The unique sight and sound of the harp will instantly add a touch of class and sophistication to any event. Its gentle, dulcet tones create a heavenly and sparkling atmosphere, perfect for weddings, parties, proposals, and more! Make your event stand out above the rest by including harp music as your entertainment.

"With many years of performance experience, I have a wide variety of repertoire that will provide something for everyone to enjoy. Whilst I am classically trained, I can perform the music of many different genres, including pop, jazz, contemporary, folk, religious, and traditional. You can find an extensive list of my repertoire further down the page. If you have any song requests – a special song for your bridal entry, for example – or if there is a song you would like that isn’t in my repertoire list, I am more than happy to arrange it for harp just for you! Be sure to mention this in your enquiry."

Jess Hughes - Harpist is a talented wedding musician based in Greater Manchester.
