Carys hired Anna Purver for a Wedding (available 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! "

FAQs about hiring Engagement Party Harpists in Hereford
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
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!
