I planned thier wedding several summers ago and had the honor of planning a surprise 50th birthday party for John. Carla and I had so much fun and it was tough planning as John could not know why I was calling. But Carla came up with the idea of turning a local bar into a bar that John would love, it had to be an Irish Pub…She had coasters made as Save the Date cards and then a bottle of beer arrived in it’s own wood carrying case as the formal invite. How awesome is that! We changed the signs inside and outside on Patio and added decals to windows, had paper cocktail napkins with the logo, and even changed out the floor mat. (Great keepsake)  Service staff all had Redmond’s bar tanks and tees on! And to top it all off, the birthday cake was a mini version of Redmond’s Bar! The food was also amazing, not your typical fish and chips and greasy finger foods, but Hennessey’s Tavern created a custom menu of grilled filet mignon and fresh fish, rolled sushi, fresh tossed salads, mashed potato bar and the best part I think, the funnel cake station. Had to have one greasy item, right.  Happy Birthday John!  And thanks Lauren Hillary Photography for documenting his surprise and expressions!
