Helping plan and execute a Japanese themed 50th Birthday party. The guests were greeted with Kimonos and Sake.

There were performers for the guests and everyone had an amazing time (including myself)!

It helps if they have their event really thought out. What kind of theme, how many guests, if they will have signature cocktails, what they want to serve etc.
