This birthday celebration was designed to feel elegant, warm, and effortless. Rather than a full buyout, the hosts chose to enjoy 60 percent of the patio, allowing the space to feel lively while still remaining intimate and dedicated to their guests. The evening began with a one hour cocktail reception and live singing arranged by the family. Guests enjoyed light bites including fresh bruschetta and mini savory strudel, setting a relaxed and celebratory tone from the start.
