Harpists in Essex
Hire a harpist in Essex
A harpist brings a calm, elegant sound to the quieter parts of a wedding day. Across Essex, harpists play the walk down the aisle and the signing of the register, then carry on through the drinks reception while guests mingle.
Popular wedding venues in Essex include Mulberry House, Maidens Barn and Anne of Cleves Barn, and our harpists travel to weddings and events across Chelmsford, Colchester and Southend-on-Sea. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose an act that suits the space. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Great Lodge, Apton Hall and Vaulty Manor, 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 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.
Expect to pay from around £350 up to £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. Busy Saturdays in summer and December sit at the top of the range, and your quote shows exactly what's included.
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.
