I went back to the SNPJ in Enon Valley, PA this past weekend for the wedding of Jennifer Barthen and Mick Minamyer. Jennifer is the daughter of my High School Band director and I was so happy that they asked me to come and play for the big day.
Mick is a band director as well and picked out some awesome and unique music for cocktails and dinner. After that Jenn and Mick were completely open to whatever their guests wanted to hear. The really enjoyed the oldies, country and rock music… and yes, they did the chicken dance (Jennifer’s brother FAVORITE!).
Mick performed a Sister Hazel song for Jennifer that he had been practicing in secret for months. It was a great moment.
The SNPJ is always great. Their caterer/coordinator David is on top of everything all night long, makes my job super simple.
