On Saturday July 25 CKE DJ / MC Jeannie Clemens attended the Wedding for Allison and Gabriel at the New England Aquarium in Boston. A few days before the wedding Jeanne had injured her knee, and was on crutches.   She asked me ( Curtis )  if I would come along as her assistant.  I was thrilled to serve her (as photographer and videographer), as we have been friends for 40 years, and because as a coincidence I had a night off from doing weddings. The entire experience at the aquarium was far above what our usual experiences and expectations are from the venues we present at. Starting with Bob who welcomed us in at the gate and moved the barriers so that we could drive our car to the loading spot.  There was Abigail, the site coordinator and Sandra who is the love of my life. Sandra was the hands-on room captain for the evening. Sandra, Abigail and Bob plus Ellison, the audio visual and weather expert all treated us as though we were treasured members of their family.  Also, thanks to the large man who came and brought us ice water – nice guy! They waited on us hand and foot made sure that the vendors were fed first which is a very key component to an event that is often overlooked. The aquarium staff is a bunch of loving, warm, nurturing friends that invite the vendors onto the property and offer them every possible courtesy. Those courtesies extended all the way to the exact end of the evening when we were leaving the property when we did hugs and smiles. And now I cannot wait for my next event at the aquarium. It’s also important to mention that I spoke with two other DJs in the week leading up to this event and both of them told me that the staff at the aquarium was out of this world and that they do everything for you and treat you with respect and kindness. And they were not lying. This is a wonderful venue with tremendous views. There is so much to look at and so much to experience. There is not enough space to say it all here.  And the most important thing, the bride and groom seemed extremely happy with the outcome.  Jeanie did a great job as DJ; the dance floor was packed and everyone jumped up and down like crazy through the entire event and they even added over time. Allison and Gabriel put on a fantastic celebration leaving nothing to chance. The ceremony was outdoors, right next to the water, with Boston Harbor as the backdrop. Then we transitioned to cocktails inside the museum next to the penguin exhibit!  The reception was held in an attached tent.  I give the aquarium and Allison and Gabriel 5 stars. -Curtis Knight
