UK Harpists  freephone 0800 458 0435

There is a wide choice of music available for the harp, much wider than most people realise. This year alone we have been playing everything from traditional folk tunes to Bach and Mozart, through to Led Zeppelin and Coldplay. Our aim is always to ensure that you will have the choice that you need to create . As we are trained professional musicians, we have the added value of being able to arrange pieces specifically for you. Some times our clients really do not know what they might like to walk down the aisle to, or a piece of music for signing the register. We are here to help with precisely that type of practical question and have put together a small selection of starting points here. The main thing for you to remember is always to ask us whether your particular favourites will work. It is not just about how to hire a harpist, our mission is to make your event magical, whatever your musical tastes.

Ceremony Music  falls into  three stages, your entrance, signing of  the register and exit. We can advise you on pieces for civil ceremonies and partnerships as well as church weddings. There is a wonderful variety of music for all. Our prime concern is always that your choice of music truly reflects the atmosphere that you want for your special day. It is all about YOU!

Exit Music or Recessional

This is where you can either stay with tradition or throw it to the wind. Here are just some ideas, ranging from the classical to the charts. The moment where you walk back through all your friends and family at the end of the ceremony is one you will never forget. The music that you walk back to is an important part of that experience. You may want to skip and cheer, or take your time and walk slowly to savour every second.

Reception and Parties

We can tailor the music for your reception to go right through from the first pop of the champagne cork, to the speeches at your wedding breakfast. The harp is an incredibly versatile instrument inside and outside, small gathering or huge reception. We can help you decide the mood you would like to create for each part of the proceedings. You can choose key pieces that you would like and we will make sure that the rest of the musical menu ties in with your themes. If you have no idea where to even start, we will help you to create the event of your dreams.
