What moves the price
- Number of sets — an acoustic duo playing the ceremony, drinks and evening charges more than one short set
- Sound system — a duo that brings its own PA and lighting adds kit and setup time to the fee
- Line-up — vocals with guitar and keys, or a violin and guitar pairing, change how the duo prices itself
- Experience — an established acoustic duo with a strong wedding diary charges above a newer act
- Peak dates — summer Saturdays and December parties book out first and cost most
- Travel and overnight stays — a duo playing a far-off venue may add mileage or a hotel to the fee

How to pay less
- Book the acoustic duo for one part of the day, such as the drinks reception, rather than all day
- Choose a duo based near the venue so the quote carries little travel
- Use the acoustic duo's own setlist instead of asking them to learn new songs
Before you book
- Watch live footage of the acoustic duo rather than only studio recordings
- Check the venue's rules on live music, volume and sound limiters
- Ask the duo for public liability insurance and PAT-tested equipment
- Agree set times, breaks, food for the musicians and the price of an extra set
Acoustic Duo cost: questions people ask
Most UK acoustic duos charge between £200 and £2,500 per booking, with about £550 the usual figure. Short sets outside peak season sit low, and in-demand duos covering a whole wedding sit high.
Usually two or three sets of around 45 minutes. Ceremony music and longer days are priced as extra time.
Venues hosting live music usually hold a premises licence and a music licence from PPL PRS. For private events at home no licence is normally needed, so check with the venue.
Many acoustic duos will learn one special song, sometimes free and sometimes for a small fee. Ask early, as they need time to rehearse.
Extra sets, new songs beyond one request, lighting and long-distance travel are normally added to the quote.
