how much for a harpist?

crystal_fire

I originally wanted a steel drum player but it seems you can't just have one or two you have to hire the whole band!

My friend said her cousin had a harpist a few years ago but cant remember how much it cos her as it was so long ago!

Does anyone have a vague idea? I looked on the internet but i keep getting harp lessons !

Thanks in advance

My friend was quoted £200-300 too, she got married last November and this was in the South East. x

mine is costing £250 for an hour - half an hour before the wedding and when i walk up the aisle and when we are signing the register.

bride on a budget, either you are getting an excellent deal or i am getting ripped off!! how many hours did you have your harpist for?!?!?

our harpist played for around 3 hours for £275, from before the ceremony,walking down the aisle, after the ceremony during drinks, and during the meal. she left at around 6 oclock.
we are in the south west so i dont know if that changes anything, but i deal with a lot of wedding musicians and they all seem to charge the same amount for 3 hours . between £250 and £380.

I was looking over the last couple of days and found a few listed on Gumtree. One was in the Bristol area and quoted £65 per hour.
