A FRIEND’S FANCY BDAY PARTY:
CREATIVE DIRECTION, PRODUCTION
Some of my closest friends have high expectations because their experience is vast. They've witnessed the best of everything, and are no longer moved by much of it.
I was asked to conceive, produce, and host an epic 60th birthday — for a friend who is not easy to impress. The concept married his love of yachts with his love of Nashville dive bars — high meets low, underwater. I hired every musician, artist, performer, and chef, and built the whole world from scratch for 100 of his closest friends. I managed a $300,000 budget and we created an evening that felt like it could only have happened once.
Guests received a custom lookbook a month before the party — because even the best-dressed people appreciate a little inspiration, a bit of direction, and permission to get a little weird.
