No Notes - Perfection!
Shelley was absolutely incredible. We are so lucky to have found her for our wedding ceremony. We held our wedding at Granite Links and had a very large bridal party. Shelley played romantic and fun harp tunes while guests arrived. When it was time to walk down the aisle, Shelley and a violinist performed a ballad version of "Dance with Somebody" which was incredible. She also learned a special song for the bridal entrance from the musical "Hadestown" without hesitation. Shelley always said yes and was extremely organized when planning. She made us feel very comfortable and well taken care of. The ceremony was our favorite part of the day and she helped to make it so. If you are in need of live musicians for your big day, look no further. We are so grateful for her talent, musicality and kind nature. Thank you for being such an important part of our love story!

5 Stars Just Aren't Enough!
I truly couldn't imagine our wedding ceremony without Shelley. Her music was absolutely beautiful and created such a romantic and elegant atmosphere—it just elevated the entire experience. So many of our guests told us how much they loved the harp and how special it made the moment feel. She was professional, kind, and of course, incredibly talented. I couldn't recommend her more! Her performance was unforgettable, and we’re so grateful she was a part of our day!

Amazing Harpist!
Shelley was an incredible addition to our wedding. We knew we wanted to have a harpist for our ceremony and we didn't have to look hard once we found Shelley. She was incredibly professional and willing to learn a new song on the harp to perform for our ceremony. We had her perform solo for our cocktail hour as well. She was so open to our choices and was helpful through the entire process. Our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about her playing. My husband and I could not recommend her more!

Shelley played for our cocktail hour and ceremony. She was literally amazing and made that moment so special. Everyone loved her and even one of my friends getting married loved her so much she ended up booking her. She gets back to you right away and goes above and beyond! Highly recommend :)
Shelley Otis's reply:
Thanks Brianna! You have been so nice to work with, and I really enjoyed putting together the music for your ceremony & cocktail hour. Thanks for connecting me with your friend too!

Wedding ceremony musician of my dreams!
Shelley played during our ceremony and cocktail hour and was absolutely incredible! She was one of the easiest vendors to work throughout our wedding planning process - which we appreciated so much! She was incredibly responsive and courteous. We had selected a harp and violin duo and I almost couldn’t believe what I was hearing was real when I was walking down the aisle. Just incredible! Could not recommend Shelley enough!!!
Shelley Otis's reply:
Thanks Yasmin! Your wedding was stunningly beautiful, from the decor and the amazing ballroom and the beautiful cake. It was a pleasure to be a part of it...thank you for having us!
Wishing you both much happiness in the years to come!

Shelley was amazing to work with! I am so so happy that we found her! We booked her and a violinist to play our ceremony music. The music was absolutely beautiful and filled the whole space. It definitely set the tone for a very beautiful and romantic ceremony. I’ll never forget the music as I walked down the aisle! Thank you Shelley!

A wonderful way to elevate your wedding!
Shelley was so wonderful to work with. She played harp at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in November 2023. Meeting with her was always such a delight and she was so easy to work with! We were able to select two songs she would learn to make our wedding day that much more special!
If you want to elevate your wedding and make it even more elegant I would highly recommend Shelley, you won’t regret it!!
Shelley Otis's reply:
Thanks for the kind words Mat! I really enjoyed working with you both, and I loved learning your song. It is a great addition to my repertoire :-) Your wedding was beautiful...thanks for having me be a part of it!

The best harpist we could ask for!
Shelley was the harpist that played at our wedding ceremony. She was absolutely incredible on the day and played beautifully. Even months before the ceremony, she was approachable, kind, patient, flexible, and easy to work with. She listened to what we had wanted for the music and absolutely delivered. She even learned a new song for our ceremony and and it was the best arrangement we had ever heard of the song. She is incredibly talented and just so kind and caring. We could not have had a better experience with Shelley!
Shelley Otis's reply:
Thank you Mike! I'm so glad you liked the music. I enjoyed putting together the songs for your ceremony, and I had a lot of fun creating the arrangement of that song. I play it all the time now! Thanks for the great addition to my repertoire :-)
Wishing you both much happiness in the years to come!

Exquisite Wedding Ceremony Harpist!
I would use Shelley again in a heartbeat. She was easy to work with, very communicative, flexible, patient, and professional. I was able to email back and forth easily about the music I wanted, the format of the ceremony, and the structure. Since it was a Catholic ceremony she had to work with a cantor and an organist - she did so seamlessly. I had barely anytime to interact with her. But, she made a point to say hello and congratulations before departing. It was a great relief to know a qualified professional, who required little to no hand-holding, could come in and take care of business. And, that is exactly what she did!
Shelley Otis's reply:
Thank you Olivia! This really means a lot to me. I really enjoyed working with you and putting together the music with the organist and cantor (who were fabulous by the way.) Your wedding ceremony was so beautiful--thanks for having me be a part of it!

Beautiful Wedding Harp Music
Shelley’s music was one of my absolute favorite parts of the wedding! I loved how she played both classical and modern music on her harp. It sounded so beautiful while I was walking down the aisle and entertained all during cocktail hour. She was also extremely responsive and even sent samples of songs to help us decide. You won’t regret having Shelley play at your wedding!

Magical, beautiful, best day ever!
Shelley played the harp at my ceremony and cocktail hour at the Omni Parker House in August 2023. To say that she created the most magical vibe and ambiance is an understatement. She even learned two new songs for me including “A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton and “Beautiful Day” by Josh Radin. Working with Shelley was so easy and stress free. I am so happy she was able to attend our special day. I would highly highly highly recommend her!
Shelley Otis's reply:
Hi Kelly, thanks so much for the kind words! I absolutely love how "Thousand Miles" turned out on the harp, and "Beautiful Day" as well. I've played both of them at almost every gig since your wedding! Thanks for having me be a part of your special day. Wishing you both much happiness in the years to come!

A highlight of our wedding day
We are SO happy we found Shelley -- she and her colleague Fabio made our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour incredibly special. Shelley and Fabio played a harp and cajon/percussion combo for our day, which so perfectly encapsulated who we are are a couple ("sophisticated spice!"). All of our guests loved the fun elegance that the music brought to our day. Shelley and Fabio learned two songs for our that made our ceremony so personal: "Backpocket" by Vulfpeck and "Dos Oruguitas" from the Encanto soundtrack. Both songs sounded incredible and brought tears to our eyes.
Shelley is responsive, an excellent communicator, and perfectly delivers the vibe you envision for your day. We were a mixed-ethnicity wedding (Latine + white) and she and Fabio played a great combination of Latin- and pop-based songs. Apart from getting married, Shelley and Fabio were easily one of the top highlights of our wedding day. I strongly recommend Shelley Otis and her team for your wedding or event.
Shelley Otis's reply:
Thank you so much Nicole! Fabio and I had a lot of fun putting the music together for your wedding. It was such a beautiful day—the city skyline in the background of the ceremony, the way the sun peeked out during the ceremony, the beautiful flowers, the warmth between you both and your families…it was all such a beautiful moment. Thanks for having us be a part of it!

Made our wedding day
Shelley was the cherry on top of our entire wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. The soft and elegant sound of her music really made our ceremony. I have had so many guests compliment the live music, and say what a difference it makes (compared to a DJ with speakers) when the bride is walking down the aisle. It creates this intimacy that is unmatched. I remember feeling so nervous during the ceremony, standing in front of all of our guests, but Shelley's soft harp music in the background completely grounded me, and I found myself listening to her music every time I felt nervous. After the ceremony, Shelley seamlessly began playing fun upbeat jazz music for our cocktail hour, which I found to be so much fun and really create that easy and relaxed vibe after the "I do" that we were going for. In addition to the harp just being absolutely amazing, Shelley was also so fun and easy to work with. She is one of the most centered and calm people I've ever met, and definitely a personality that I needed on my team as the big day grew closer and the stress increased. Her communication is excellent, and she has the ability to put all of the jumbled ideas into a solid plan by using her knowledge, experience, and creativity. I recommend Shelley 110%, this is definitely a service to include in your wedding; it's a small touch that makes a WORLD of difference on your big day.
Shelley Otis's reply:
Thank you so much! Reading this made my week! I’ve really enjoyed working with you. I’m so happy that my music created the vibe you were looking for in both the ceremony and cocktail hour, and I’m glad I was able to contribute to your wedding team and help the day go smoothly :-)
Wishing you both much happiness in the years to come!

A beautiful addition to your ceremony
Shelley was absolutely wonderful to work with from beginning to end. She is kind, professional and so very talented. The guests raved about her music she performed during our ceremony.

The perfect addition to our wedding
Choosing Shelley to perform at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. If you are thinking about it, just do it! Her musical talent is absolutely incredible, she’s a joy to work with, and she’s extremely organized in her planning and communication leading up to the wedding. My only regret on my wedding day was that I was not able to spend more time listening to her play. Luckily I spent a lot of time on her website/YouTube channel leading up to the wedding listening to all of her music. Our guests raved about her! She also provided our ceremony microphone/sound system for our officiant, which was so helpful for our outdoor ceremony. I can’t recommend Shelley enough!
Shelley Otis's reply:
💕 Thank you for the kind words Lauren! You have been a joy to work with as well. Your wedding was beautiful—your vows had me almost in tears and the lake behind created such a peaceful setting. Thanks for having me be a part of it. Wishing you both all the best in the world!

Such a magical touch to a wedding!
Shelley brought such a beautiful and magical sound to our wedding. She did not hesitate to learn a special song that we had requested to walk down the aisle to. She is incredibly communicative, talented, friendly, and professional. We are so grateful we decided to hire her to play for our wedding ceremony and our cocktail hour!!! Our guests absolutely raved about her.
Shelley Otis's reply:
Thank you Eleanor! You have been a pleasure to work with. I really enjoyed learning that song too. It translates really well to harp and has become one of my favorites to play. Thanks for having me be a part of your special day and thanks for adding a great song to my repertoire too!

One of my favorite parts of our wedding day
I was so excited when we hired Shelley - she was one of our first vendors! When I imagined walking down the aisle, I envisioned a harp playing. Shelley made this dream a reality and truly created a magical atmosphere during the ceremony and cocktail hour. She even learned a new song just for us, and had so much music to choose from on her page. Working with her was completely seamless, and we couldn’t be happier. Her pricing is very fair and she is a true professional. Very flexible and kind. We would 100% reccommend to anyone getting married to book Shelley right away. Thank you so so much, Shelley. We are so grateful we got to work with you!
Shelley Otis's reply:
Courtney, thank you so much for the kind words! You have been an absolute pleasure to work with. I really enjoyed learning the Tina Turner song—it was fun to translate it to the harp and I really like how it sounds. I’ve been playing it a lot since then. Thanks for adding a great song to my repertoire! And thank you for having me be a part of your wedding day. Wishing you both all the best!

Shelley was amazing to work with. We booked her in early 2020 but due to Covid had to hold off until 2022. Shelley was responsive and great to work with throughout the long wait.

Exquisite musician, delightful professional, wedding must-have!
We absolutely loved having Shelley play at our ceremony and cocktail hour at Blithewold (Bristol, RI). The music was absolutely exquisite, perfect, and magical. We loved how the sound of the harp carried through the gardens, and the music during cocktail hour was both whimsical and cozy. Shelley was wonderful to work with: very responsive, organized, and eager to make the experience perfect for us. She was very attentive to our guidelines for type of music and she was happy to learn a new piece for us. The beautiful sound of her harp was the perfect classical and jazz accompaniment to our magical day and working with her was pleasure. We highly recommend Shelley!
Shelley Otis's reply:

Shelley's music added a wonderful touch and created a meaningful wedding day!
It was a pleasure to have Shelley play during our small outdoor wedding. She was happy to learn 2 new compositions on the harp for our entrance and exit ("When the Stars go Blue" and "I Will Follow You Into the Dark"), and arranged them spectacularly. All our guests commented on how beautiful her music was, and it really made the day! Shelley also offered excellent suggestions, including playing "Erev Shel Shoshanim" during our ring exchange, and gorgeous classical compositions during photo sessions. We highly recommend her to anyone wanting beautiful harp music that will be remembered for a lifetime.
Shelley Otis's reply:
Thank you for the kind words Eli! I really enjoyed getting to know both of you, and it was fun to put the music together for your wedding. And I really liked learning both of those songs. I’m glad you had me be a part of your wedding. Wishing you both all the best!

Beautiful Harp Music
Shelley added the most elegant touch to our special day! Professional and a pleasure to work with!
Her sound was beautiful and clear both outside for the ceremony and inside for cocktail hour. Guests of all ages enjoyed her wide range of genres and artists.
If you debating adding live music to your wedding or next event: it’s so worth it!!!
Shelley Otis's reply:
Thank you for the kind words Meghan! I really enjoyed working with you and I am happy that I could contribute to your wedding. Wishing you both all the best!

Simply Fabulous!
Shelley performed at my daughter's wedding this past weekend and I there simply is not enough space provided here to express how truly wonderful she is! She worked with my daughter and son-in-law to shape a playlist early on. She not only played what they wanted but made perfect suggestions, which included Cami a wonderful violinist! As I told Shelley, music for me sets the tone, the mood and her music is just magical! Thank you so much for being a part of our memories!
Shelley Otis's reply:
You are most welcome Amelia! I really enjoyed working with your daughter and son-in-law, and it meant a lot to me to be a part of their wedding day. Cami and I had a lot of fun playing music at the reception and we're glad that you enjoyed it!

Absolutely perfect!
We were so lucky to have Shelley be a part of our special day! Leading up to the wedding, she was super communicative and helped us in creating and customizing a music setlist for both our ceremony and cocktail hour. She has the sweetest, warmest energy and is wildly talented -- her music truly made for such a memorable and special ceremony. So many of our guests came up to us at different points to let us know how much they enjoyed her music. I can't recommend her enough!!
Shelley Otis's reply:
Thank you for the kind words Julianne! I’m glad everyone enjoyed the music. It was such a beautiful day and lovely setting. Thank you for having me be a part of it!

A Beautiful, Elegant Touch to Our Ceremony
We were so lucky to have Shelley at our wedding. She’s an incredibly talented harpist, and a very kind person. Our guests told us they were tearing up before the ceremony even started because of her music alone.
I can’t imagine we were the easiest wedding she’s ever done, as we were planning it during COVID and had a lot of our own ideas for the music we wanted to hear. Shelley was patient and flexible with us the entire time, and we were so impressed by the songs she learned just for our ceremony.
We highly recommend working with Shelley (and listening to her music on Spotify)!
Shelley Otis's reply:
Thank you so much Tom! I really enjoyed putting together the music for your wedding. The songs you chose were interesting and fun for me to arrange and play. The Anastasia song is beautiful on the harp and is one I’ll definitely be using more. Wishing you both much happiness in this next step of your life together!

Absolutely wonderful!
Shelley was absolutely wonderful from the very start. She was so easy to work with and made sure that everything was just perfect for our special day. She has a great list of songs she can play and was open to learning new songs that we had requested. We had to change things up for our wedding into a smaller ceremony this year due to Covid, but she was there with us through it all and helped relieve a lot of stress!
Shelley Otis's reply:
Thank you for the kind words Nicole! I'm so glad I could be a part of your wedding. I really enjoyed meeting and working with both of you!! Wishing you both much happiness!

I can't say enough of Shelley, she was so sweet and fun to work with, she was very accommodating with our venue and music choices. She was very professional and such a lovely lady. I enjoyed having her music at our ceremony so so much!, received tons of complements. It just took our ceremony experience to another level, unforgettable...

Perfection!
We were lucky enough to have Shelley play our wedding ceremony music, and she was my favorite part of our day! Shelley is so talented - she played absolutely beautifully and added such a special touch to the ceremony. Our guests were so impressed, and so were we. Shelley was so easy to work with, very responsive, and great with communication during the planning process. Thank you Shelley!
Shelley Otis's reply:
You are most welcome Haley! I really enjoyed being a part of your wedding. I loved being up on the mountain, and the view created such a beautiful backdrop for your ceremony, especially the way the sun was shining on you both as you said your vows. Thanks for having me be a part of your day :-)

Elegance, Delight, and Joy
Pre-covid, Shelley was not one of our original vendors, but if there was good to come out of covid, it was in being able to hire Shelley for our intimate wedding! When we first hired Shelley, we thought we only needed music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. When we changed our plans (again) to have a full ceremony and reception for 30 people, Shelley seamlessly worked with us not only to learn two new songs, but to add a violinist and percussionist to our day to make sure all our needs were covered (and Cami and Fabio were truly fabulous)!
Shelley's music is beautiful. She has an astounding repertoire of music that was nothing short of delightful on our wedding day. Shelley moved effortlessly from playing songs like Hallelujah during our ceremony (for which there wasn't a dry eye in the house) to playing Taylor Swift cover songs (which had everyone in awe, giggling, and bopping around). We, our families, and our guests were nothing short of thrilled by the music that Shelley provided - she added such joy, elegance, and wonder to our celebration. At the end of the evening, Shelley asked us if she could play one more song, as if there was any chance in the world that we wouldn't want to hear more from Shelley! One of my favorite memories of the day was dancing with my family to that last song.
Working with Shelley was easy - she is compassionate and passionate about what she does. We requested a recording of our first dance song so we could practice, and Shelley got us the most beautiful recording in ONE DAY. Not only that, Shelley told us that what she gave us was a rough copy - it was beautiful and I am dying to have other recordings from Shelley. Any wedding would be that much better with Shelley, and I am forever grateful that we were gifted the chance to work with her and to have her music surrounding us throughout our day.
Shelley Otis's reply:
Avery, thank you so much for all the kind things you said! I’m so happy that you liked the music. You were a pleasure to work with, and I—we—had a lot of fun putting together the music for each segment of your wedding. I loved it when you all started dancing. There’s nothing else that tells a musician better that people are enjoying the music. I wish you both much happiness. Thanks for having us be a part of your day!!

Working with Shelley was such a pleasure and a breeze! She is incredibly talented and really wants to make your day extra special. After my initial meeting with Shelley, it was a no brainer to hire her. We had no idea what kind of music we wanted and she gave us so many selections, even offering to learn music if we didn’t like any of it. She was able to play our selection of music throughout our ceremony. Extra props to her as our wedding day was incredibly hot and you wouldn’t have even noticed looking at her. Thank you for being a part of our day Shelley - we couldn’t recommend you enough!!!

The Perfect Soundtrack
Shelley was an amazing ceremony musician for us. From our first meeting, where she brought a travel harp and played any song from her list that we wanted to hear, to her samples online, she gave us great ways to envision what our wedding day would sound like. She also learned a new song for us! She was very easy to work with and professional leading up to and on the day of our wedding. We highly recommend Shelley!

Want a magical ceremony? Hire Shelley to play the music.
There is no one like Shelley. Not only is she an extremely talented musician, she is incredibly kind and warm. We were so lucky that Shelley wasn't booked on our wedding date as we decided to add live music to our ceremony fairly last minute. The harp is such a beautiful and slightly unusual instrument. I can honestly say, it truly made our ceremony one of a kind.
I approached Shelley with two ideas:
1. My husband really likes a song called "Is and Is and Is" by White Denim (definitely an untraditional choice) and I thought it would be a fun tune for him to walk down to. Despite never hearing the song before, Shelley embraced the challenge and created such a fun arrangement for us!
2. I got the idea of singing during my ceremony and Shelley was on board right away. She played a stunning, slowed down version of "I Choose You" by Sara Bareilles to accompany me. She was even willing to transpose the song to a different key that worked better for my vocal range. I was nervous (nearly chickened out several times!) but I did it, all thanks to Shelley's calm, encouraging presence. It was an amazing experience.
My husband and I are beyond appreciative of Shelley's hard work and could not recommend her enough. Book her! People won't stop coming up to you to tell you how much they loved her music, even months after your wedding.

Elegant addition to our ceremony!
My husband and I hired Shelley to play our ceremony in Providence RI. From our first email exchange she was very kind and professional. She is very talented and has an impressive list of songs she can play on her website. Everything she played for us sounded gorgeous. Her rendition of 'Going to California' was a guest favorite! Even if you are hiring a DJ for your reception (like we did) I highly recommend hiring Shelley for your ceremony or even cocktail hour. Her music will provide an elegant touch to your wedding and I think her fee is extremely reasonable!

Created the Most Amazing Memory For Us
Shelley was amazing! First of all, her prices are very reasonable and were perfect for our ceremony needs. We hired her for our ceremony, only.
What she was really extraordinary at was creating the perfect song for my aisle walk. My husband and I are huge Wu-Tang fans and, probably a year before, we sent her CREAM and asked if she could turn the into into a harp version. I am telling you, she is the reason that moment will be cemented in our memory forever as pure elation. I wasn't nervous or shaking once I heard her transition into CREAM and my husband and I grinned at each other as I walked down.
We chose a selection of other songs for the period while guests sat and our outro and it was beautiful - her harp is loud and the perfect background music.
Beyond her talent, she was very easy to communicate with and so incredibly friendly. I'd recommend her above all other musicians for ceremony music!

Best experience!
Shelley was amazing to work with and she did an amazing job with the ceremony!!!! Even more amazing was how flexible she was, last minute we were looking for someone for cocktail hour and she told us she even played piano. She was one of the best vendors we worked with. The first harpist we had cancer and it was the best thing that could have happened!

Excellent!! Love her!!
Shelly was a breeze to work with. I wanted a harpist during our brunch reception to add to the ambiance of the space and Shelly is a wonderful harpist. We chose a mixture of pop and classical tunes since we knew that would be a good fit for our crowd. And she delivered! We truly enjoyed listening and for myself as the bride, having a harpist at my wedding was one of the most important details for me. I am so grateful that she could make it work (and we booked her literally a week before our wedding!!) She has wonderful energy about her and was happy to work with our needs. I don't need to recommend anyone other than Shelly!

Lovely and unique touch
We hired Shelly for our daughter's wedding in August. It was a garden wedding and the added touch of the harp was perfect. Shelley was wonderful to work with - she went to great lengths to determine our taste in music and put together the most perfect song list for such an important day. I compared many harpists, and Shelley's music was more than I could have hoped for - very current and so beautiful. She also had to move from the outdoor garden setting we had planned, due to rain, to a spot inside. She made the experience for our guests, one to remember. Shelley is very professional and wonderfully kind and accommodating. If you are looking to add an affordable touch of class to your day, I highly recommend her and her beautiful array of music. Whatever your tastes are, she will find the perfect songs for you. It's the added touches that make a memorable day.

Shelley performed elegantly during our wedding precession and recession. Despite the cold winds that day, Shelley did an amazing job and really wowed our large audience. Her song list is very extensive and she is willing to learn new music. She can be easily contacted and is quite helpful in the upcoming months. We really enjoyed her being a part of our day.

Graceful, poised and talented
Shelley was one of the nicest strangers I've ever met. During our planning, we had a slight hiccup with the officiant and she was more than flexible and adjusted to all of the changes with grace. She played beautiful music and every one of my guests thought she was classy and well-composed. I wish I could do this all over again! Thank you Shelley!

Shelley is a true professional.
I was waiting to review Shelley until I received my wedding video back so I could replay our ceremony OVER AND OVER AND OVER but I just couldn't wait to share how amazing Shelley was throughout the entire process. From the first conversation, she was more than willing and able to help our ceremony be just as magical and special as my husband and I imagined. She went above and beyond for us. We went back and forth on email and even at the very last minute, I added a third musician! Shelley didn't even blink and made it happen. They were beautifully positioned and dressed at the ceremony. We were able to chat briefly before the ceremony and then after, she came up to me to make sure we had a nice connection. Walking down the isle, I blacked out but before the ceremony I could hear them playing and it was just beautiful! I highly recommend Shelley and anyone she recommends to make it a beautiful moment for you and your groom. She is a lovely person and that shows through her demeanor and music. It was very special. Thank you Shelley.

Shelley was so amazing from start to finish. Her repertoire of songs was outstanding and she even learned a new song just for us. We knew we were going to be in good hands and that people would enjoy the music the moment we first met via FaceTime. Shelley was super flexible and made everything work even with our last minute changes. Thanks for making our wedding such a memorable occasion.

Hands down the easiest vendor we worked with!
While planning our wedding, we knew from the start that we wanted a harpist to play our ceremony. When we received the list of musicians from our venue, Shelley immediately stood out to us. Her music is beautiful. She was hands down the easiest vendor we worked with. She provided us with a list of songs she’s played in the past and even offered to learn a new song for us, if we had anything specific in mind. The variety of music on her list blew us away! You simply cannot go wrong with Shelley as your musician.

Shelley was so easy to work with! She sounded absolutely amazing during the ceremony and cocktail hour; we received so many compliments from our guests! She gave such a romantic feel to the rustic venue and really helped tie everything together, especially for the ceremony. Her version of "Here comes the sun" by the Beatles will make you tear as well as Canon in D! I highly recommend Shelley, you won't be disappointed!

Words cannot describe what a pleasure it was to work with Shelley. She played the harp during our ceremony and brought to life our wedding vision, making our outdoor ceremony absolutely enchanting. Her musicality, professionalism, genuine heart, and humble nature are what make Shelley a master of her craft and a true joy to be around. Shelley is a talented musician with a true passion for what she does, and has such a rich repertoire from pop music, jazz, and classical. The first time we met, Shelley talked us through all the details, and also listened to our needs and requests. She is prepared and thorough, patient and understanding , and knows that each wedding is unique. With all of the emotions of the day, I only wish I were able to sit in the audience and enjoy her playing as a guest :)

Shelley was amazing from start to finish. I booked her relatively early in my planning process due to her great reviews. It ended up being a wonderful choice. Shelley performed a mix of contemporary and classic songs during our ceremony prelude, processional, and recessional, and she executed each piece flawlessly. Her timing was perfect. She helped us choose the music and was professional, responsive, and friendly from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Shelley was beyond amazing! First and foremost, listening to her play the harp is stunning. We loved having her for our ceremony and cocktail hour music. She was able to transform a fast song into a slow version of itself as a request from us, as well as learn an entirely new song that she had never played before. She sent us a recording of it prior to our big day to make sure we were 100% satisfied. We were 200% satisfied! We just wish we could have heard more of her playing at cocktail hour instead of taking photos! She is easy to correspond with and very reasonably priced given her amazing talent and professionalism.

Shelley played the harp at my daughter's large, formal wedding in 2015. We were so happy with her, we asked her to play at my son's small, casual wedding this past weekend, 10/8/2017. As you can see, she can play at both small and large weddings effortlessly. We had many people compliment Shelley's work at both weddings. What a wonderful person she is. I would recommend her to anyone.

Shelley's harp music was a beautiful addition to our wedding ceremony!! Shelly was so professional, responsive and easy to work with. We met once prior to the wedding, via FaceTime, to discuss the details - she even had her harp ready so we could hear any songs before our big day. On the day of our wedding, Shelley played perfectly and the ceremony would not have been the same without her :)

My partner and I had an intimate wedding at The Chanler in late April and were interested in a classical harpist. We were recommended Shelley; and we were very glad we were. Shelley was beyond awesome. From the start, Shelley was easy to work with, eager to make our vision come to light, and game to add new music to her repertoire. Shelley also shared her thoughts on what we could consider for our ceremony and reception. We listened and hired her colleagues to play percussion and the cello. Shelley is incredibly talented, professional and a pleasure to work with. She comes highly recommended.

Shelley Otis was great at our wedding this past summer! She played the harp during our ceremony and cocktail reception and her music was beautiful. She helped us choose songs that reflected our style and taste. She was very accommodating and easy to work with!

Shelley was one of my favorite things about my wedding! Her music truly set the environment perfectly to what we were looking for. She is extremely talented, the instrument is beautiful, and she was so lovely to work with. She made things easy, and truly added that magical piece to our wedding ceremony & cocktail hour! I would recommend her to anyone!

Shelley was absolutely amazing to work with! She learned a new song for me to walk down the aisle to and it just made the day. I've gotten so many compliments on having her play the ceremony and cocktail hour. Definitely a highlight of the day for me and my guests. Shelley was fantastic and flexible. She always got back to me ideas, and when I wasn't sure what I was red her to play- she picked a beautiful selection.

Shelley was an absolute dream to work with! I decided to add music to my intimate wedding ceremony at the Providence Biltmore at the LAST minute and she was wonderfully flexible and communicative and PATIENT with me as an overwhelmed bride! Every single guest commented on how beautiful and fitting the harp music was and I was so incredibly grateful that she was available for my wedding because she provided beautiful musical accompaniment to an already magical day! Thank you, Shelley!!

We used Shelley for our wedding at the Biltmore in Providence and she was wonderful! I think having a harpist made the ceremony extra unique and elegant :). Shelley provided great professional service and beautiful music! She also provided mics for my officiant and Spanish interpreter which was super helpful.

I would highly recommend Shelley for any event - she plays both modern and classic music and will customize her playing (and learn songs) for your event. We hired two other independent musicians for our event and Shelley did an amazing job coordinating with them to create a beautiful joint music set. Beyond her lovely music, Shelley is a pleasure to work with - I only wish I had gotten to hear more of her music as the bride :)

Shelley played the harp beautifully at my wedding. I could not have chosen anyone better! She made the process very easy. She has a full list of songs that she can play from old to new artists. All you have to do is select them. For my bridal exit song, I wanted a piece that she hasn't played in a while. She was very flexible and offered to practice playing it again for my wedding. If you are looking for a great harpist, I highly recommend Shelley!

It is just not possible to explain how amazing Shelly was as our harpist. She is able to play any song. Our guests mentioned how wonderful the music for our ceremony was to hear it helped them think warm thoughts during a very cold outdoor ceremony (my fault should have moved it inside hahah), and she played several special requests for us that had personal meaning. The music was beautiful and is was truly a pleasure to work with her.

Shelley made our day extra special! Our guests are still raving about what a beautiful touch her music added to our ceremony. She is extremely talented. We even requested a special song that she learnt just for us. It really impressed me that during our consultation she was even able to figure out how to play a couple chords on the spot despite having never played it on the harp before. She was very professional and her prices were very reasonable. She even sent me a follow up email after the wedding thanking me for allowing her to be part of our wedding which I thought was very nice of her (none of our other vendors did that). I would definately recommend her to anyone out there looking for beautiful ceremony music!

We highly recommend!! Shelley did a lovely job doing our ceremony music!! She plays a large range of songs and was helpful making suggestions and playing songs over the phone for us to hear. Many of the guests commented on how beautiful the harp sounded. Her timing was perfect especially during the wine pouring ceremony! Thank you so much Shelley for making the day that much more memorable and romantic!!

I had the pleasure of working with Shelley for my ceremony and cocktail music. Through Shelley, I also hired a violinist and bagpiper for my wedding day music. I couldn't have been more thrilled with my experience with Shelley! She is extremely knowledgeable, approachable and so very talented! I greatly appreciated her help, patience and flexibility in helping me decide my wedding day music. My wedding day music was truly magical and I am just so grateful I found her! I would recommend Shelley to any bride/groom looking for a talented harpist - she truly surpassed all my expectations!!!

Shelley is amazing. She can literally play anything on the harp. We hired her to play for our wedding last Saturday at Leicester Country Club. my guests are still commenting on how beautiful the wedding was and how the harp added that extra special touch. She was also responsive, and very affordable. It was well worth the money to have her there. She was professional, and so talented. I would recommend her to any of my friends getting married:)

My partner and I got married after 33 years and Shelley was excellent. I did all of our work via internet and never had the opportunity to meet her in person until the wedding day and it was the best ever as she has a wide range of music which set the mood for the day. She played prior too the wedding and during the dinner hour and my guest as well as the wedding party who are musicians were ecstatic with Shelley's performance.

Shelley played both harp and piano during our wedding ceremony in February 2014. She's a very talented musician and can play a wide range of songs (classical, jazz standards, Led Zeppelin, Disney, etc.). Add a classy touch to your wedding and book Shelley!

Shelley is extremely talented. She played the harp for our outdoor wedding ceremony. She was able to play a mix of traditional ceremony songs with some non-traditional songs (such as the Beatles and Led Zeppelin) and the music was beautiful. (The harp itself is also gorgeous!) Many of our guests commented how lovely the music was and what a great addition having her there was to the ceremony. Shelley worked within our budget, was prompt and professional throughout the entire experience. Highly recommended!
