Photo of Sailing Waves Sailing Waves "Sailing Waves performed at mine and my husband’s wedding on 08.09.24 for our drinks reception and what can I say, they were amazing. They even recruited our flower girl on the tamborine. All the guests enjoyed the music. Would highly recommend!!" Based in Camberley, England (13 miles from Reading) Rachel Woods - Private Wedding Photo of Ock Street Band Ock Street Band "Great duo who understood exactly the type of music and the playlist required. A superb evening of 70s style folk performed by lovely people." Based in Abingdon, England (20 miles from Reading) Phil Johnson - Birthday party Photo of Pauline and the Imaginary Friends Pauline and the Imaginary Friends "I’ve seen Pauline and the Imaginary Friends perform several times now and their show is always full of energy and fun. Pauline has great vocals with a quirky style that is engaging and entertaining, and her adaptations of the songs are unique and interesting." Based in Staines-upon-Thames, England (20 miles from Reading) Shelle Luscombe Photo of The Pickin' Mix - Acoustic Duo The Pickin' Mix - Acoustic Duo "What an incredible duo. Such a lovely atmosphere playing at our wedding drinks reception. Everyone complimented how amazing and soothing Emily's voice and the guitar was. The perfect playlist for a sunny day!! Couldn't have asked for anything more, absolutely phenomenal. Thank you both so much, Hannah & Rosie x" Based in Guildford, England (23 miles from Reading) Hannah & Rosie - Wedding Photo of Greenvines Duo Greenvines Duo "Thank you so much to Greenvines for their amazing performance at my husband’s birthday party. They are both highly talented musicians and their performance really added a sense of magic on the night. Their repertoire is varied and has clearly been very carefully curated to incorporate different decades and genres of music that suit their unique ‘sound’ as a band. The set list for the night and volume level were perfect for the event and our guests were very impressed! They were an absolute pleasure to work with in every respect, both in the run-up to the event and on the night and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fabulous duo for their event." Based in Oxford, England (24 miles from Reading) Victoria - Birthday Party Photo of Mumfudden Suns Mumfudden Suns "Where do I even start? These gents were incredible. They were set up and raring to go prior to all guests arriving, they had a fantastic repertoire (something for everyone). Great vocals, excellent playing. I cannot fault them. They really made my wedding special and really hit home with our first dance request! (They played "Where is my mind" live). Beautiful night."

Frequently asked questions

Hiring acoustic duos typically costs between £150 and £1,050+, with an average of £410. The price depends on performance length, the musicians' experience and whether vocals are included alongside instrumental performance. An acoustic duo offers an intimate sound suited to ceremonies, receptions and smaller venues.

Many acoustic duos offer the flexibility to start with gentle background music during dinner or drinks and build to more energetic, party-style sets later. This makes them ideal for events that change in mood throughout the evening. It is worth discussing the event flow with the duo.

Hiring acoustic duos is a popular choice for wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, corporate dinners, garden parties, restaurant entertainment and intimate venues. An acoustic duo delivers more musical variety than a solo artist while remaining compact and versatile.

Most acoustic duos need very little space and bring their own instruments and a small PA system. Some can perform entirely acoustically for smaller venues. Their compact setup makes them ideal for venues with limited room for entertainment.

The acoustic duos perform a wide range of acoustic music including pop, rock, folk, soul, indie, country and current chart hits. The acoustic format gives songs a warm, intimate feel that suits both background music and featured performances.
