Harpists in Durham
Wedding harpists in Durham
The harp is a classic choice for a wedding ceremony, and for good reason. In Durham, harpists create a calm, elegant atmosphere for the aisle, the signing and the drinks reception afterwards.
Durham has a wide choice of wedding venues, from South Causey Inn and Durham Castle to Beamish Hall Hotel. Our harpists travel to towns across the area, including Durham, Darlington and Bishop Auckland, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Bradbury Glade, Dalton Old Pump House and Ramside Hall Hotel, with details of each.
Harpists play a mix of classical repertoire and arrangements of pop, film and folk songs, so the music can be traditional or personal to you. Some play a full concert harp and others a smaller lever harp, which is easier to move between rooms.

A harp needs a flat, level space and shelter from sun, wind and rain. If your ceremony and drinks reception are in different places, tell us the timings so the harpist can plan the move between them.
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.
Rather than a generic demo, every act's page shows the performer you would be booking, with videos, audio, a repertoire list and reviews. Between them you can get a clear sense of the act well before the day.
Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.
