Music Duos in Hertfordshire

Book a music duo in Hertfordshire

Two musicians can cover a surprising amount of ground. Across Hertfordshire, 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.

Hertfordshire has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Pendley Manor Hotel and Dyrham Park Country Club to Tewinbury. Our duos travel to towns across the area, including St Albans, Watford and Hertford, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. Chenies Manor House, Fanhams Hall Hotel and The Old Palace at Hatfield House are among the other Hertfordshire venues listed further down, each with its own page.

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 Hertfordshire 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

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.

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.

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.

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 Hertfordshire. 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.

“just a note to say thanks for all the effort you and the guys put in to our wedding day. The comments from our guests were fantastic as was your performance and professionalism throughout. Sorry about the last minute panic calls and mails I sent; you really saved my life with the “it’s no problem” attitude”

(5)

“Hi both, we've had many compliments from our guests about your performances and we couldn't be more pleased with how things went. Not only did you provide fantastic live music, but you did it in a tight spot with minimal help from us! We sincerely believe that we could not have chosen a better band for the day and want to thank you both for coming. Mr & Mrs Miller :)”

“The Callers were absolutely brilliant, and everyone at the wedding said that they were too! Ant (the lead singer) was very easy to communicate with in the weeks leading up to the performance taking our requests and made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout. I would highly recommend this band to anybody looking to book, all of the songs were very well performed but most importantly the band were committed to making sure that everybody enjoyed themselves.”

(5)

“We had the best day ever for our wedding party and Mitch played a big part in that. He read the room, got the vibe right and had everyone dancing all night. The percussion sets made everything feel a bit more bout and special. And he was flexible when we made a couple of questionable music requests too :D Definitely recommended All Night Long for parties and weddings.”

(5)

“We just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you so much to you and the rest of Lanigans Shindig for playing a fantastic gig at our wedding last month! We had an absolutely amazing time, and you guys were the perfect end to the perfect day. We hope you had as much fun as we did, everyone thought you were brilliant. Thank you too, for the wonderful collection of CD's. It's a lovely reminder of the day.”

(5)

“From the point of enquiring to the day of the event we were excited to see what Joe and Billy would bring to our annual music festival and let's just say they did not disappoint! These guys sure know how to get the crowd going!
Great musicians and great people!
Thank you, we hope to have you back in the future!”
