Harpists in Worcestershire

Wedding harpists in Worcestershire

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

Across Worcestershire, harpists are booked for weddings and events in and around Worcester, Malvern and Redditch. Venues in the area include Redhouse Barn, Birtsmorton Court and The Wood Norton, each with its own ceremony rooms, lawns and reception spaces. Further down this page are more local venues, such as Eckington Manor, Abbey Hotel, Golf & Spa and Stanbrook Abbey Hotel, with details of each.

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.

Since 1999, Hireaband has matched couples with live entertainment for their wedding day. The harpists listed here all travel to Worcestershire, and the instant quote button shows pricing and availability in a few seconds.

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.

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.

“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!”

“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.”
