A professional harpist will typically charge a basic starting rate of £200 - £300 for the first hour, followed by a fixed rate for each additional hour. As a guide, you might expect to pay in the region of £400-£500 for a 3-hour booking to cover your wedding ceremony music and afternoon reception.

The ideal choice for background music, the harp offers a surprisingly diverse range for a solo instrument. Our harpists can turn their hands to anything from classical music, Celtic folk and operatic arias to jazz standards, Disney theme tunes and rock and pop music from the 1960s and beyond.

Our wedding harpists have an extensive repertoire of harp music available and can tailor their sets to more specific tastes if required.

If you have a special song in mind for your wedding ceremony or drinks reception, our harpists are usually more than happy to learn something just for you. Just let us know beforehand, and we'll check suitability.

The elegant and unintrusive sound of the harp is ideal for a range of events including weddings, ceremonies, champagne receptions, welcome drinks, dinners and corporate events.

A wedding harpist is the ideal choice for a wedding ceremony, background music as guests arrive, canapes, and the wedding breakfast.

The harp is a fairly large instrument at approximately 1 meter wide. With this in mind, we recommend reserving around 2 x 2 meters to allow sufficient performance space.

Most harpists are happy to perform outside under the appropriate conditions. We politely request that a small gazebo or large umbrella is provided to protect the harpist from unexpected rain and direct sunlight, which can damage the harp.

Your harpist will also need a hard, flat surface to transport their harp and perform on.

Whilst the harp is highly popular as a solo instrument, many of our harpists also perform alongside other instrumentalists for a fuller and more varied sound. Popular harp duo options include adding a cello, clarinet, or flute. Just let us know what you're looking for, and we'll provide some suitable options.
