Music Duos in Essex

Live duos for weddings and parties in Essex

Two musicians can cover a surprising amount of ground. Across Essex, duos play everything from gentle ceremony music to lively party sets, which makes them a popular choice for weddings and celebrations where one act needs to cover most of the day.

Popular wedding venues in Essex include Baddow Park House, Great Lodge and Crondon Park, and our duos travel to weddings and events across Chelmsford, Colchester and Southend-on-Sea. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose an act that suits the space. You'll find more Essex venues below, including Mulberry House, Vaulty Manor and Anne of Cleves Barn, 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.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched couples with live entertainment for their wedding day. The duos listed here all travel to Essex, and the instant quote button shows pricing and availability in a few seconds.

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

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.

Every act's page has video and audio of the performer you would actually book, along with their repertoire and written reviews from couples who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the sound before you commit.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.
