A guide to booking

Hire Classical Duos in United Kingdom

Classical duos in United Kingdom typically pair a melodic instrument such as violin, cello or flute with piano or harp, giving you the harmony and warmth of a small ensemble in a footprint that fits comfortably into ceremony spaces, drinks reception areas and dinner rooms. Most acts cover a mix of baroque, romantic and contemporary classical works alongside arrangements of pop and film music for couples who want both traditional and personal touches.

Wedding and Event Use

Ceremony bookings usually cover prelude, processional, signing and recessional across roughly 30 to 45 minutes of music. Drinks reception and dinner sets normally run for an hour or two, split into 45-minute halves with short breaks. Local duos will learn requested pieces given a few weeks' notice, and many can scale up by adding a third or fourth player for couples wanting a fuller string sound for the aisle or first dance.

Classical Duo Pricing

Rates for classical duos in United Kingdom generally range from £120 for shorter ceremony performances to £900+ for full-day wedding bookings or established acts with extensive event experience. The average price of £340 typically covers performance time, basic amplification where needed, and consultation on repertoire. Travel beyond the immediate area, custom arrangements and longer set durations may carry additional fees.

Il est tellement professionnel et à l’écoute au client. Il a initialisé la préparation bien en amont avec l’échange détaillé pour assurer que ça se passe bien le jour j. C’est la chance d’avoir l’accompagnement de ce groupe pendant notre marriage." 5th August 2026 Lin - Wedding Photo of Anton Violinist & Ensemble Anton Violinist & Ensemble "Thank you Anton You made our NYE musically so joyful !😀 Wishing you and your teammates a very happy new year" 11th August 2026 E.M. - Private NYE Concert Photo of Strings Of The Heart Strings Of The Heart "“Amazing and mesmerizing Classical Duo. They really brought a refreshing classical twist to our event.” — Jamie, Corporate Event" 5th September 2026 Jamie - Corporate Event Photo of San Francisco Bay Area Musician Harp Piano San Francisco Bay Area Musician Harp Piano "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mary Mei Brought Our Wedding Vision to Life! If you want a performance that will leave your guests in tears of absolute joy, you must book Mary Mei. For our recent wedding, Mary did not just provide background music—she curated a breathtaking, emotional journey that completely defined the magic of our day. Her ability on the harp, the piano, and the traditional Chinese Guzheng brought an elite level of sophistication and deeply moving artistry that we didn't even know was possible. The absolute highlight of the entire day was our wedding ceremony processional. As the doors opened and I began walking down the aisle, Mary struck the first chords on her gorgeous harp. The acoustics of the room filled with a sound so rich, angelic, and emotionally resonant that it instantly set a tone of pure romance and awe. It felt like stepping directly into a movie scene. Her pacing was flawless, seamlessly matching the energy of the room and creating a deeply personal, sacred moment that none of us will ever forget." 22nd September 2026 Jenny - Wedding Photo of Modal Duet Modal Duet "We hired Manos and Danai for our wedding ceremony as well as the post-ceremony drinks, couple entrance, wedding cake song and after party. We demanded a big variety of styles including cinematic, blues, pop and the great dj set that rocked our world! They jammed on it real time without knowing the repertoire in advance. Truly amazing! We highly recommend this amazing couple! Hope to meet you again some time! A big hug!" 25th September 2026 Pantelis - Eleftheria - Wedding (August 2026)
