A Jersey Shore Birthday Party
We said goodbye to the Summer of 2023 at Paul’s Nautical-Themed Birthday Party by the bay!
Paul’s 60th Nautical Birthday Party was spectacular! Every detail was well throughout and made the entire night one to remember!
As guests arrived, oysters were shucked, appetizers were passed, and toy boats raced in the pool! It was so fun to watch everyone amazed by how quick the boats were! The tiki bar served Paul’s signature drinks; a Classic Gin & Tonic, Watermelon Margarita, and Aperol Spritz.
Live music played in the background as everyone mingled. I was excited every time the band played John Mayer, my favorite! Everyone was so happy to celebrate Paul and the close of summer! Paul’s wife, Fran, mentioned that she hadn’t seen some of her guests in years and it was so great to have everyone together!
One of the most touching parts of the night was when Fran surprised Paul with a performance from a youth band. The band played multiple numbers for the crowd and ended with a big Happy Birthday for Paul!
The details!
Kyle Michelle Wedding & Events thought of every last detail for the party! The backyard was full of mermaids, rope, and anchors flowing the nautical theme throughout the yard. Everywhere I turned there was a new beautiful detail! Swans even greeted us in the back bay!
Oh! And the tablescapes! STUNNING! Vases were full of greenery, phragmites, and beautiful yellow buds. White coral, driftwood, candles, and wood accent pieces meticulously covered the long tables to enhance the nautical vibe. Every guest was seated according to their hand-painted oyster shell customized with their name! Beautiful custom menus tied the whole table decor together for guests to share and chat over!
I had a blast closing out the summer at the Jersey Shore celebrating Paul’s birthday! Thanks for letting me capture your night! Cheers!
