Robin and Tim’s Bass Rocks Wedding, 09-24-22
Robin and Tim our dear friends of Curtis and Curtis and Laure had the honor of providing DJ and MC, as well as photography services for their wedding day at Bass Rocks in Gloucester MA. Their close friend Todd was the officiant of the ceremony and he did a fantastic job with snippets of humor that had friends and family howling. Formal Photos on the ocean were fun and breathtakingly beautiful. I sent a package with a handful of printed photos in it as a gift as well as all of the images from the entire day, in full resolution, in a Google Drive folder. Robin and Tim are very much into their music and so we had a specific set of songs that needed to be played which made our very attractive, very popular bride and groom very happy 🙂 In my opinion it was a perfect wedding day. Everything went right and nothing went wrong.

Natalie and Scott’s Wedding Reception. 09-24-22
Curtis and Laure were the DJs and photographers for Natalie and Scott’s wedding reception at the Nabnassett Lake Country club in Westford MA. The guests were crazy and bouncing off the walls, and it was a very fun wedding reception with lots of singing along and crazy dancing. Scott provided music recorded by his grandmother Shirley, and we played these songs during the reception for people to dance to and for their final dance of the evening as husband and wife. We had a 45 inch 4K TV set up and as we took the photos we re touched them and loaded them wirelessly to the ongoing slide show. Groups of people gathered in front of the TV and pointed screamed and laughed as they watched the images go by. At the end of the party a large number of people chanted “One more song! One more song!” and that is the definition of a great wedding reception 🙂
Chelsey & Shawn McCarthy’s Wedding Ceremony & Reception 09-10-22
Curtis and Laure were the DJ’s and photographers and provided 2 audio setups, lighting and a 4K TV for LIVE photo editing. One audio set up for the ceremony which was out on the lawn beside the fountain. The other audio system was set up inside the tent. It was a crazy fun bunch of people who all yelled and screamed until the end of the reception and then the after party followed with one of the biggest bonfires I have ever seen. They chose to have the party at their home but you might have thought that you were at a ritzy 5 star wedding facility because they left nothing to chance and everything was upscale and impressive. Because I have an irrigation system with 30 heads at my home I asked Shawn how many heads his very impressive system had. When he responded 150 my jaw dropped 🙂 – Curtis
Ali and Matt’s Wedding Ceremony and Reception 09-03-22
September 3 2022 Curtis and Laure were are the DJ’s and photographers, and Curtis was the JP for Ali and Matt’s Wedding Ceremony and Reception at the Maynard Road and Gun Club, Maynard, MA. . Scott and Melissa were DJ mixers and Steven and Megan were attendants for the photo booth. The staff was run by Julie who was extraordinary in every way. She helped the bride the groom all of the people from our company, all the people that work there, all of the guests and the caterers as well. Ali and Matt had a wonderful time and did a lot of laughing and hugging and kissing. The ceremony was beside the pond that is behind the club and the reception was inside the pavilion which is a large covered structure that is open on the sides. The staff lit tiki torches in the evening which kept the bugs away 100%. There is no power outlet down by the pond so we brought a battery based generator and took care of the music and microphones for the ceremony. Curtis was the JP while Rich did sound and Laure took photos. The gun club instructed the people firing at the gun range to ceasefire for the 1/2 hour that surrounded the ceremony so it was just the quiet sounds of nature in the background while they had their beautiful ceremony which set the tone for a wonderful wedding day.
Renata and Matt’s Wedding Ceremony 08-21-22
Matt and Renata had their wedding ceremony in Dracut MA. It was in the backyard of a beautiful home and many friends and family attended. Curtis was Justice of the Peace and Laure was the photographer. They had an interpreter who spoke Portuguese and English and she translated when people spoke English and when they spoke Portuguese as well. Curtis and Laure retouched all of the photos and sent them to Matt in a Google Drive folder. At one point during the ceremony both Matthew and Renata leaned over and kissed Curtis on the cheek and Curtis notified everyone in attendance that this was the first time that had ever happened. Everyone laughed. It was a wonderful ceremony with lots of love and happiness.
Tommy and Katherine 08-20-22
On Saturday August 20, 2022, Curtis and Laure were the DJs for the wedding celebration of Tommy and Katherine Courtney. It was held at the Nabnasset Lake Country Club and everyone had a fantastic time including the parents of the groom Tom and Nora Courtney, who were very kind to Laure and me. We both shot photographs from beginning to end and edited them on the spot, after which they were sent wirelessly to our 45 inch 4K TV that was set up for the audience to view. Many of the invited guests came up and asked how we got the photos up on the TV ready for viewing so quickly and I explained to them that we have a top of the line professional editing suite that we bring with us and we edit the images on the fly. Within 24 hours all of those images were sent to the parents of the groom. The guests they invited were wild and crazy from beginning to end and the dance floor was packed the entire night! https://www.ckephotos.com/courtney
Wedgewood CC Family Day 2022!
On August 30, 2022 Curtis and Laure from CKE had the pleasure of being DJ’s and masters of ceremony for the Wedgewood Country Club “Family Day 2022”! There were 200 plus in attendance and there were kids and parents involved in a well-planned well executed series of games and interactions that included the water balloon toss, dizzy bat, GaGa ball, pool relay races, a number of games for kids 7 and under Plus the legendary “Adult Cannonball Contest”. Some of the adults caught so much air off the diving board it was amazing to watch:-) Jersey Mike’s delivered several tables stacked High with pre-ordered lunches that were completely delicious. Every aspect of the day was well planned out by the staff, who treated us as though we were close family and afforded us every possible courtesy. One thing that I do feel compelled to mention was that during the entire afternoon event I was patted on the back and given handshakes and told what a great job we were doing by probably 15 people or more, which is very rare. Then when we were leaving I made a point of telling Maureen how surreal it was to have so many people take the time to go out of their way to come over and say hello and thank me for being there and tell me what a good job we did. When I left her and walked to my car which was about a 60 second walk two more people stopped me to thank me for being there and to tell me what a great job I had done. It’s one of the greatest places on Earth, and a little known Oasis Of Happiness decency and courtesy. I was curious what it would take to become a member because it is so nice there and I was told there is at least a five-year wait. And that tells the story and is no surprise to me 🙂 Special thanks to Maureen, Wendy, Rachel, and Sue, who all treated me and Laure as though we were close family and helped us every chance they got 🙂
