Music Duos in York
Live duos for weddings and parties in York
For many weddings and parties in York, 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.
Whether your wedding is near York, Selby and Tadcaster or further afield, the duos here cover the whole of York. Local venues include The Grand, York, Villa Farm and Grays Court, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Other venues in the area include Merchant Adventurers' Hall, Bedern Hall and Middlethorpe Hall, and each has its own venue page further down.
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.

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.
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.
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.
