When my dear friend Brandon asked me to help organize his 40th birthday party, I was excited to be part of such a special occasion. We decided to host an intimate dinner party for 50 of his closest friends in the stunning neighborhood of Trousdale. The theme for the night was black on black.

I took care of all the little details, creating everything from the invites and menus to the handwritten name cards that added a personal touch. It was such a joy to see everything come together perfectly.

Chef Tara Retes, known for her incredible culinary talent, crafted our dinner menu. The food was as delicious as always. After dinner, we kept the party going with an after-party that was an absolute blast. The energy was electric, and everyone had a fantastic time dancing and celebrating late into the night.

Special thanks to my mom for helping me set up and to our amazing vendors who helped make this event a reality
