Harpists in York
Wedding harpists in York
The harp is a classic choice for a wedding ceremony, and for good reason. In York, harpists create a calm, elegant atmosphere for the aisle, the signing and the drinks reception afterwards.
Whether your wedding is near York, Selby and Tadcaster or further afield, the harpists here cover the whole of York. Local venues include Grays Court, The Hospitium and Villa Farm, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. Other venues in the area include Middlethorpe Hall, Bedern Hall and Merchant Adventurers' Hall, and each has its own venue page further down.
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.
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.
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.
