A Presidential Evening
Two weeks ago, guests received the “presidential treatment” on a beautiful fall evening. After boarding privately hired motor coaches, guests were escorted swiftly through the streets of Boston to the John F. Kennedy Library by six of Boston’s finest motorcycle-riding police officers.
Upon arrival at the Library, guests were greeted by an authentic bagpiper, evocative of Kennedy’s Irish heritage.
Guests first had a private viewing of the Library’s iconic film which details the life of JFK leading up to his campaign for president. They then toured the exhibits and discovered who the great leader was during his presidency. Upon leaving the exhibits, guests entered the Pavilion filled with sounds from a string trio and were greeted with drinks and passed hors d’oeuvres.
The dinner itself was a replica of a French menu that would have been served in the White House during the Kennedy administration. Delicious appetizers including deviled eggs and chicken vol au vent were passed along with traditional French wines. The gold ballroom chairs, Federal Blue Chateau Linens, gold flatware, crystal stemware and silver bowls filled with cream roses completed the Presidential theme.
Guests feasted on a three course dinner that ended with a real presidential treat, a lively acapella performance by the Harvard Krokodiloes!
