully & The Banjo were. They set a warm, celebratory tone at the start which lasted through the entire reception.”

(5)

“Absolutely fantastic performances and sets, everyone totally loved the vibe and the amazing performers- everyone was asking who they were and how I found them. When it rained they came off the stage and performed inside the marquee creating a really intimate magical moment, and graciously did a couple of requests for us all to join in on - couldn't have asked for more or better, simply brilliant! 11/10 thanks so much”
