Elinor Harp

Information For Elinor Harp

If you are looking to set an elegant ambience, then the harp is the perfect instrument to elevate your special day. I am experienced wedding musician and have performed throughout the country at some of the UK's most spectacular venues.

Whilst I am classically trained, and have a wealth of repertoire that will suit traditional tastes, I regularly receive compliments for my contemporary repertoire. My song list is entirely devised from
arrangements that I have created by listening to a song and then transcribing the sheet music by ear. I take a lot of care and consideration when learning new songs, and I pride myself in creating arrangements that both captures the character of the song and also sounds idiomatic on the harp.

The majority of the songs in my repertoire are timeless staples that will be forever popular. However, I realise that for many couples, the songs that are most significant are often undiscovered gems. With this in mind, I take requests to learn new songs to ensure that every wedding is as personal as possible.

I understand that planning a wedding can be a busy time, but I aim to make the booking process as simple as possible. When sending an
enquiry, please include the date of your wedding, the address of your venue, and approximate timings (if possible). If you have any special requests please include them in your enquiry. Once I receive this
information I will then be able to provide a quote for your special day.

Elinor Harp at a Glance

Price Range

£250 - £1000

The harp is the perfect instrument for weddings- soft enough that your guests can still hear each other while chatting, but the harp has a uniquely beautiful timbre that creates a magical ambience anywhere. I can provide music for your ceremony, drinks reception and wedding breakfast. I've got over 200 songs on my repertoire list, and I take requests! I'm really proud to work in the wedding industry. Every wedding takes an immense amount of planning, and I feel really privileged to be a part of so many couples' special day. I am based in Manchester, but I can travel throughout Lancashire, Cheshire, Yorkshire and Derbyshire for your wedding. I can play acoustically (suitable for weddings up to 60 guests) or for an extra fee I can boost the sound with amplification.
