Music Duos in Nottinghamshire

Live duos for weddings and parties in Nottinghamshire

Two musicians can cover a surprising amount of ground. Across Nottinghamshire, 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 Nottingham, Mansfield and Newark or further afield, the duos here cover the whole of Nottinghamshire. Local venues include Colwick Hall, Hodsock Priory and Village Hotel, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. You'll find more Nottinghamshire venues below, including Holme Pierrepont Hall, Norwood Park and Hazel Gap Barn, 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.

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

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.

Prices usually start from around £450 and go up to £1,400 or so. 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. Your quote shows the full price for your date, so you can compare acts on the same basis.

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 Nottinghamshire. 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.

Great musicians and great people!
Thank you, we hope to have you back in the future!”

“Thank you so much to Ian and the band for an absolutely amazing night last night for my daughter’s wedding! I had so many people asking the name of the band and saying how great they were! You really made it a special evening and got people up on the floor, enjoying themselves! Thanks again, and I’ll be recommending you to anyone looking for a party band.”

His impressive technique is matched by a mature sense of musicianship and he has a comprehensive understanding of how to fluently negotiate a broad range of repertoire.

“We booked "The Callers" for our company summer BBQ earlier this year. They were so accommodating to our requirements and were able to match the atmosphere of our event precisely. Their range of songs was excellent and we received lots of comments from our employees about the quality of their performance. We would certainly recommend them in the future.”

“The duo were fantastic both in their music and in their attitude towards making the event a success! They accommodated some last minute changes to the schedule without hesitation and also accompanied some 'Karaoke' style entertainment from our MD. I would definitely use them again and recommend to others. Many thanks!”

“Natalie and Aaron were exactly what I wanted for my 50th. They accommodated my every need and we had them play for an extra hour because we were all having such a great time. There was never a dull moment with the energy that Natalie and Aaron brought to the party. Talented musicians and lovely people- would definitely recommend to others”
