Music Duos in Cambridgeshire

Live duos for weddings and parties in Cambridgeshire

A duo gives you more than a solo act without the size of a full band. In Cambridgeshire, duos are booked for wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, dinners and parties, adding harmonies and a fuller sound while still fitting into a small space.

Popular wedding venues in Cambridgeshire include The Guildhall, Longstowe Hall and Swynford Manor, and our duos travel to weddings and events across Cambridge, Peterborough and Ely. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose an act that suits the space. You'll find more Cambridgeshire venues below, including Trinity Hall, Bassmead Manor Barns and Chippenham Park, 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 Cambridgeshire as standard, and the instant quote button shows prices and availability for your date without waiting for a reply.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £450 to £1,400, depending on how long they perform and the date
  • Your quote shows exactly what's included
  • Ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast packages available from many acts
  • Most couples book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind 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.

Expect to pay from around £450 up to £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. Busy Saturdays in summer and December sit at the top of the range, and your quote shows exactly what's included.

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.

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.

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 Cambridgeshire. 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.

“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”

(5)

“I honestly can't recommend these guys enough, support helpful and supportive in the lead up to everything and then when they actually started playing, amazing! Interacted with all of our guests and absolutely smashed it. The band were amazing, I promise you, you will love having these guys as part of your big day just like we did.”

(5)

“Close Harmony were amazing from the get go. They came up with great suggestions taking our tastes and preferences on board, and providing alternative suggestions which worked perfectly. They learnt our first dance as a new song and even changed some of the wording for us to fit better. Everyone of our guests commented on how great they were and our night wouldn't have been the same without them. Thank you so much, so glad we booked you”

(5)

“The duo were absolutely fantastic. They really made our wedding ceremony special and were even happy to be requested songs to prepare and perform for the day - one unusual request was for the congregation to sing a secular 'hymn' - in this case 'Stand by Me' - the duo performed it amazingly but also encouraged everyone to sing, which really lightened the atmosphere - exactly what we wanted. Our wedding guests were also really impressed - everyone kept saying how good they were.”
