Davenport Wedding Reception ~ Harpist in the Quad Cities

Although Lauren & Mosah were married earlier this year in Florida, her parents also hosted a reception back at home for family and friends in Davenport, Iowa.  Everyone gathered at the Davenport Country Club in the Quad Cities for cocktails, dinner and harp music!


With the beautiful weather, the cocktail hour was held outside on the patio.  I began to play in the ballroom when everyone came inside for the dinner service.  A slideshow of pictures from the wedding in Florida played in the back of the room throughout the evening, and there was also a special presentation of "growing up" pictures of the bride & groom that was put together by the bride's brother and set to music.

The pieces I played ranged from classical to Broadway to Top 40.  This included:
  • Spring from The Four Seasons
  • Air from Water Music
  • The Wedding Song (There is Love)
  • Time of Your Life
  • Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler on the Roof
  • Marry Me
  • Close to You
  • Evergreen
  • Embraceable You
  • Someone to Watch Over Me
  • When I Fall in Love
  • Time After Time
  • Our Love is Here to Stay from An American in Paris
  • Unchained Melody
  • Rainbow Connection from The Muppet Movie
  • A Whole New World from Aladdin
  • Longer (a special request from the Mother of the Bride as it was played at her wedding)
To close the night, I finished with "What a Wonderful World."  The harp isn't limited to just classical music!   People love hearing songs that are familiar, but with the twist of the presentation on the harp.  To find out more about including harp music in your event plans, visit my website ~ Quad Cities Wedding Harpist.
