We were tasked by our client to “top” her husband’s spectacular 60th and 70th birthday parties that we had previously produced. No pressure!
We developed a Retro Brooklyn theme, featuring foods that they both loved or that had meaning to their family. Studio 11 was perfect with it’s old-fashioned warehouse look and it’s secret “brick-alley” entrance between two buildings. With great lounge furniture and cabaret-style seating, a Frank Sinatra Crooner and an amazing photo booth – a Brooklyn Night Market Speakeasy was born!
Family and friends will still be talking about this party at his 90th!
