Acoustic Duos for hire in Ipswich
Latest reviews of our Acoustic Duos in Ipswich

"Sarah and Ben played for our wedding ceremony and at our prosecco reception right after in May 2025. They were a perfect accompaniment to our day - they were faultless and really added a special springtime touch to the whole day. They learned not one but 4 requests for our ceremony and played them beautifully! They also moved from indoors to outdoors for the reception without a hitch. We can't recommend them enough and only regret we haven't been able to source footage of their music from our guests to better remember them by! Thanks so much for being a part of our day, it wouldn't have been the same without the pair of you adding the music."

"What can we say? We had a blast with Vice Herder on a party night at our house. They were bang on time and set off playing the songs from their song list that we had requested. Unfortunately due to the great British weather we had to erect a gazebo for them to perform in but this didn't diminish from the performance. Vice Herder were amazing and, as the evening went on, joined in with a few people enjoying themselves due to too much alcohol. Vice Herder were excellent and we would recommend them to anyone wishing to hire them. Great stuff"

FAQs about hiring Acoustic duos in Ipswich
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Can any acoustic duo play my favourite song?
Professional acoustic duos will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that acoustic duos may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the acoustic duo's song list on their Encore profile.
How much time do acoustic duos take to set up?
Your acoustic duo will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the acoustic duo prior to their arrival.
My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?
PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our acoustic duos are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our acoustic duos will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
