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 £850+ 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.
