Music Duos in Manchester
Book a music duo in Manchester
For many weddings and parties in Manchester, a duo is the ideal middle ground: more musical depth than a solo act, a fraction of the space of a full band, and the flexibility to play from the ceremony through to the evening.
Popular wedding venues in Manchester include Victoria Warehouse, Manchester Hall and Victoria Baths, and our duos travel to weddings and events across Manchester, Salford and Stockport. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose an act that suits the space. Other venues in the area include The Monastery Manchester, The Principal / Kimpton Clocktower and The Midland Hotel, and each has its own venue page further down.
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.
Since 1999, Hireaband has matched couples with live entertainment for their wedding day. The duos listed here all travel to Manchester, and the instant quote button shows pricing and availability in a few seconds.
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.
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.
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.
