Engagement party Harpists for hire in Scotland
Latest reviews of our Engagement Party Harpists in Scotland
"As Arts Coordinator at Carlisle Youth Zone I booked Sarah as part of a project to introduce young people to different types of music. She played the harp beautifully and engaged with the children really well. She was adaptable and friendly. Understanding the needs of the audience she turned the session into a ‘have a go’ experience which was brilliant. She was very generous with her time, staying longer than her booking to allow all the children to take part. I’m impressed and would be delighted to book her again."

"Sam agreed to play at our wedding at relatively short notice after my initial booking with another harpist fell through. I am so relieved that it did, because not only did Sam provide a first-class performance on the day (we never doubted that part for a second!) but she was regularly in touch with me prior to the ceremony so she could understand our wishes exactly. I was immediately impressed by Sam's catholic repertoire, from classical music to video game soundtracks. So excellent a harpist is Sam that my wife and I deliberately took our time signing the register, so we could appreciate the back-up song we'd asked Sam to play too! If you are in any doubt about who to choose for your special day, look no further than Sam. Sam, thank you so much for everything, and apologies for taking so long to get round to this review - long honeymoon! All the best, Sean & Laura"

FAQs about hiring Engagement Party Harpists in Scotland
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!
