For this grand 55th birthday celebration, we transformed the picturesque golf course into a luxurious Dolce Vita experience. The scene was set with a long, elegant dining table, a chic lounge area and bar and a stylish stage that welcomed guests into an evening of indulgence and elegance.
At the heart of the design were Italian grapes in all their glory, serving as the focal point of the table centerpieces, accompanied by lush green and white florals. The intricate porcelain place settings were paired with crystal glassware, while bespoke linens and stationery featured a custom-created grapevine and fig motif. The setting was further elevated by elegant chairs and stunning crystal chandeliers, casting a warm, soft glow over the dinner party.
As guests arrived, they were treated to the signature cocktail of the night - Lilac Moon, a nod to the hit song by the celebrity artist who would later perform. Waiters circulated with an array of canapés and bites, while guests recorded birthday messages in an audio book and posed for pictures at our Vespa gelato station. A string trio, accompanied by a DJ, provided the perfect musical backdrop for the reception.
As dinner commenced, the guests were surprised by an unexpected twist: some of the waiters revealed themselves to be professional opera singers, delivering a few arias that left the audience in awe. Later in the evening, the host took the stage to perform a duet with Leonid Agutin, the popular singer and a family favorite. This unforgettable performance was followed by an hour-long concert, with guests dancing and singing along to the music.
The grand finale featured a spectacular cake moment and a breathtaking fireworks display, capping off the evening in true celebratory style. The afterparty continued into the early hours, with guests singing their hearts out in karaoke and enjoying late-night drinks under the stars.
