A harp playing at the ceremony

Hire how long is she playing for? We're hiring a harpist to play at our ceremony and wedding breakfast and we're paying £400 (we're getting married in Surbiton, London).

Not sure if this helps!

She said for 2 hours so maybe that's not a bad price, i only really want it for the ceremony and not that fussed about the wedding breakfast.

thanks anyway x

I had a Harp and flute duo play in the church and then they also played through the wedding breakfast (5 hours worth I think) and it really was amazing. It sounded so beautiful. They were £400 for it all but that was in Wales.

I would say it's a reasonable price

I have looked into various solo musicians and the going rate seems to be anything from £200-£500.

PS is it just me or is the font in the OP really hard to read?

That's brilliant, thanks for your help and opinions x

I had a harpist at my ceremony, although this was in Sydney, so the prices arent comparable. She had a min 2hrs booking time. As the reception was very near the chapel, she continued playing there whilst the guests had drinks & canapes (before the DJ started).

Check whether you have to book a min amount of hours, & if so, get your moneys worth like I did.

We're having a harpist play at ceremony & drinks reception for £250 so this seems reasonable to me

Ditto. having dirnks reception and ceremony inc travel and its £250
