Harpists in Gloucestershire

Wedding harpists in Gloucestershire

A harpist brings a calm, elegant sound to the quieter parts of a wedding day. Across Gloucestershire, harpists play the walk down the aisle and the signing of the register, then carry on through the drinks reception while guests mingle.

Popular wedding venues in Gloucestershire include Owlpen, Lapstone Barn and Manor By The Lake, and our harpists travel to weddings and events across Cheltenham, Gloucester and Stroud. Tell us your venue when you enquire and we'll help you choose an act that suits the space. Elmore Court, Tortworth Court and Oxleaze Barn are among the other Gloucestershire venues listed further down, each with its own page.

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.

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

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.

Prices usually start from around £350 and go up to £900 or so. 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. Your quote shows the full price for your date, so you can compare acts on the same basis.

Each act's page carries real video and audio, a repertoire list and reviews from previous clients. Watching a couple of clips tells you far more than any description can, so it's worth listening before you choose.

Enter your date and venue in the instant quote button for live pricing and availability. After you book, we look after the contract, deposit and details, and keep in touch right up to the wedding. You also get a 14-day change-of-mind refund and an emergency contact number to use on the day.

“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.”

“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!”
