Harpists in Blackpool

Wedding harpists in Blackpool

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

Whether your wedding is near Blackpool, Lytham St Annes and Fleetwood or further afield, the harpists here cover the whole of Blackpool. Local venues include The Norbreck Castle Hotel, Blackpool Tower Ballroom and Savoy Hotel, and it's worth checking with your venue where the music or entertainment will be set up. The Imperial Hotel, North Promenade, The Glass House at Staining Lodge and Village Hotel Club are among the other Blackpool venues listed further down, each with its own page.

The harp has a calm, clear sound that suits the quieter moments of a wedding: the walk down the aisle, the signing of the register and the first drinks afterwards, when guests are catching up.

Hireaband has been booking live entertainment for weddings since 1999. Every harpist listed here travels to Blackpool as standard, and the instant quote button on this page shows pricing and availability for your date.

The essentials:

  • Typical cost: £350 to £900, depending on how long they perform and the date
  • Your quote shows exactly what's included
  • Ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast packages available from many acts
  • Most couples book several months ahead, sooner for a summer Saturday
  • Every booking carries a 14-day change-of-mind refund

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.

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.

Use the instant quote button on this page to see prices and availability for your date. Once you've chosen an act, we handle the contract, the deposit and the arrangements, and stay in touch through to the day. Every booking includes a 14-day change-of-mind refund, and an emergency contact line is available on the day if anything needs sorting quickly.

“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!”

“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”
