Review by Katie C.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 21, 2016•From Boston, MA

I can't believe it took me so long to write a review for Shelley!! She played the music at our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour in December of 2013. Not only was she fantastic in all possible ways, but she took the time to talk with my 16 year old nephew who played the piano during the ceremony. She complimented him and gave him some advice...he brings it up still! She was an incredible musician and presence at our wedding. Thank you Shelley!

Shelley filled our wedding day with beautiful and heartwarming music. She lit up both the ceremony and reception venues with your talent and we are so grateful to have asked you to play for us. My husband and I really appreciate that she learned to play our favorites songs even though we didn't provide enough notice. Shelley, thank you so much for helping make our wedding a grand success!!

Shelley was just amazing. She learned an Indian song for our wedding and was so flexible. She was also so responsive! Whenever we had questions, she would try to help us out!

Shelly is quite literally the COOLEST harpist ever!! She was able to handle last-minute scheduling requests and questions. She was able to handle that our event was slightly different than how we planned it to be. And she is amazingly talented and has a GREAT energy. If you believe in auras, Shelly has beautiful energy and it comes through in her music. Anyone who hires her will be so lucky to have her!

Shelley was such a wonderful addition to my daughter's wedding day. We had an outdoor, garden wedding and the harp was the perfect addition to the ambiance. Unfortunately it rained and we didn't quite get the atmosphere we were hoping for. Shelley still managed to add such a beautiful element to the wedding and the quick change from outdoors to indoors made no difference to soothing sound of her harp and beautiful list of songs - contemporary and just so lovely. Guests are still raving about how wonderful she was. I can't say enough about how perfect it was!

Shelly was fantastic. Professional, on time and her playing was exceptional. She’s a very talented woman and a joy to work with. Her repertoire is broad and she’ll work with your needs. Don’t think twice about booking her. Fantastic experience.

Shelley was amazing to work with and was perfect for our event. The music was great and she even brought a percussionist with her, which only added to the performance. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a harpist!

Shelly had a wide range of songs to play and set an elegant tone to the evening.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on December 18, 2017•From Arlington, MA

Shelley learned a specific song just for my wedding and it was perfect. I had not heard the song until just before I walked down the aisle. Right when she started playing, I immediately teared up because it was exactly what I wanted! All of her music was amazing. I loved having classic rock songs played on the harp, and so did everyone in attendance. After the wedding, I had a lot of people complimenting how beautifully Shelley played. Thank you for making our day extra special!

Shelly Otis is amazing. I hired her to play for my Grandmothers funeral at her graveside. She will forever be in my family's memories as an incredible artist and a beautiful person inside and out. She looked like an angel sent from Heaven to lessen my family's grieving. I will never be able to thank her enough.

Wedding•Reviewed on August 26, 2017•From Hampton, NH

Shelley was amazing! As the bride, I didn't get the chance to speak with her for more than a few minutes, but everything was perfect. She played the right songs at the right times, and dressed the part, and even agreed to wear a flower crown that we provided! I would definitely recommend her.

Shelley was a pleasure to work with. Her response to emails was quick and professional, she was more than accommodating (adding a vocalist at the last minute), song choices were very good and she is very talented. We had many compliments including a friend who watched the live stream of the wedding and said she was amazing. I would highly recommend her for any event.

Shelley was absolutely wonderful! She plays the harp beautifully and knows an unexpectedly fantastic variety of music. From classical, to pop, to modern rock, Shelley knows a little bit of everything! It was nice to hear the magical sound of the harp paired with my favorite music. Even my husband's friends (guys in their late 20's-early 30's) really enjoyed the music. Beside that, she was a pure delight to work with. She was always very pleasant whenever I talked to her and she was very accommodating for the big day: willing to learn new music, bringing a mic for the ceremony, etc. Hiring Shelley was one of the best choices I made for my big day. :)
