Review by Paula E.

Memorial ServiceReviewed on May 20, 2013From Providence, RI

Shelly played the harp at a comittal service forr my mother. She is a stand alone performer with great talent and poise. I contacted her several months prior to our scheduled event and she complied with all my requests. You will be delighted to have Shelly at your function and know that she will not let you down in any way. Paula

A pleasure to work with throughout the process and nicely varied repertoire (plenty of modern standards that were fun to hear on the harp). Highly recommended.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on May 12, 2012From Newport, RI

Shelley was terrific! She was professional and very accommodating. I wanted harp background music during the dinner at my daughter's wedding. She had a varied and extensive playlist and performed our many requests beautifully. Her flexibility and ease at the wedding was truly appreciated, since one never knows the exact start and finish time. I highly recommend this delightful, accomplished musician.

WeddingReviewed on June 13, 2013From Newport, RI

Where do I begin? I booked Shelley to play harp at my wedding ceremony several months in advance. We started emailing back and forth and had an inperson meeting where Shelley played songs for us to hear. The music was absolutely beautiful and the harp was magical, calming and heavenly. I can't thank Shelley enough for the countless emails I sent her with various requests ranging from getting her opinion to sending samples of music (I lived 3 states away from her). She was SO easy to work with. I so highly recommend Shelley, don't look any further!!!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on October 8, 2011From Old Saybrook, CT

Shelley performed at our wedding ceremony on October 2nd. She is an amazing harpist. She was a pleasure to deal with before the wedding too. She was very professional and she performed beautifully. Almost a week later I still have guests telling me how beautiful she played. We couldn't have asked for anyone better than Shelley for our wedding. Stacey and Steve Waldemer Old Saybrook, CT

Shelley did a great job playing harp music for my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. It added a special element to our day. She was accomodating in taking our requests for songs to be played and was easy to communicate with. I couldn't be more pleased!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on May 30, 2011From Mystic, CT

Shelley performed at our outside ceremony on a gorgeous day that started as a rainy and foggy one. She was very attentive to our needs and asked questions regarding details that we hadn't discussed in our contract. She was on time and ready to play as discussed, the music was beautiful and everyone commented on the harp music as it added a lovely touch to the event. Thank you Shelley! We will highly recommend you to others that are interested in hiring you! You helped make our day so special, our best to you! The Abbotts

CelebrationReviewed on October 7, 2011From Bristol, RI

Shelley performed for our wedding ceremony, we met a few months previous to our date to discuss music, we had to switch ceremony site at the last minute due to the weather, Shelley was extremely accommodating, she has an amazing talent, she is so sweet & professional. Everyone commented on how beautiful the ceremony was & a lot of the credit should be given to Shelley. Thank you Shelley for making our special day even more beautiful if anyone is looking for a harpist book Shelley you won't be disappointed !!!! I am looking for an excuse just to book you again:)

Wedding Cocktail HourReviewed on September 17, 2012From Bristol, RI

Shelley was wonderful to work with. She had a personal meeting with us prior to hiring her for our wedding. She was able to play any song we had requested, and she is amazingly talented. We had Shelley play at both our Church ceremony and at our cocktail hour. She played both the organ and Harp, and it was nothing short of beautiful. She was very proactive, going to the reception site prior to become comfortable with her surroundings, and to make sure everything would be perfect for her setup for cocktail hour. She was very responsive and offered many great suggestions for music at appropriate times during the Mass. I highly recommend Shelley!!

Without any reservation, I would certainly recommend Shelley for any event! Shelley played for our wedding ceremony outdoors in Newport Rhode Island and our guests are still talking about how great she was. Beautiful harpist player, the music was varied and provided such a wide array of styles for everyone to enjoy. Shelley certainly made for a memorable ceremony for us on our special day.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on May 21, 2012From Providence, RI

Shelley was simply fabulous!! She arrived early, was extremely professional, dressed in a gorgeous black dress and her harp selections were simply perfect for the setting. She was very easy to work with and offered the record her performance for us to listen to again on anniversaries and the like. I couldn't more highly recommend her!

Shelley's performance was one of the highlights of our wedding. Her music repertoire was vast. She spent a great deal of time helping me choose music for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Many guests complemented her performance. I could not have been happier!

WeddingReviewed on May 7, 2013From Haddam, CT

While I didn't first hand experience some of the great music that Shelley played because of wedding day jitters, she truly did a phenomenal job. Everyone had great things to say about her. She played our ceremony and cocktail hour to perfection. Thanks Shelley!

We could not be happier with Shelley!! It was one of the best decisions to hire her, all of the guests kept raving about her, and how fantastic she was. The mix between current and classical music was stellar. SO happy!!

Wedding Cocktail HourReviewed on November 14, 2013From Sturbridge, MA

Shelley was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can not thank her enough for performing great music at our cocktail hour. After meeting her, we communicated via email and she always responded right away which made her very easy to work with. My husband and I got a chance to see her play at our cocktail hour and it was great. We wanted to have time to attend our own cocktail hour because we didn't want to miss her! All our guests really enjoyed the great mix of songs she played and were very impressed! I would highly recommend Shelley to anyone looking for a great harpist for their wedding ceremony, cocktail hour or any other event. Shelley is the best!!!!!!!

Shelley is a wonderful, talented musician. She was a perfect addition to our wedding ceremony. I would highly recommend her. My only regret was that I wasn't able to speak with her after the ceremony to let her know what a great job she did!
