Engagement party Harpists for hire in Bedfordshire
Latest reviews of our Engagement Party Harpists in Bedfordshire
"Felicity was absolutely wonderful from start to finish and my only regret is that I didn’t have the chance to speak with her on the day. She played at my wedding to welcome in my guests and to accompany up and back down the aisle. Her playing was exquisite and I just wish we’d had her for longer. On top of that, she is such a lovely, warm person and from the moment we first connected to talk about the day I knew I was in safe hands. Communication was prompt and helpful. A joyful experience all round and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. I’ll be trying to think of other excuses to get her back for another event now!"
Sarah hired Felicity Meakins for a Wedding (available in Bedfordshire)
"Absolutely INCREDIBLE! Felicity played an amazing variation of songs - all of our guests loved her, & I would absolutely have her again! (Now thinking of ways I can have another event 🤣) She was lovely, professional, and communication was fantastic - prior to booking, Felicity answered all of my questions. I decided that we wanted her to be at our wedding for 4 hours, instead of the initial 2 I had requested, and as soon as I had put the 2nd enquiry through (a few days later) she immediately responded. This lady is gifted and was a beautiful addition to our wedding. Felicity - thank you so, so much for everything. You were truly wonderful "

What kind of music will a harpist perform?
Harpists usually play music from a large classical-style repertoire. However, many harpists will be able to play a selection of pop music as well. Make sure to let them know ahead of time what kind of music you'd like them to play and they'll be more than happy to accomodate you!
How much space will the harpist need to perform? Do I need to provide anything?
Harpists need an area of about 2m x 3m to perform in. You will also need to be provide adequate cover for them, to protect from the sun/rain - the surface should also be flat, firm, and dry. Grass is usually a no-no, so if they are to perform on grass, make sure a solid mat is handy. Wet harp = sad harpist.
I want a harpist to perform at my wedding: which parts of the wedding should they play?
Most commonly, harpists will perform during the following parts of the ceremony: seating of the guests, entrance of the bride, signing of the registry, and the walk-out. If you want the harpist to provide music for the reception, make sure you tell them well in advance if it's at a different venue - moving a harp at short notice ain't easy!
