Essex Harpists

If you're planning to provide light entertainment for a quiet but classy event, we at Bands for Hire have compiled a host of local Essex harpists for that very purpose. The delicate strains of a harp ringing out across the room will touch the hearts and capture the imaginations of all in attendance, and they will also be able to maintain a regular level of conversation. Having graced such prestigious venues as the Ritz, the Hilton and St Paul's Cathedral, you can rest assured of the professional standard our harpists in Essex uphold.

Hire a Wedding Harpists in Essex

Thanks to the romantic connotations of harp music, our harpists in Essex are a popular choice for wedding breakfasts and receptions. If you feel a full band would be too overbearing or would take up too much space, a solo harpist bears a distinct advantage. The surprising versatility of this lone instrument would be ideal for any garden party, private dinner function, corporate or charity event that requires a reserved and sophisticated atmosphere.

Book Local Harpists in Essex

Our Essex harpists are available to areas including Basildon, Benfleet, Billericay, Braintree, Brentwood, Canvey, Canvey Island, Chelmsford, Colchester, Grays Thurrock, Harlow, Loughton, South Benfleet, Southend on Sea and Wickford. Wherever in Essex you'll be hosting your event, we can arrange for a brilliant local harpist to come and serenade your guests.

Don't be fooled by the historical image this elegant instrument conjures up – while our Essex harpists are well trained in the stylings of Bach and Beethoven, they also
end their skills to more recent music. Their sets include various pop and rock hits from the 60s onwards, including many by the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and Bob Dylan, jazz standards by past masters like George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Louis Armstrong, and countless classic movie themes from I Will Always Love You, as sung by Whitney Houston for the film The Bodyguard, to the main themes from Disney's Aladdin and The Little Mermaid. There truly is something for everyone in our Essex harpists' repertoires, and each composition, old or new, is treated with as much delicate finesse as the last.

We at Bands for Hire pride ourselves on delivering a consistently enjoyable and helpful service to all our customers. Please get in touch with us with any queries, and we'll ensure your experience with us is as interesting and straightforward as possible.
