About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

With a set list of over 400-songs (and growing!), Shelley's music has delighted bridal couples and audiences throughout New England for over ten years. Her keen sense of musicianship, wide-ranging repertoire and refreshing approach to the harp offer versatility in planning weddings and events. Whether you want the classic Canon in D, the Beatles, Ed Sheeran, Celtic dances, jazz improvisation, or Led Zeppelin, Shelley plays it all, and her gentle manner will make you feel at ease. And if there's a song you want that isn't on her list, she delights in arranging music of all types for the harp and is committed to making your day special. Love the harp but want something a little more? Shelley is a multi-instrumentalist who also plays the piano & organ, and is connected to a network of collaborating musicians who can mix the harp or piano with violin, cello, Uilleann pipes (Irish bagpipes), recorders, bass, and hand percussion. Shelley has performed at weddings, private parties, business functions, coffeehouses, and concerts throughout New England and abroad. Past appearances include the Boston Recorder Society Concert Series, Sharon Performing Artists Association, South Shore Folk Music Club, Joe Davies Folk Festival, Soule Homestead Concert Series, the Boston Early Music Festival, Boston's Liberty Hotel, the Block Island Concert series, Evohe in St. Etienne, France, the Ritz Carlton in San Juan Puerto Rico, and the Westin in Cancun, Mexico. "Shelley is amazing and so much fun! We were trying to cut back on the budget for the ceremony music, so we decided to hire Shelley instead of a group of musicians. I'd never heard a harp at a wedding before, and now I don't know why more people don't choose it–it's the perfect instrument to stand on its own, always sounds good, and can play anything. We didn't want anything too "wedding" sounding (Pachelbel, Here Comes the Bride), and she had plenty of awesome suggestions–I walked down the aisle to "Here Comes the Sun." I wish I held other events I could invite Shelley to play at!" (Chelsea & Steven, August 2012)

Review by Shivam S.

Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on March 19, 2024From Boston, MA

From the moment I found her profile online, it was clear that Shelley was the best one out there! From the get go, she was incredibly easy to work with and was super communicative through out the whole process. But what really sets Shelley apart is her undeniable talent! Before the proposal I loosely described to her what type of music we would like, but in the end I asked Shelley to go with what she thought was right – and am I happy I did! Her music helped to elevate our special moment into a truly heavenly experience. Even to this day, my fiancée highlights how Shelley’s music created the ambiance that made our moment so magical!

Club EventReviewed on December 8, 2023From Bedford, NH

Our Club's annual Holiday luncheon featured Shelley Otis as our guest entertainer, and she was truly wonderful!! So many of our members and guests raved about her performance, and suggested we hire her back again next year. Her artistry and talent playing a wide range of songs on the Celtic harp was truly delightful. From the moment I inquired about booking her for our event, Shelley was very responsive and accommodating about answering all of our questions and meeting our schedule and needs. Her fee was very reasonable. I would definitely hire her again, and would highly recommend her to others for their special event.
