Harpists in Dorset
Hire a harpist in Dorset
Few instruments suit a wedding ceremony as well as the harp. In Dorset, harpists are booked for ceremonies, drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts, playing gentle classical pieces and harp arrangements of modern songs.
Across Dorset, harpists are booked for weddings and events in and around Bournemouth, Poole and Dorchester. Venues in the area include Deans Court Dorset, Hinton St Mary Estate and Studland Bay House, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. Hope Farm, Parley Manor and Symondsbury Tithe Barn are among the other Dorset venues listed further down, each with its own page.
The harp has a calm, clear sound that suits the quieter moments of a wedding: the walk down the aisle, the signing of the register and the first drinks afterwards, when guests are catching up.

A concert harp gives the fullest sound and suits a large ceremony room or church. A lever harp is smaller and lighter, which makes it easier to move from the ceremony to the drinks reception, and still sounds beautiful in most rooms.
Most harpist bookings fall between £350 and £900. A ceremony-only booking sits at the lower end, while a harpist covering the ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast sits towards the upper end. The date and time of year make up the rest of the difference, so a weekday or winter date can cost less than a summer Saturday.
Every act's page has video and audio of the performer you would actually book, along with their repertoire and written reviews from couples who have booked them. It's the easiest way to check the style and the sound before you commit.
The instant quote button gives you a price and availability for your date straight away. From there, we manage the contract and deposit and keep you updated until the day. Every booking is covered by a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and there's an emergency contact line on the day in case anything needs sorting.
