About Shelley Otis, Harpist

Shelley Otis

harpist

Shelley is a multi-award winning harpist based in the Boston area. Her musical style ranges from elegant classics to lively covers of pop songs. Couples can choose from a variety of genres including popular, classical, jazz, and various world traditions, and they are welcome to request additional songs that aren’t on her list. Finding just the right music for every couple is her top priority.

In addition to solo harp, Shelley plays piano and organ, and also collaborates with a violinist, cellist, percussionist, bassist, and vocalist. Any combination of instruments is possible, from a harp/violin duet, to a full band with harp, violin, percussion, and bass—a unique ensemble that brings an elegant yet lively sound to your wedding cocktail hour or reception.

    Shelley added some absolutely amazing special touches to our big day! She is so incredibly talented, people were tearing up before we even began to walk down the aisle. Shelley has an incredibly wide variety of songs to choose from and if given enough time, is able to learn new songs for your event! Not only is she talented, she is also kind and a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive to all inquiries we had and brought/set up all of her own equipment. Thank you again, Shelley!

  • Wonderful harp music!

    Besides being a very talented harp player, Shelley was super kind, friendly and wonderful to work with. She learned a song especially for our ceremony and it turned out beautifully. She consulted with us before the wedding to choose songs and took such care in preparing the music for the ceremony. Shelley’s harp playing added a magical element to our wedding day and we could not recommend her highly enough! Thank you! ️

    We’re so glad that we hired Shelley. She was so pleasant to work with throughout the entire process. She was humble, knowledgeable and super easy to work with in planning. She also had remarkable suggestions. When she arrived she did so with plenty of time to set up. The music was perfect and everyone complimented it through and through. She also helped us save money by suggesting more affordable packages, and customizing some to us. She even went above and beyond and did a couple of other things for our timeline that really made the night. Thanks so much for everything Shelley! You’re so talented
