💚🖤 WOW. What a night. 🖤💚
Last night was absolutely incredible. It was everything we hoped it would be and so much more. Joe had the time of his life, and seeing so many friends, family, customers, and supporters come together to celebrate his 50th birthday was something we’ll never forget.
To everyone who came out, showed up, showed out, wore your black and neon green, danced, laughed, celebrated, and helped make it the party of the year, THANK YOU. We are beyond grateful.
A few special thank yous:
🍴 Bethany Schaubhut Vieregge the food was AMAZING. Those meatballs, the sushi rolls, and everything else were a huge hit. We received so many compliments all night long, and every bite was absolutely delicious.
🎂 Shawn Ruiz thank you for creating such a beautiful birthday cake. Not only did it look incredible, but it tasted amazing too. We don’t even have a single piece left, which says everything that needs to be said!
🎧 DJ L you crushed it. You got the party started inside and then took it outside to the porch where the energy never slowed down. The porch was packed, the music was on point, and everyone had an incredible time.
🎸 Rock Kandy thank you for bringing the house down. The building was absolutely packed, the dance floor stayed full, and you helped create an unforgettable atmosphere. Our guests loved every minute of it.
🎈Kelli Gallardo and Jessica Faust thank you for spending hours helping me bring the decorations to life. Those balloons nearly took us out, but they turned out perfect. At this point, I think we need to start a balloon company.
🍽️ Amber, thank you for helping with the additional food items and making sure everything came together so smoothly.
🍹 And finally, to my amazing Backyard team…
I honestly don’t have enough words. These ladies worked their asses off yesterday to make sure every detail was perfect. They worked tirelessly from start to finish and helped create a night that Joe and I will never forget. We received so many compliments about the service, the atmosphere, and how smoothly everything ran, and that’s because of you.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
Joe and I are so incredibly grateful for every single person who helped make this celebration happen. Last night was special, and we’ll be talking about it for a very long time.
And yes… we took about a million pictures. 📸😂 We’re sorting through them now, and we’ll be sharing plenty of photos soon, so stay tuned!
We love you all. 💚
Happy 50th Birthday, Joe! 🎉🎂🍻
