Harpists for hire in Bath
Latest reviews of our Harpists in Bath
"Anna played at our wedding for the ceremony and the drinks reception and was absolutely fantastic. Her harp and the music she played was beautiful and everyone commented on how wonderful she was! Anna’s communication on the lead up to the day was brilliant, very punctual and we managed to get everything sorted to ensure that Anna could set her harp up in two separate locations. We were able to pick songs for both the ceremony and drinks reception which made it even more special. I walked down the aisle to Elvis Presley and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Having Anna play her beautiful harp at our wedding couldn’t have been more perfect, and to top it off, Anna couldn’t have been more lovely! Thanks so much Anna. Anyone looking to book Anna I would 100% highly recommend!! "

How long do harpists play for?
Harpists play for about 45-50 minutes, then take a 15-minute break to rest, drink water, and play beautiful music again. A harp performance often lasts two sets, or around two hours in total.
Would a harp suit my event?
Harpists are perfect for occasions (or portions of occasions) where you want live music but don't want it to be the main attraction. Wedding harpists are particularly common but the harp is also suited for corporate events and funerals/memorial ceremonies, typically as background music during the sections where visitors are chatting, such as drinks receptions.
Do harpists take requests?
Yes! Harpists enjoy adding new compositions to their repertoire, and if they can't find an arrangement, they will often compose one for your event. This may result in an additional fee for your booking, but it is definitely worth the extra cost to have such a unique form of party entertainment.
What types of music can harpists play?
Professional harpists are versatile musicians capable of playing a wide variety of music genres. While classical music is their forte, they can also perform contemporary, popular, and even experimental music. Classical harpists excel in Baroque, Romantic, and modern compositions, including works by renowned composers like Bach, Mozart, and Debussy.
