Reasons to Hire a Harpist

Interested in booking a harpist for a wedding or event? Here are several reasons why it’s a great choice

Harp adds instant elegance and a unique touch!

The aesthetics of having such a magnificent instrument at your venue immediately upgrades the experience. A concert grand harp is a wonder to behold, standing over 6 feet tall and weighing around 80 lbs. And when its 47 strings are plucked masterfully to play your favorite songs, it takes the event to new, unforgettable heights!


During weddings, the music and song length are tailored to your specific moment

A skilled harpist is trained to make the music last as short or long as needed. For example, wedding party a little nervous and get down the aisle very quickly? Not a problem, the harpist is able to smoothly end the musical phrase naturally.

Opposite problem and things are taking longer than planned? No worries, as the musician is able to smoothly repeat phrases and extend songs without a hitch!

This isn’t possible with recorded music, and it’s a huge benefit to make the day run as smoothly as possible!

Amazing versatility

Want classical music, pop, Celtic, or Broadway tunes? Maybe a mix of everything? How about hits from The Beatles or Beyoncé? It can all be played beautifully on the harp! The harpist works with the client to figure out song or genre choices, and then tailors them to each part of the event: pre-ceremony music as guests are being seated, processional, optional interlude, recessional, and optional cocktail hour.

The concert grand harp has a wide range of volume, and can be played as quietly as needed for the soft-spoken officiant or during an intimate dinner setting. Conversely, it can be played as loudly as needed for an outdoor 300 person wedding or large event. Amplification is also available when necessary. Clients and guests are often pleasantly surprised at how loud the harp can be when the situation calls for it!

Considering having a harpist for a funeral or memorial service?

Many people have remarked that harp music helps to soothe the grief and adds a sense of peacefulness to these difficult occasions.

Music is available pre-service, songs during the service as requested, and post-service.
