"Sandra and Paul were an absolute highlight of our wedding day at Syon Park! We searched for a long time to find the right musicians for our ceremony and cocktail hour, and they were the perfect fit. The combination of violin and guitar is so unique. We found that it strikes the ideal balance between the elegance of strings and the fun, relaxed vibe of an acoustic guitar. Sandra and Paul were a total delight to work with throughout the planning process. We had an intro call before booking and then just one more prior to the day. They learned "Wildest Dreams" by Taylor Swift at my request for my entrance, which was absolutely beautiful. My husband loved their rendition of Bird of a Feather and chose that as his entrance song. Our guests absolutely loved them and we received so many compliments on their behalf. They set a wonderful tone playing before the ceremony and kept that atmosphere going right through the drinks reception. We cannot recommend Sandra and Paul enough, they brought so much magic to our day!"

FAQs about hiring Wedding Acoustic duos in Basildon
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.
