On Sunday March 22nd 2009, Midnight Hour performed for the wedding reception of Ira and Elizabeth Platt at Harry’s Savoy Ballroom. The band loves performing at Harry’s Savoy … it’s a terrific venue, with a friendly staff and really beautiful ballroom. Gloria Talbot oversees the wedding receptions at Harry’s Savoy, and she does a wonderful job every time.
Ira and Elizabeth chose “I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You” by Elvis Presley for their first dance, followed by a traditional Jewish Hora. Our saxophonist, Darren Lucis, received a huge round of applause at the end of the Hora for his remarkable clarinet work during Hava Naglia. After dinner, their guests filled the dance floor and never let up. We kept the party going with the songs Ira and Liz had chosen from our song list – plenty of Motown, 70’s / 80’s / 90’s hits, some golden oldies like “The Twist”, and we were sure to play Liz’s favorite song, “Dancing Queen” by Abba.
We also got to meet photographer Susan Miller. Susan is a great photographer from Wilmington, and she did a great job of capturing the moments. Please visit her web site, Photography by Susan Miller.
Our best wishes for many years of love and happiness to Ira and Liz!
