The second wedding that I had last weekend was Amie & Aaron’s reception at Bittersweet Farm in Westport. As I’ve mentioned in this blog before, I love working at Bittersweet - the staff is always helpful and the food is amazing. Plus, the atmosphere is really unique compared to what you’ll find at most of the other banquet facilities in that area. Amie & Aaron hired me fairly recently - less than six months ago. Her dad encouraged her to meet with me after visiting Apponequet.com, a website that I put together many years ago to help my fellow high school classmates keep in touch.

The wedding guests arrived to the event a bit early, but I also arrive early and was ready to go well before my scheduled start time. Despite the early arrival, most of Amie and Aaron’s 125 guests stayed right until the very end of the reception. Both the bride and groom are into country music, so my song selections included more country songs than I’d normally play. Everyone loved it, whether they were dancing to “Friends In Low Places” or “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk”. It was an outstanding event, and a terrific finish to a busy weekend!
