We had the pleasure to travel last Saturday to Anaheim Hills to celebrate Chris’ birthday and also her 34th wedding anniversary with her great husband Sal!
Chris & Sal are famous all over Southern California for throwing the best parties EVER!
So it’s very naturally that they had a Casino Theme with Craps and Blackjack tables in a full Vegas Way! They hired Black Tie Events and its great team of dealers.
There is no denying this party was lavish, exciting, and full of surprises.
Chris is a special woman, as is her husband Sal.
We are so grateful to have been part of their wonderful night of celebration with more than one hundred and twenty guests ! To allow everybody to play Craps and Black Jack, we had to give a color name tag to all their guests, and I was assigned to the meets & greets. I loved to welcome their family and friends, that definitely set the mood for a great celebration.
At this Birthday Party, there was a musical focus on standards to set-up the mood for the guest arrival and we decided to progressively build up the beat to start the dancefloor with some Classic Rock (Peter Frampton, Sammy Hagar & Rod Stewart, the Beatles and Rolling Stones) & Dance Music for the dance floor from Upside Down to Blurred Lines.
To entertain their guests, we had some trivias about Chris’ life! We learnt about her love for Vegas & how Del Taco played a major role in her life!!!Donna, her bestie, knew all the answers!
We gave a special Award for the Best Dancer of the night to Helen, Sal’s mom, 83 years young, as she danced like a trained professional till the end of the night.
One of the highlight of the night was Sal Jr. Performance. Sal Jr is a very talented guitarist and offered a concert to his parents, their family & friends. It was a very special and touching moment.
We have to mention the awesome catering team from Jay’s Catering from Garden Grove. The food presentation was stunning and delicious, and the staff very professional.
They created a stunning Tiffany &Co Cake and Chris blew out the candles with the “Birthday” song from the Beatles.
As Ryan & I were in full wedding mode after DJIng/ Emceeing 3 weddings in 8 days, we suggested them to have a cake cutting, a first dance and a bouquet toss to celebrate their 34th wedding anniversary!
It was a big hit, we played Al Green “Let’s Stay Together” for Chris & Sal and then, Chris’ Dad had also the opportunity to dance with his daughter, as 34 years ago, with his daughter! That was a beautiful moment.
As we heard “Bad Girls” from Donna Summer, all the “Single Ladies” knew it was their moment to try to catch the bouquet! It looked like a Mosh Pit at a Sammy Hagar concert!
We hope the winner will choose us to DJ her upcoming wedding LOL!
A special thanks to Austen, the special guest of the night, who passed his 8pm bedtime and hung out for the special night.
Austen, Chris & Sal’ grandson is the cutest baby around and brought a lot of joy and happiness with his smiles and flirty personality!
Chris & Sal, thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your awesome birthday and anniversary party.
It was an honor to be there for your celebrations.
