60 friends for my 60th birthday party. Cocktails, appetizers and sit-down dinner served in an elegant theater lobby. And then, we all see the theater’s hit play. And then we have more drinks and food and…dancing!...in the lobby after the play. An eight-hour party for 60 of my very best friends….plus the cast and crew after the play. When I realized what I had taken on, I figured I had lost my mind.
Fortunately, I found Vibrant Table, and all my concerns evaporated. Every one of my needs was immediately answered, and every one of my expectations was gloriously exceeded, by the magnificent party that Emily Michel and her Vibrant Table team hosted for my most-beloved people. Drinks, food, linens, flatware, and service are, of course, provided by Vibrant Table. But they also provided the flowers, decorations, and even the DJ for dancing!
Everything was just perfect! The cocktails were ample and served with speed and graciousness. The hors d’oeuvres were delicious and served continuously through the cocktail hour. The dinner tables were absolutely gorgeous, as were the flowers — so much so that one guest, who is a home decorator, asked for Emily’s number so that she could hire her for some work at the home of a wealthy client.
The dinner was fabulous, to the extent that several guests said the salmon was the best they had ever tasted — even in restaurants, not to mention from a caterer! The after-play party was a blast, with piles of food for my guests (who included the hungry cast from the play), and the music was irresistible, thanks to one of the best DJs I’ve ever encountered. (And as a 60-year-old dance maven, I have heard encountered quite a few.)
From first meeting to last dance, and at each moment along the way, Vibrant Table was my excellent partner in the happiest birthday party that I (or anyone) could have ever dreamed of. Thank you, Emily, and thank you, Vibrant Table, for a party that will live on as a memorably joyous event for me and all of my guests!
