You can hire a harpist here for a wedding, a gala dinner, a corporate event, a product launch or a private party in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. The harpist plays the songs you choose, from classical pieces to pop and lounge tunes, at the moment you choose. Send us the date, the venue and what the music is for, and we send the harpists who are free, with videos and a price.

Price: the cost depends on the type of event, how long the harpist plays and the extras you add. There is no fixed list price, so you get a written quote for your date. See how much a harpist costs in Dubai.

DubaiHarpists.com books harpists and harp acts, nothing else. One team in Dubai handles your enquiry from the first message to the last song. More about us.

Why book a harpist

A harp changes the feel of a room without taking it over. Guests can still talk, yet they notice the music and come over to watch. It suits the quiet moments of an event: a wedding ceremony, a drinks reception, a dinner, a hotel lobby welcome. The harp also looks the part. A tall gold or white concert harp is a centrepiece in photos, so it is worth placing where guests arrive.

The harpists we book are trained musicians with years of experience at events in hotels and venues across the UAE. They play classical music, lounge and jazz tunes, and pop and contemporary songs, and they move between styles as the event changes.

Choose the format

Solo harpist. One harpist at a full size concert harp, seated, or with a lighter harp on a stand for a standing look. Right for ceremonies, receptions and dinners.

Harp duo or trio. The harp with a violin or a cello, or with both. Two harpists can also play together. See harp duo and trio.

Laser harp show. A show, not background music. Laser beams rise over the crowd, the performer plays them, and your logo can appear in the light. See laser harp show in Dubai.

Occasions

Weddings. Music for the ceremony, the drinks and the dinner, with your own song list. See wedding harpist in Dubai.

Corporate events and galas. Calm, elegant music for gala dinners, conferences, networking events and product launches. See corporate event harpist.

Private parties. Birthdays, anniversaries and themed parties at home or in a venue.

Your songs, your look

You choose the tracks. Send a list of the songs you love, and the harpist plans the set around your timings. You can also choose the costume from a selection of themes, so the harpist matches your colours or your theme. If the room is large or outdoors, the team sets up sound.

Classical pieces, lounge and jazz tunes, and pop or modern songs arranged for the harp. You choose the tracks, so the music fits your guests and the moment.

How much does a harpist cost in Dubai?

Yes. You pick the tracks the harpist plays. For a wedding, that covers the ceremony, the reception and any song you want for a special moment.

Can you add a violin or a cello?

Yes. A harpist can play with a violinist or a cellist as a duo, or as a trio with both.

Do you bring sound equipment?

The team can set up a sound system for the harpist when the room or the guest list needs it.
