Music Duos on the Isle of Wight

Live duos for weddings and parties on the Isle of Wight

Two musicians can cover a surprising amount of ground. Across the Isle of Wight, 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.

Whether your wedding is near Newport, Ryde and Cowes or further afield, the duos here cover the whole of the Isle of Wight. Local venues include Cowes Yacht Haven, East Afton Farmhouse and Appuldurcombe House, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Royal Ocean Racing Club, New Barn Farm and Barton Manor, with details of each.

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.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for weddings since 1999. Every duo listed here travels to the Isle of Wight as standard, and the instant quote button on this page shows pricing and availability for your date.

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.

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.

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.
