The Harpist - Perfect for a wedding ceremony and drinks reception.

The dulcet tones of the harp can create a truly magical moment at a wedding or drinks reception. A typical Wedding ceremony package includes a half hour pre-ceremony recital as the guests assemble, the entrance of the bride, a signing of the register interlude and the exit of the wedding couple. Our excellent Harpist is also a trained classical singer, this makes her the ideal artist to have for your wedding celebrations. Although she does not sing at the same time as playing, she is always happy to incorporate any separate vocal items you might require. Why not have her sing and then play, combining her talents for your special day! Various packages available for ceremony, drinks and wedding breakfast.

At STYLISH we believe there is nothing like live musicians to bring something extra special to a party. Imagine the sound of Jazz floating in the air at a summer's drinks reception, or a soul-band belting out hits with a large brass section. For maximum effect, combine a great live band with a brilliant party DJ for the ultimate entertainment experience.
