Latest reviews of our Harpists in Hereford
"We're so glad we found Erica! Listening to her recordings here on Encore, we loved her performances and especially loved the range of nerdy video game/film scores that she had in her repertoire. We ended up requesting a selection of nerdy songs and it was fantastic that Erica was able to add some new ones to her repertoire for us - as the bride, I'm so excited to hear the full performance through Erica's recording of the pieces - quite envious that my husband got to enjoy them all live! Erica also brought to life one of my wedding dreams - walking down the aisle to Romantic Flight by John Powell. What I heard while my bridesmaids went ahead was absolutely dreamy. Despite all the warnings, I didn't go as slow as I wanted and we didn't get to hear the whole piece - brides, listen when they say go slow! So that's my only regret, and it was entirely my fault! And another reason I'm so excited to have the recordings to listen back to and re-live the special memories. Erica responded to all our messages so fast and was able to give really excellent advice. I can't recommend her enough - especially if you are into nerdy music! "

Morwenna hired Erica Sinclair for a Wedding (available in Hereford)
"I just want to take this opportunity to thank Erica for playing so beautifully at our church ceremony. We have had so many comments on the harp music in the church and how it added an extra special feel. Erica was so responsive whenever I had a question she went above and beyond by even recording a practise track so we could hear our aisle song - she also learnt this song especially for us which is something I will always appreciate. I would recommend Erica to anyone looking for harp player and would absolutely use her again! Thank you so much Erica xx"

FAQs about hiring Harpists in Hereford
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
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. Additionally, harpists can arrange and perform traditional folk music from various cultures, showcasing the harp's adaptability to diverse musical traditions.
