Surprise birthday at Dolce's Lounge



We received a frantic call from one of our repeat clients that needed a venue for her husband's 40th birthday party. She was concerned about having her party at her house because it was too small to host an adult party. I presented her with the idea of having it at Dolce's in Bonita. After a meeting with their events coordinator, we set up a menu of food and beverages that was within her budget. We arrived early to set up the balloon centerpieces we made with 40th birthday mylars and latex balloons. We had menus created with the birthday boy's early childhood pictures. The buffet table was set with beef and chicken skewers, crab cakes, and nachos. We also had a chocolate fondue set with marshmallows, strawberries and bananas. The bartender served up a variety of drinks to the guests as they presented their drink tickets. I gave out drink tickets to each guest as they arrived and were checked into the "VIP" list. The birthday boy arrived to the restaurant thinking it was just him, his wife and son. His guests shouted the traditional "Surprise" and the guests started off the evening dancing to Old School.
