Shelley Otis – Harpist

Stoneham, MA

About

Whether you’re planning an intimate elopement or a grand wedding celebration, live harp music brings a sense of elegance, warmth, and emotion to your day.

For smaller gatherings and elopements, the harp offers a delicate and personal touch, creating an atmosphere that feels intimate without overwhelming the moment. Whether you’re exchanging vows in your backyard, on a mountain top, or at city hall, harp music adds a graceful and memorable soundtrack that reflects the beauty of a meaningful, simple ceremony.

For larger weddings, live harp music makes a stunning impression—from the first note of your ceremony to the last toast of your cocktail hour. Its rich, resonant sound can fill a spacious venue while still offering a sense of romance and refinement. Whether you’re walking down the aisle in a cathedral or hosting a garden celebration, live harp music elevates the entire experience.

No matter the size or setting, the harp adds a timeless, heartfelt presence to your wedding day—one that you and your guests will remember long after the last note fades.

Song Details
Do you know exactly what you want for your wedding music? Don’t know where to begin? For either situation, I’ll work with you to create a set list to set the mood for your special day. If there is a song you want that I don’t already play, I enjoy the artistic challenge of adapting all kinds of music to the harp, and I am committed to finding just the right music for you.

What to Expect
Ceremony music usually includes a half-hour of music beforehand as guests are arriving, entrance songs for the wedding party and bride, and a song at the end of the ceremony as you are leaving as a newly married couple. Some couples also elect to have music during the ceremony itself, as part of a unity candle, sand ceremony, or knot-tying ceremony.

I’m also available to play for the cocktail hour or reception. The sound of the harp fills the air but doesn’t overpower conversation, and creates an elegant yet lively vibe sure to please your guests. If you want to turn it up a notch, I can bring my band HarpBeat.
