"Maxine played during our wedding ceremony and reception back in June. On such as hot day she played exceptionally well and all our guests were so complimentary of the music, it was so romantic and was such a good fit for our wedding venue! Maxine was so lovely, very punctual and good communication prior to the wedding, we had a call to discuss arrival times, seating availability, plans for if it's a hot/wet day, the songs to be played and when etc which put our minds at ease knowing Maxine knew exactly what we were envisioning and she executed the day amazingly, exceeding our expectations! A harpist is a beautiful addition to your wedding and we couldn't recommend Maxine more highly enough! Thank you again "

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. They can enchant listeners with Celtic tunes, Middle Eastern melodies, and Latin American folk songs.
