"Maria was incredible from start to finish. From the moment my bridal entrance began I felt so calm and ready. Maria had very kindly sent me a preview of it and she out did herself. My friends and family were blown away and I was brought to tears by the recordings she posted online too. So glad I have that to keep as little memory. Maria was so lovely making time to come see us before she left. Perfect professional! "

FAQs about hiring Wedding Harpists in Aberdeen

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

Is a harpist at a wedding reception worth it?

Harpists can be a great addition to any wedding reception, especially for couples who are looking for a warm, intimate feel.

Most importantly, they provide elegant background music for conversation and mingling, ensuring your guests can enjoy each other's company without being overwhelmed by loud music.

Does a harpist play in the background of the ceremony

Harpists are a popular choice for wedding ceremonies due to their romantic, gentle sound.

Whether you desire calming prelude music, a graceful processional piece, or a celebratory recessional tune, a harpist can provide it all.
