Harpists in Herefordshire

Wedding harpists in Herefordshire

The harp is a classic choice for a wedding ceremony, and for good reason. In Herefordshire, harpists create a calm, elegant atmosphere for the aisle, the signing and the drinks reception afterwards.

Herefordshire has a wide choice of wedding venues, from Glewstone Court and Brinsop Court to Eastnor Castle. Our harpists travel to towns across the area, including Hereford, Ledbury and Leominster, so the location of your venue won't limit your choice. You'll find more Herefordshire venues below, including Hampton Court Castle, Homme House and Lyde Arundel, each with its own page.

Many harpists arrange modern songs for the harp as well as playing classical pieces, so a favourite song can sound completely different, and entirely fitting, at a ceremony.

We've been booking wedding entertainment since 1999, and every harpist on this page covers Herefordshire. You can check your date and price straight away with the instant quote button.

The essentials:

  • Budget from around £350 to £900, depending on the act and the date
  • Book for the ceremony only, or for the ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast
  • Popular dates go months in advance
  • Everything included is listed in your quote
  • Change your mind within 14 days and get a full refund

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.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the wedding. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

“Declan Daniel was amazing, he was early and performed non-stop for the full slot. He was funny and kept everyone entertained. I would highly recommend him to others and would hire him again for future events.
The Hireaband team were helpful, friendly and kept in touch before the event and provided all the information we would require in case we needed it.
Highly recommend their services!”

“Declan was a breath of fresh air- not only was he professional but put us both at ease knowing that the music was in the best hands. We received loads of compliments about the ceremony and drinks reception music Declan played. He chatted away to some of our guests before he headed off which was lovely. Would recommend Declan 100% to anyone and only wish we had another event to book him for!”

“Hi. We would like to record our appreciation to Declan Daniel for the music he played at our wedding reception last Saturday. Many of the guests commented on the quality of his playing and there is no doubt that Declan's music added a very special ingredient to our special day. Please pass on our thanks and best wishes for his musical career. Many thanks also for a very efficient service. Best wishes”

“We just wanted to thank you so much for performing at our wedding. The guests raved about you and a couple have actually asked for your name! I personally heard the harp :) I opened the window and listened to you as the guests arrived and it sounded so magical! Your guitar talents are off the chart!
Thanks so much for making our wedding day so special.”

“Jennifer gave us an outstanding walking up the aisle song, which I had requested. Only wish I had got to hear her playing more song as oppose to spending 3 hours having photos taken! Thanks to all at hire a band.”

“Declan was absolutely fantastic. We had a zoom chat with him the week of the wedding and gave him a few ideas. Everyone on the day commented on how good he was. Kept all our guests entertained while we got our wedding photos taken too. The only bad thing was we never got to thank him in person before he left!
So thank you!”
