Axel's 70th Birthday Party

Hannah came to us with a next to impossible task. She asked us to plan a surprise party at her house for her husband’s 70^th birthday. Thankfully, her husband, Axel, travels quite a bit and we were able to plan our stealthy meetings with Hannah in-between his trips abroad.

Hannah’s vision for her property included a peak top tent, dressed with flowing white fabric and dripping crystal chandeliers. Our team brought in modern white furniture and mirrored accents to give the backyard a fresh, South Beach feel.

Guests were greeted at the front door by a cigarette girl model and headed to the back of the house in preparation for the birthday boy’s big surprise. Axel’s face was priceless when he walked through the door and saw 40 of his closest friends and family members, many of whom had traveled halfway across the globe for the celebration.

Hand in hand, Axel and Hannah ended the night with a dance to Frank Sinatra’s “You Make Me Feel So Young” as a slideshow played in the background of Axel’s childhood photos.

A great time was had by all and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate 70 years of life!
