Music Duos in Cardiff

Live duos for weddings and parties in Cardiff

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

Whether your wedding is near Cardiff, Penarth and Barry or further afield, the duos here cover the whole of Cardiff. Local venues include Hensol Castle, Llanerch Vineyard and Miskin Manor, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Pencoed House Estate, Coed-y-Mwstwr and De Courceys Manor are among the other Cardiff venues listed further down, each with its own page.

Two musicians can do a surprising amount. An acoustic duo adds harmonies to a ceremony, a jazz duo gives a dinner a sense of occasion, and a party duo with backing tracks can fill a dance floor in a room where a full band wouldn't fit.

We've been booking wedding entertainment since 1999, and every duo on this page covers Cardiff. You can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

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.

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 Cardiff. 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.

“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.”

(5)

“"I just wanted to say a huge thanks for doing such a fantastic job for our wedding. Everyone has been telling me how much they enjoyed the music, and Nicki and I had such a great time.the dance floor was in use all night long, a tribute to your great playing and of course, your great singing"”

(5)

“Absolutely fantastic, very professional. A beautiful voice which was even better than the video. We booked them for 1 hr and to sing our first dance song. It is a memory that I will never forget. All the guests really enjoyed the music as they sang songs from all genres and did it extremely well. Very talented. We are very pleased that we booked them and could not have asked for more.”

(5)

“"Gavin, I was sitting with my son near to the set on Friday. We were not going to stay but then your music came on... We stayed for the full 3 sets. Just wanted to say - you were very slick, very professional - we had a really great evening. I will be doing something requiring music this spring or summer, so I will definitely contact you, cheers!"”
