Dinner for Two

Guys…… If you really want to win a gal over, do what this guy did. A few weeks ago, a client called upon us to plan and execute what he called, “the most romantic birthday dinner ever" for his wife of five years. So, we did just that. He had a few requests for us--he did not want it to be in a restaurant, he wanted music, lots of chocolate, and peonies (her favorite flower).

So this is how it all unfolded. We sent the lucky lady a beautiful arrangement with a love letter asking her to be ready at a specific time for a birthday dinner at a secret location. After picking up the couple, the limo pulls up to the Cedars to find the walkway romantically lit consisting of votives and lanterns leading up to the enormous magnolia tree where their dinner awaited them. As they walked into the "room" of the magnolia tree, she is greeted by family photographs of her, her husband, and their two precious little boys hanging on the trunk of the tree and sitting on an antique desk amongst her favorite flowers, dreamy candlelight, and one deliciously beautiful cake. The tears begin to flow. Music is playing. Love is definitely in the air.

As Patrick plays their favorite songs, Andy, with Bravo, serves them the most amazing 4 course meal beneath the candlelight. Reminiscing, dancing, visiting with parents that dropped by to share a couple hugs and "hellos," it is so obvious the night was indeed perfect. Words cannot explain how honored we were to be a part it.
