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.

    Shelley Otis, the harpist, was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was extremely communicative, staying on top of schedules and promptly responding to any requests for information. The music she played during our ceremony was wonderful and exactly matched the songs we had requested. Shelley's professionalism and attention to detail really contributed to making our special day even more magical. We couldn't have asked for a better harpist to be a part of our wedding celebration.

  • One of the most special parts of our wedding!

    Shelley was incredible. Her style and skill on the harp added so much to our event and our guests were really in awe. She was so wonderful and even in the moment that I was walking down the aisle (and was so overwhelmed!) I felt so connected to the music because Shelley had learned one of my favorite songs that I had chosen to walk down the aisle to. It was very special! Thank you Shelley.

    Shelley was wonderful to work with from the moment I first reached out to inquire about her services. Shelley was very timely, professional, and caring in her communications with us. Shelley was also very flexible in last minute changes that came up. Her music for our ceremony and cocktail hour sounded so beautiful!
